The Official "Hi I'm So-And-So" Thread

[marni1971]

Hi, all. I`m Martin, known as Marni1971 here and at WDWMagic.com - and, yes, I`m male; I had no idea Marni was a females name in the US (it is a long story about a nickname, an old dearly departed friend and the Flintstones.. don`t ask!)

My hobby is video editing, hence my tribute videos and multi camera ride thrus of WDW and DLP - kind of the Eastern RU42 (hi). I have never been to, or probably will get to, Disneyland, so excellent sites like Visions Fantastic are the next best thing.

Hello to everyone! I'm Alex T. and have been around here since the Disneyland Source days. As a California native growing up in the San Gabriel Valley our family took many a trip to DL. I'm old enough to remember ride tickets, riding the Flying Saucers in Tomorrowland, eating at Capt. Hooks, and watching Mickey do a magic show in the Fantasyland Theater. Now living in San Diego, married with 4 kids, we try to make it up to the resort at least once a year or so.

Hey, I am Brent Ray. I grew up in Phoenix, AZ and I now live in the suburb Peoria. I have been devoted to Disneyland for about eight years. As you all probably know, I am a big fan of all the Disney parks around the world.

My favorite park I'll have to say is probably, Disney's California Adventure. I love it because most of the rides are big thrills and I am a roller coaster junkie. I love California Screamin', Tower of Terror, Soarin' over California, the Sun Wheel , and of course, my favorite: Grizzly River Run! I am also a devoted fan to Walt Disney World. I have been discovering what the parks have to offer, and now I know pretty much about anything over their. I am a big fan of the Animal Kingdom, and I love Kali River Rapids (as you can see, I love rapid rides).

Some of my other hobbies besides being a devoted Disney fan is playing sports (specificly Basketball, Baseball, and Volleyball). I also LOVE to use the computer. I am also a big fan of SeaWorld.

Another one of my hobbies is making web sites and video editing. I also love to film many attractions at the park myself, and then add music to enhance the experience. I am starting a web site called DisneyAvenue, and it's devoted to only the theme parks, not the music and movies. I will be creating movies and I will add music and update my site regulary. Right at the moment, my site is not up. I still don't know when I will get it all finished, but probably around the end of this year (still not sure about that!). I also would like to thank Visions Fantastic, because they were a big influence to start my own web site. Thanks Visions Fanastic! I would also like to thank my influencer: Walter Elias Disney, for making me a devoted Disneyland fan! Thanks again.

I remember that. Then we all started a discussion on what was in the water... yeah. Anyway, I guess I should introduce meself as well, eh? All right.

I am the great Zip~a~dee~doo~dah (name spelling and inspiration taken from the sing-along Disneyland Fun video I cherish). My nickname at high school is "Disney", but I prefer my more distinguished name, D'artagnan. I 'm studying computer graphics, cartooning, and soon, architecture, in order to become an Imagineer.

And I like those Twister Wraps from KFC with just Zinger sauce, chicken, and wrap. (In case you were wondering).

That's all folks!

HI! My name is Crystal. I love Disneyland! I just got back yesterday from a trip and am going to be there July 16-18. I graduated from California State University Sacramento in May with a degree in graphic design. I currently live in the San Francisico bay area, Martinez to be exact. I will be married for 4 years in August. I enjoy anything water related, swimming, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and jet-skiing. I have a cat named Summer, who we rescued. She only has one eye, and 4 teeth. She was pretty beat up when we found her, but she is the best animal we have ever had!

[Disneyland Fan]

My name's Jared. I just turned 23 and live with my girlfriend here in sunny Phoenix, AZ. I love this place called Disneyland, not sure if anyone here on the boards has heard about it ;-). I also love visiting Huntington Beach and playing with my 1 year old terrier pup named Jake. I'm happy to help with whatever I can!!! Nice to be on the boards with all of you!!!

Hola all! My name is Craig (aka ShrunkenNed) and I reside in Phoenix, AZ with my lovely wife, 2 dogs, and cat. Always been a huge Disney fan and an even bigger Disneyland fan. Fortunately, since I can't go to DL as often as I like, I discovered this site last year and now can't tear myself away!!!!

Hi,

I was once the Board memeber LeFantome, but somehow I have had to re-register as a new profile so now I am getting this oppurtunity to reintroduce my self. Im 14 and my name is Ren Pearson. I have Dreams of One Day becomming a Future Imagineer and hope that one day I will complete my project of creating the first virtual and online disneyland park.

[Cavemandon]

My name is, as you can probably decipher from me screen name, Don. I've always enjoyed going to Disneyland as a kid for the rides and the candy and Mickey. But it wasn't until I met one of my co-workers and asked her if she wouldn't mind taking a trip to the "Park" with me. That's when the "Magic" showed it's face and I came to realize that it truly was the happiest place on earth. Well, one year later we were married and this past March we celebrated our 11th Anniversary. (At the park of course!)

And speaking of 11th Anniversaries, last November, I celebrated the 11th Anniversary of my 29th Birthday! Yay!!! (That's the hill my parents kept talking about) My wife and I were not able to have any children but that doesn't keep us from going to the "Park" as often as our 3.5 hour drive will let us and acting like kids! (Every couple weeks or so) Since we don't physically have any children, but both have enough love for many of them we decided to share our love with animals. Well...cats....14 of them. Yes, I said 14. We have a three bedroom house and two of those rooms belong to our "Kids"

When I 'm not trying to herd the cats into their rooms or driving to the "Park", I'm driving to Santa Fe Springs, California for chorus rehearsal. You see, I sing in a 140 man barbershop chorus. We've won five straight International Chorus Championships and we will be going for our sixth this coming July in Salt Lake City, Utah. It means driving 3.5 hours TO rehearsal 3.5 hours AT rehearsal and 3.5 hours going home FROM rehearsal. (No wonder I put about 45,000 miles a year on my car.)

I think that's about it.... Oh, in my spare time I LOVE computer graphics. I'm alway working on some project, like DVD covers, another VF members personalized avatars, (PM me if you want one) a new Flash video of the awesome VF jingle, and many other things. And when I'm not doing any of that, I volunteer at the local community theater helping them build and design their stage sets, lighting plots, working the sound and lighting boards, etc.... whew.... I'm tired!

And that's it! (Or at least that's all I have TIME for.)

EDIT: As of 7/9/05 the chorus I sing with won their 6th International Chorus Championship. So I now own TWO chorus gold medals!
