Introduce/Reintroduce Yourself

Hi everyone!

Amanda, 29, just married last month, (yay legal marriage!) long-time lurker. Just thought I'd chime in and say hello - have really enjoyed reading threads here over the last year or so.
 
Hi All...
My partner and Kevin and I will be arriving at Port Orleans Riverside May 1st! We both can't wait. It's been a couple of years since we've both visited the Mouse. (Last time being on the Disney Magic in 2007). We hail from Rhode Island, the only New England state that has yet to vote YES on gay marriage but don't even get me going on that one.
Anyways..been wanting to say 'hello' to you all.!

Aaaaaaah - honey :rolleyes1 Maine shot it down. :headache:
 

I've been a lurker around the DIS for quite a while and finally took the plunge.

I am a lesbian single mom by choice with two little ones -- 4 and 6 years old.

We live in Bradenton on the beautiful Gulf Coast of FL, and make 2 overnight trips / year to the World. April 21-22 at the Poly to celebrate my 42nd b-day-- hooray! My mom almost always comes with us on our trips.

Nice to finally "meet" all of you!! :goodvibes

Hey everyone! I guess I'm reintroducing myself here since I haven't been on here much since Gay Days 2009. I'm the type who likes to focus on things. Guess that's why I was on here so much before my trip. It was my focus. After Gay Days last year my focus was finding a new car since my lease was ending. My time I'd spend on these boards was replaced with doing research and reading discussions on car boards. In the end I ended up getting the car I had been lusting after since I first saw spy shots of it, an 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD. I love it, just wish I could enjoy it more.

After that I renewed my interest in World of Warcraft. I hadn't played much with all my Disney planning and then car shopping. As anyone who's played WoW can attest, it can really suck away the time. My friends and I ended up leaving our big raiding guild and going back to our small guild that contained our alts. I was enjoying leveling my alts and then doing 5-mans with my friends. We started getting the itch to raid and were closing to having enough for 10-man's. We did Ulduar-10 a couple times with the help of some friends from our former raiding guild. But just as we got some people back others stopped playing. So again I focused on leveling alts. Now with 7 level 80 toons the game is becoming stale. Every night it's the same thing, running random heroics. It may be different toons with different abilities but it's the same thing. So I started leveling my 35 pally (now 40) and 49 shammy (now 60). I see my play time reducing for a while. I'll be anxiously awaiting the release of Cataclysm.

Another focus I had was deciding to get a new computer. The release of Windows 7 and it's support for touch, I started to itch for a new computer. I recalled my days of having a TabletPC and thought that it might be time to see what's new. I also started seeing the touch-enabled all-in-one's like HP's TouchSmart line. I liked the look and features but not the power. If I was to get a new computer I also wanted it to be a new gaming machine. Then Dell announced their touch-enabled monitor. With it I could hook it up to any computer and have the touch features I wanted along with the power. I then looked at building a computer, something I've done before. But the savings weren't really there. I ended up getting 2 computers, an HP and one from iBuyPower. I tried them both and ended up returning the HP. It's funny that touch was what got me thinking about a new computer, yet I hardly use it. I still need to finish getting things like my music loaded on it. Maybe then I'll use it more. But it's been a great gaming machine.

Only real change in my life since last year is I'm no longer working 2 jobs. It was really taking its toll on me and with my credit cards paid off I decided to regain some free time.

So that's what's been going on with me. Not much really LoL. I have missed this board and the witty banter :)
 
Hello! I'm new around here. I posted a thread about my first trip to WDW in May. I won't bother reiterating it here. :)

I'm a 24 year old University student from Saskatchewan, Canada. I'll be graduating this June with a 4 year Computer Science BSc. I have been dating my wonderful boyfriend for close to a year now. Being the nerds we are I actually met him via Twitter. I follow a lot of local people and he was one of them. We met up for coffee one day and here we are going to WDW one year later.

When I am not programming software or web programs I am playing Lord of the Rings Online and leading the Kinship I created three years ago. Music is a huge interest for me. Recently started practicing my DJ skills and listening to Lady Gaga over and over. Also a big Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Buffy fan.

When I am NOT doing either of those I am planning my trip with my boyfriend to WDW in May. Also planning my month long adventure to Japan in June with one of my closest friends. And keeping my eye out for cheap flights to Vegas in August.

I'm very excited to be here and look forward to getting to know a lot of you!
 
oooh WoW! I'm on Alleria since I was thrown on there back when the game was just out. I've got like 8 80s and 1 soon to be (66).

Anyways hey everyone. You've probably noticed me posting around late at night. I just got accepted to the Disney World College Program and thought I'd check this section of the boards out. I'll be part of the greater Orlando area come this August!
