TDIT: When I can actually pull my thoughts, feelings and emotions all together after experiencing the amazingness that is HtTYD, I’ll write up a nice review over in its designated thread. For now, let’s just say I loved it a little bit more than I ever thought I would. <3
Mood: Excited and anxious once and again
Reason: I’m going to see How to Train Your Dragon AGAIN tonight. Yeah, I saw it last night, and I’m seeing it again the night after. Twice in a row.
Need I say more?

Mood: Super Excited and Astounded!
Reason: Just saw Astro Boy on DVD today. It was a really awesome movie and totally action-packed! But what had me hooked was the intro to the movie; [spoil]it sounded just like what happened with BnL and the Axiom 
– I’m not making this up![/spoil]
Also, I finished a new piece involving Wallace Cooper and Evelyn McCrea. Hope to upload it to my gallery tomorrow. 
Hello everyone,
I would just like to apologize to all of you for experiencing a recent bout of depression… of which I posted about in this thread. Part of it was self-deprivation that I’ve kept bottled up for years on end, and the other half was due to a… monthly female symptom that I don’t particularly care for. Please understand me in that I did not post it up in order to garner attention, but to “let loose some steam”, as it were. Nevertheless, it was uncalled for.
That aside, I sincerely appreciate the support that those of you who responded to my message gave me, those being red, lizardgirl, and thedriveintheatre. I am terribly sorry for pouring all of that out on you guys… and on everyone here on Pixar Planet. Your kindness to me is… very touching.
On a final note, and just to clear the air, I would like to let everyone know that I am doing much better now. In a nutshell, I am striving to be more positive, and, so far, it seems to be working! Seriously, I’ve never been this up-and-up before. I’m loving it!!
red - Just to let you know, I did read your note several days ago and, although I have not replied to it yet, I want to say that you’re one of the sweetest friends I’ve ever had. Your support means more to me than you could ever know. hugs
You know my secret?! gasp
Ha-ha. I’m kidding. That was a good one, thedriveintheatre!

Mood: Annoyed
Reason: I’m tired of all the controversy that went down on the site today. I tried to stay out of it for the most part (I did step in a bit on Twitter), but overall it didn’t impress me at all. 
I’m fine with these issues being discussed on the site in a civilized manner, but it did almost get to a level of personal attacks and flame wars. Hopefully things clear up in the morning…
Bryko614 I could not possibly agree with you more, with both emotion and reasoning.
As most of you are aware the “Pan Pan Man” (Thanks TDIT) is a student teacher who is specialising in Primary education (Ages 3-11) and recently been on a 8 week practise learning my future career (Come on my chances of an acting career are dead- and those of a voice artist too) by doing my future career… I return to my haven after a rather rocky journey to find members acting in a manner which is worse than those which I teach.
I joined this forum and community to share my love and passion for a studio, for the individuals who make the impossible- possible, for people like you and I who bring stories to life, making great friends (you know who you are) in the process. But today I feel that Captain Pan was Mr Pan, my career and my alter ego like Superman and Clark Kent, Batman and Bruce Wayne, has done something both Bruce and Clark were able to avoid and that is become one. And for this reason I have decided to hang up my cape, my desguise and my account.
Mood Depressed
Reason I’m simply leaving.
Goodbye- Farewell- Captain Pan thanks you, and finally signs off.
General Notice: What has recently occurred on the boards (in regards to controversial issues) is something that the moderators of Pixar Planet, including myself, are working on resolving. Although debate is most certainly welcome here on the boards, heated discussion (that rises to an extreme level) and immature debate is always closely monitored and attended to. When things get out of hand, we, as moderators, do our best to calm down unnecessary activity. I speak for myself in that I sincerely apologize to all of our members if anyone has been offended in any way by some recent debate that has surfaced. There are various topics of debate that I do not particularly like to engage in or prefer to see arise here on the site, as they often become fraught with strife. In any case, we are working on resolving the issue and I, as a moderator, apologize to everyone for the trouble that has recently occurred.

Mood: bored and kinda shocked
Reason: Just a boring weekend. I try to make plans with friends and everybody is busy. Maybe it’s because the week was so action packed for me that the weekend just failed in comparison. And of course, some of the new threads that came up today were a little… new I did see Date Night today though, great movie 
little_chef: Wow, a repeat visit? Though I can’t blame you, this is probably the only Dreamworks film that I feel like seeing again (and although Kung Fu Panda was fun, I felt it didn’t deserve a second theatrical visit).
JSWeC: I love the Astro Boy movie! It’s in my Top Ten for 2009, for sure. Much better than I expected, and a relatively faithful adaptation. I saw it in the airplane, but I wish I supported it in cinemas after such a lacklustre B.O. receipt. My favourite characters were the Robot Liberation Front and the window cleaner duo.
Mitch: You don’t have to apologize for anything. As long as you didn’t provoke or upset anyone, and you’re feel much better, it’s okay to share your feelings, good or bad. Sometimes we just need some form of emotional release to get through life, be it a diary entry, a dA journal, or a post on a fan community board. So don’t sweat it, everything will work out in the end!
Captain Pan: If I could, I would rather you not leave. You’re a great bloke, and have made this forum all the more better. I mean it. But if you have to, I won’t stop you. I do understand the ‘double life’-feeling, there were many times I wanted to leave, due to other commitments, parental restrictions, or just pure lack of interest in between film releases. We will miss you, though. Good luck in all your future endeavours, and if you do so choose to return, you’re always welcome…
…
Mood: Shocked, and Excited
I was going to originally post how excited I am to be seeing Kick-*ss on a last-minute call from my friends tonight, but after recent tumultous events, I’m just stunned. PP has been through many ‘crises’, but this has to be its most devastating yet, after the forced eviction and voluntary departure of two members. I’m sure we’ll all pull through in the end though…
So I’m going to put on my ‘Sunday clothes’ and look forward to a great night out with my buds at the movies. And tomorrow will be a brand new day.
JSWC: Aww, I love AstroBoy, too! I saw it a while back and was kinda mneh about it at first cuz honestly, it sounded like a really stupid movie - but I was pleasantly surprised! (And strangely, way more emotional than I expected.) We got it on DVD and Blu-Ray for my sister’s birthday, and my brothers love it, too.
Mitch: Aww, it’s so good to hear you’re doing a lot better. Yeah, and I know what “that time of the month” is like - absolutely everything is just awful, and your moods are everywhere, and it’s just a mess. And it’s perfectly fine to let off some steam, sometimes it just needs to happen; to vent your feelings to someone else always feels good, and at least here, you have a circle of caring friends who will listen and respond accordingly.
Awww, Mitch… I’m so glad you think that highly of my friendship, really, I feel like I don’t deserve all these nice things you’ve said about me. I’m just glad I was able to help, and you know if you ever need anything you can just let me know.

Current mood: Mixed
Reason: I too am quite disappointed about everything that happened yesterday - it wasn’t good for the rep of these family-friendly boards, and it wasn’t good for the members who happened to get caught in the crossfire, including myself. I stepped in to try and cool things down, but obviously they were far beyond my reach so I stepped out of it and said, “Well, hopefully a mod will get these things under control here soon enough.” Unfortunately, it had to go as far as banned members and members leaving by the time everything was over. 
Hopefully, it will serve as a lesson to other members and set the standard for how members should conduct themselves on these boards.
Anywhoo, with that aside, I’m also glad to see that my best friend Mitch has recovered from her slight depression - it always puts me in a good mood when she’s in a good mood.
I have a lot to do today but I’m hoping to try and sneak in another viewing of HtTYD somewhere in this week’s schedule. Yes, TDIT, I actually found it worthy of a second viewing, and gosh darn it I’ll see it again if I get the slightest chance!
little chef
thedriveintheatre - Gee, thank you very much! I know I shouldn’t feel bad about venting, but I always see it as something of a “disservice” to my friends. Still, thank you very much for the support. I really appreciate it.
red - Yeah, that night wasn’t a fun one. Ah, those wonderful female symptoms. They don’t make things any easier, although it did help to motivate me to be more productive, as I got fed up with myself for being so lazy all of the time. 
Cha. I know it’s good to not bottle up one’s feelings, but I always feel horrible every time I pour out my emotions upon my friends, since I don’t want to come off as rude and self-centered (which is why I hardly ever talk about this stuff to my friends). However, it’s not easy being upbeat all of the time, hence the bout of depression, but I’m working on being more positive these days. And, believe me, without you guys, my life wouldn’t be as pleasant. You all are the best!
Oh, but of course! If there’s one thing that I don’t take for granted, it is friendship. I value it very highly. My friends mean more to me than they could possible know, you included.
Really?! Ha-ha. Gee… That’s… pretty flattering, actually. Well, I’m glad that I could help to make you happy! I should be positive more often! (snigger)
Current Mood - Rather tired, but content.
Reason - Yesterday was rather hectic for me, what with the arousal of trouble on Pixar Planet, but pretty much everything has been sorted out now, so hopefully activity will be calm and back to normal soon enough.
Additionally, I must thank all of my friends here on Pixar Planet and elsewhere for extending their unconditional support to me. It’s more than I deserve, and I appreciate them more than they could ever imagine.
– Mitch
Mood: Tired and hungry
Reason: I was up until 12:00 last night and haven’t eaten since 11:30 this morning. 
[/spoil]
Shhh… I shouldn’t be around here… However I may have felt yesterday… there are too many friends to leave here in the lurch should I permanently vacate for evil must be vanquished… for what would the planet be like without Captain James Hook… er… wait wrong name… Captain Pan.
I’ve had to dig deep today, and with the help of a hamster, Pixar’s great publicity team and then some people here (there are too many to name, but they all know who they are) who have taIked and listen to me speak ever so freely about my thoughts and feelings have decided to hold off my exit… for now…
And I return with some help from the one person I have always counted as a friend… for he has always reminded me to Reach for the Sky, and that I was his favourite deputy…
For I am like woody…
Whilst for him
For me
Mood: joyous
Reason; Your not getting rid of me that quickly or easily. The Captain is here for infinity and beyond
Mood: Nervous and confused
Reason: I’m trying to find out what’s wrong with my throat. It’s hard to swallow and it feels swollen. And I don’t understand half of what the website is saying about it.(and it’s really disgusting!) I don’t want to go to the docter!
Captain Pan: I’m very glad you’ve chosen to stay. There will probably come a time when we will no longer log-in to this forum, at some point or other. But the memories, good and bad, will remain. You never truly leave this place. But until then, hopefully there will be many more fantastic days to come.
Current Mood: Mad as heck
There’s a freakin’ huge housefly buzzing around our apartment. And this bugger’s so big, it actually makes noises when it collides with the walls. My parents are currently debating whether to spray or swat it. I hate flies. I know they help in the recycling of Earth’s organic matter and all that, but I just despise them with a vengeance.
Glad to hear that you’re sticking around, Captain Pan. The boards wouldn’t be quite the same without you.
I’m sad to hear about what happened on Pixar Planet recently and what it had to come to, but it seems to have been resolved for now, which I’m very relieved to hear.
Mood: P.Oed
Reason: I got my phone taken from me at school and then the next period, all the idiots in that class (BTW, it was gym 
) wouldn’t stop talking about it and it made so angry. I was actually shaking with anger! 
This is what I wanted to do to them: 
just not with a smile on my face. And then in seventh period, they all of a sudden started talking about it like I wasn’t there. Pardon my French, but WTF??? It just made me so angry.
What? What did I miss?
Current Mood: Scared
So I was just cursing on my computer on my computer and just now I looked at the computer clock (which is right) and it said 8:38! I haven’t done my homework! And American Idol is on in like, a half hour! As soon as I’m done with my dinner, I’m gonna get to it!
frustrated: Twilight is majorly overrated and all my friends talk about
Mood: Relieved.
Reason: Well, I flew back home yesterday, and today a volcano in Iceland errupted, meaning that all flights into and out of the UK are cancelled. That was a close one!
Mood: Amazed. I just saw the most magnificent thing ever last night. A meteor flew right over my neighborhood!!
A traffic cam in the Capital caught it on tape. I put it on my FB profile
facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/vid … 468&ref=mf
the view was even better there, than where I live.
