°O° Disney Fans/Singles Photo Thread °O°

Running the risk of boring you all, but seeing as I'm bored and browsing around, I figured I'd post another to go with the other 2 a few pages back of 'lil insecure me'! lol

Go easy :scared1: :scared1:

:welcome: I'm not new to the boards, but new to the Solo/Singles threads. I must admit I find it a little intimidating to post on here as it seems like I'm the only one who hasn't met everyone else. I know, I know...just my shyness coming out I guess. From your pictures, I'd guess you don't have that problem, though. :)

What part of Cali are you from? I was born in Glendora, moved to Louisiana when I was young, but spent a few months out there every year until my daughter was born. Which means I haven't been back in *gasp* 20 years! I bet I wouldn't recognize anything!

My DD & I are planning a road trip out there next year & hope to drive the coast from San Diego to San Francisco. :car: It's to be her big 21st birthday present. Of course, we'll make a pit stop in Anaheim for DL to visit my old favorites & see what's new!

First, I need to appologise for my tardy reply. I had a devistating sudden loss in my family this week and have been out of sorts.

Actually, I have not met anyone from the boards yet. I only discovered the podcast and these boards a couple months ago and I am so excited!:dance3: You guys are so nice here! I guess I don't mind posting pics of myself because it's my way of saying here I am like me or not ;)

I live in Northern California in the San Francisco Bay Area. I lived in Disneyland area for 4 years while I went to college and I miss it terribly! I lived in Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia and Buena Park.

The area has changed greatly in just the last 10 years! I think it looks great! That sounds like so much fun driving from San Diego to San Francisco. Make sure you stop in Solvang. It's a cute little Danish village on the way up. Have a great trip!
 
Sorry for your loss MickeyFlower
 

I tend to post from time to time when I'm free, and I don't think I've ever posted a pic (at least to put a name to a face). I had to send a pic out to a friend, as she was curious on my V-day plans. I figured I might as well post the pic here as well. This would be the love I'm spending the night with:

Yes indeed, Beer is Metal! A night of relaxing, drinking beer, and playing guitar is just fine with me. For any beer fans interested, shown in the pic from left to right:

- Weyerbacher Fireside (AKA Charlie) Ale
- New Belgium Fat Tire Ale
- Lagunitas Censored (AKA The Kronic) Ale
- Rogue American Amber Ale



Hey it looks like we spent very similar Val Days! And my date is somewhat related to yours... only mine was of the wine variety;)

OMG, I was born in Baldwin Park and grew up in Covina. Graduated from Northview High and my 30th class reunion is July 25. Spent most of my adult life in Redondo Beach and working in Los Angeles. 5 years ago went back to school and got my nursing degree cause I was tired of "corporate" america. . .I have LOVED my life and my job ever since. Parents still live in West Covina. . .my best friends are from Glendora. . .Tracy Patterson, Robert LaRoche, etc. . .don't make me go on. . .my mind is a sieve these days and last names are becoming fuzzy. . .lol

It really is a Small World! I have cousins who grew up in West Covina! My parents grew up in Aruba (on the Standard Oil colony - both their dads were engineers for the refinery there), but when my mom's dad died of cancer when she was 16, she & her mom & brother repatriated to Sierra Madre, CA since that was the only place in the states where my Grams knew anyone. Then when my dad got back from Okinawa (Air Force), he married my mom & they moved to Arcadia.

Then they moved to Monrovia. That's actually the address on my little silver ID tag bracelet - remember those? And finally we landed in Glendora before my brother's allergies got so bad that it was recommended my folks move away from the smog/pollution. So, we moved to a 19 acre farm in Louisiana. Talk about a difference in scenery!

Still, we traveled back & forth every year. Some of my fondest memories is sitting on the retaining wall looking down at Foothill Blvd. traffic while I ate my ice cream cone. My cousin still lives in Glendora. Most of the rest of my family have moved elsewhere, but I still have some friends who live in Altadena and Pomona.

Wow, I got a little wordy.:flower3:

I've often thought of going back for a degree in the medical field. I think nursing is a great field to be in. I work in "corporate America" myself, and it has gotten really old. The politics, geesh!:sad2: I'm glad to hear you took the plunge & enjoy the results! :goodvibes

:hug: I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I grew up going to Disneyland several times a year. My DBF settled in California after getting his PhD at CalTech. He now lives in Altadena with his wife, but he's not a big fan of Disney! :scared1: Strange, I know! But, then, he is a bit strange - being a nuclear physicist takes a special kind of person. ;) But I love him! He's been my best friend since 1st grade. I'll just have to try harder to convert him. :woohoo:

I don't remember much of our trips to Northern CA, except for the rocky beaches & redwood trees. When we take our road trip, I'll be sure to check out Solvang! It doesn't look to be too far off US-101 which is the route I'm planning. And if it has pastries, well, then my DD will be ecstatic! She's got a real thing for pastries!:rolleyes:
 
HEY! I really am!

The pic was at Thomson Falls, on the road between Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara, Kenya. Taken in October 2008. Those guys I am holding are chameleons.

Very cool pic and I love those chameleons! They remind me of all the little newts and lizards running by my feet at WDW.
 
Why not?!

Would be a silly thing to randomly say if it was not true! I really am very very self conscious about both appearance and weight imparticular. This society thats done it to me I suppose, but I have been like that as long as I remember.

Dude, I hear ya...but you are a good looking fellow. Stop worrying about what others think of you and your life will brighten.


Did I just say "fellow"? I apologize. LOL I never say "fellow"... you are a good looking man or guy or dude, whatever you would like to be called.

OK, I'm gonna shut up now.

:lmao:

I was never really taken with the whole wine thing. It could have been that my entire college wine intake consisted of Night-Train, Cisco, and Mad Dog.

Yearly trips to the Epcot F&W Fest have helped. I know I don't tend to like most of the red wines including merlot, and a lot of those cabernets. I do however like the german style white wines like rieslings and gewurztraminers, as well as the sweeter dessert wines made from muscat grapes and stuff like ice wine. Not a big fan of white zinfandel, yet I kinda like the red.

I'm slowly boadening my wine horizons, but it's just not the same as cracking open a good craft brew, eating pizza, and watching a flick. It's the simple things that keep me going ...
 
I'm a red wine girl myself. The drier the better.

And MaleDisneyBeliever? Just remember.. nothing is more attractive than confidence.. and nothing more unattractive than open self loathing.

Just a lil tip from a "chick's" point of view.

MMM I love red wine...and beer...and...I'm gonna stop now. :)

I made an impulse buy at Costco yesterday and bought a bottle of Limoncello. I poured myself a little last night to try it. Oh my god...an alcoholic lemon drop. I had a tiny bit and I was already starting to feel warm inside. Good stuff!
