[AZ JazzyJ]

First Name: AZ. No wait, that is the first part of my screen name. Jeff. Not Jeffery, only my mother calls me that and usually after I have blown something up or she found a cat in the dryer.
State: Originally I came from heaven but it has been a while since I moved out so I don't remember much about it. Most of my life was spent in Idaho where I can vouch that Mr. Potatohead was indeed the governor of the Gem State. For the past 56 dog years I have lived in Arizona, hence the AZ in my name.
Age: According to the carbon dating done at the local museum of natural history, I am relatively young if I am a tree. I am thinking of moving to Mars since I would be 21.5 years old there and wouldn't have to have another birthday for a year and a half.
Married: I feel like I have been married my whole life but Adventure Girl tells me it has only been half my life (I think I picked the wrong half). Trina and I met running track in high school and have been together ever since.
Kids: We have kids coming out the wazoo. Ashley (18), Mallorie (15), Tiffany (11), Whitney (7), and Dakota (4 going on 20). We had our kids in alphabeticaly order by gender to make it easier on us for roll call.
Pets: Dog Dot Com - our 2 year old Bassett Hound who is half a dog high and three dogs long. Fish Dot Com - Trina's psycho fish that lives in a plant. (I don't make this stuff up, it just happens). We have an agreement in our house. Trina takes care of the pets, I name them.

MY DISNEY HISTORY:

First trip to a park: March 1982 - Trina and I went to Disneyland for Spring Break in college. We stayed at Zaby's Motor Lodge because it had a solar heated pool. How was I supposed to know that meant if the sun was out the water got warm?
What parks have I been to: Disneyland, Walt Disney World
Favorite Disney park: EPCOT
Favorite Disney attraction: Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion
Favorite Disney Show: They have shows there? I have never been to a Disney Show.
Favorite Disney Resturant: The Coral Reef (I think it has more to do with the diving than with the food).
Favorite Disney Resort: Wilderness Lodge (because I lived in Yellowstone Park as a child. It reminds me of home.)
Favorite Disney Character: Goofy (go figure)

MY PINS AND COLLECTIONS:

First pin: A plastic pin shaped like a potato. I was given a hand full of these to trade with other kids as part of a Little League all-star baseball tournament when I was 9.
Pin that started my Disney collecting: Slinky Dog without a butt. I bought this at WDW in June of 2000 because I liked it. A CM wanted to trade for it so I did and bought another one only to have another CM want to trade for it. I was freaked out that all the cast members wanted my slinky dog without a butt. I ended up leaving without Slinky dog as I couldn't find it after trading it away on the last day.
Favorite pin: Rubber Goofy Head pin. It was the first pin Trina traded for during our August vacation. Although she felt bad when she found out it was not tradeable, it has become my favorite pin because it reminds me of her and our time together.
Holy Grail pin: Stinky Pete
Pin I have given up trying to collect: Haunted Mansion Dangle (It is way out of my league)
Things I collect: I have been collecting gray hair for the past few years. Trina has graciously been storing it for me for quite some time but I think I am going to have to stop collecting it because she is running out of places to put it. I also appear to be collecting bruises from getting smacked a lot. Besides pins, I do collect Hot Wheels cars, baseball cards, and Arizona Diamondbacks ticket stubs.

MY OTHER FAVORITES:

Favorite Movie: *61, Field of Dreams, Major League, Bull Durham, League of Their Own (chick movie)
