So, I’m new. And I never really know how to write these intro posts and things, so we’ll make this quick and painless.
Who: Dawnfinder What: 23, married, happy, and proud bunny-mom When: January 1st 1988, which means I just celebrated my birthday! Yes, I accept late presents, and I really, really like Swedish Fish. Where: Washington. The state not the capital. Why: Because I’ve always really ejoyed Pixar movies and think this looks like a pretty awesome community!
Hi everyone! I’ve been reading a few posts here before I put my post and you all seem to be a lively bunch. I stumbled upon this site while browsing for Pixar news and updates. I figured what could be a better place to go to than here? So I signed up and here I am!
I’ve been an honored fan and scholar of Pixar since the first full length feature and I devoted my life to becoming an animator for the studio. I’ve studied as much as I could during my first 12 years of school, drawing as much as I can while keeping a C average in school, well I had a few A’s, and B’s, but besides the point I didn’t want real world stuff getting between me and Pixar. After High school I applied to the best colleges there were for animation, but being so poor I had to stick with a community college and then venture off to a better one later. Now after three years of college so far I’ve pumped my brain of so much animation I feel like a cartoon myself! Now I slave away applying to Pixar till I get hired or die trying.
I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you Pixar fans! All of you have great birthdays and high spirits!
Welcome jonnyArTmac, Im sure your like it here, it’s fun. We also need another missourian, Im from a city near St. Louis. I was thinking about how we needed another mossouri member yesterday. I guess I got my wish.
Welcome jonnyArTmac, Dawnfinder, and Scene! You’re al going to love it here Scene- it’s great to see another UK-er around here! I went to Essex last summer on a caravan holiday and I enjoyed it very much
I spent a few days going through the odd threads here and there on the forums before registering, and one thing that I noticed was how friendly and like-minded people were here - so I had to sign up
Welcome Scene! Another UK-er, awesome! And you’re right, PP is like one big family! You’ll like it here.
Hi jonnyArTmac! I met you on another page on the forums! I like how you shared your story, especially about Communit College. I got good grades in high school, but I took the Community College route as well, and it’s the best decision I ever made. I didn’t feel like putting my family in debt 4 years at a University, when I could get my general education done at a CC. Anyways, it’s nice to have an animator here, and I hope you like the forums!
A BIG hello to everyone!
I wanted to start posting right away, but I didn’t want to be rude. I’m an average citizen, so there’s not much of interest to say about myself. I felt inspired to join the board because of a recent trip to DL California Adventure. I really do love the Pixar-ish theme they seem to have given this park. And the Hopper statue rocks.
RandomDrifter: Welcome! I’m glad you loved Disney California Adventure, it’s my favorite Disney park! I like to call it Pixarland, because as you said it has a Pixarishtheme. And most of the stuff are more Pixar related than California related. Did you see World of Color?
Welcome Randomdrifter! I think we might have met some time before yes? (Unless your username is a coincidence).
It’s kind of a shame how Disney treats its workers, because when I went there this summer I too enjoyed myself, and it does indeed seem to have a very Pixarish theme. We even saw the parade and got sprayed with water by CDA marchers.
I’m leaving PP for a while…not sure when I’m coming back. I need to set my priorities straight, and overall the site has become a distraction.
I’ve always felt a little isolated from the community but that doesn’t mean I won’t miss the site. I’ll still be on Twitter/FB, but most likely less active. You can still talk to me there though…
Bryko, I hope you come back soon, but at least you’ll be on twitter and facebook. And I know what you mean about this site being a distraction. Be sure to visit us, you are the most informative one here!
