But I will admit that I took on another aka since I posted here last and I am also known as..... chickiethedestroyer! LOL. Anyone else like to introduce themselves? Or "re-" introduce themselves?

Originally Posted By aurorasdream Hi, I am Aurorasdream and have been on here before under a couple different names: Aurora and Tamitha (I think)... it's been awhile (forgot my passwords). I found LP when I was planning a trip to Disneyland a few years ago and hung around a little, mostly playing some of the games on the board. Love Disney, last trip was sooo long ago though, WDW in 2004, I am really missing it and would love to go to either DL or WDW again. I am a full time student, looking for an excuse not to do my homework, especially when I get writer's block from my English class! I just love the distraction of discussing Disney instead of all the business classes I'm taking. Hmm... let's see, what would I rather discuss, inflation and the law of demand or Pirates of the Caribbean and Fast Passes. Tough one to call! It seems like a real nice group of people on this board and I hope to get to know you guys better!
Originally Posted By ImaDLFan Hi! I found out about LP from a friend (murfsmom) who dragged me to a meet at DL in July 2007. So I think it might be unusual that I have met people before I actually read any of their posts. I was a little worried that I would be getting myself mixed up with a strange group of axe murderers but I'm compelled and happy to say that I have never met a better group of people! Everyone is so nice and I really look forward to participating and not lurking so much!

My friends in college (GEORGIA Institute of TECHnology) <a href="http://www.gatech.edu/" target="_blank">http://www.gatech.edu/</a> began calling me Gatsby for fun, and it sort of stuck. Once again I have returned home to live in Southern TN, near the state line.I have no kids, no wife, no girlfriend, but a few very good close friends, and several acquiantences. I am not gay, however I have no qualms with those who are. Like most people I simply exists to live responsibly, finding happiness in being content. I have been known to enjoy throwing a good party which earned me the nickname "Gatsby." I use it everywhere (online anyway). My political views are quite simple. I support Uncle Sam and respect the office of the POTUS. I wave the flag as if I were a Boy Scout. I'm proud of our country. I think "God" should stay in the pledge and all school kids should say it daily. Burn the flag, get deported. My religious views are simple. All cats have 18 half-lives. I come from a large family. When it comes to relationships I am very easy. I have very thick skin, I take nothing personally and tend to shrug off things that seem to offend most people, especially on message boards. Do not misinterpret this. I am NOT saying that I am in any way better or more enlightened than anyone else. Quite the opposite is likely the case. I probably should take offense at something after all. I am on this message board because I have a good deal of spare time. I enjoy reading message boards and learning about other people,and making friends. I have made some very close friends over the past couple of years simply chatting or posting. I love Disney parks and movies which is how I found this site on Google. I am glad to be here, everyone seems to be very kind. I go down to Walt Disney World at least one time per year.
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin In honor of Shiva and Tiggirl I will bump this thread. I'm WDWdreamin and I'm pretty new to LP. I'm a fourth year vet student at Washington State (in Pullman). Fourth year is all clinical rotations so I am done with classes and tests (other than the national vet exam). I'm from the west side of LA. My dad's a prof at UCLA Med School. I went to DL about once a year growing up, and close to that since. Villains would probably say it hasn't been that long since I was there (HS grad 2000). I went to college at UC San Diego and spent a year at the Univerisite de Bordeaux (France). My fiance is German. Our five year together anniversary is coming up next week. Our wedding is planned for Aug. 1, 2009 in Santa Monica. I'm hoping to go to WDW for our honeymoon, maybe a delayed one. Thanks everyone or making me feel welcome here and I'm always up for questions. You can usually find me in the Smed thread these days.

So, my name is Jaime, aka x pirate_princess x, aka xPPx. I'm 28 and a single mom to 2 little girls, who love Disney and Disneyland as much as I do. This July will be our 2nd LP meet, where we met many many awesome LPers, including Shiva and Tinkeroon, with whom we have shared every trip since (although, I think they've been a couple times without us!) I live in Southern CA, and up until this last March, had been APers for 2 years. Currently, I'm 3 hours from Disneyland, but I'm moving a little closer, although not close enough to justify a commute for me to work there! I am trying to finish up my AA, but am taking a break for a year until my youngest starts Kinder next August. I consider myself pretty open, and most here know a lot about me. But my email is in my profile if anyone needs to get ahold of me!

I would love to experience WDW one day.

My first trip to DL was in my mommy's tummy and I have been there over 20 times. The magical feeling I experienced years ago never went away and only strengthens with every visit. I currently attend the University of California Davis with hopes of attending med school!
