Mitch - I sent you a PM regarding my absence, and I also said that I will be on here at Thanksgiving and Christmas and will be very briefly on to comment on Episode 6 of Radio Pixar. But yeah, I will be making my return to the boards in the spring.
Bill, oh dude, we will miss you! I hope spring comes soon!
Thanks. The person I hope doesn’t leave is PV . She’s my favorite person on the boards, and I can tell that’s she’s a sweet, talented, and just a great woman.
Oh yeah, treast me, she won’t be leaving anytime soon. She is an essential part of Pixar Planet and if she left, things would just be differrent. We all love her so much don’t we? 
LG, Mitch, GD - Thanks for the welcome back. I really missed you guys. Heh. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" />
Mitch - Ok, I will. I don’t know why I didn’t think about borrowing it earlier. Oh well…
We’ll miss ya’, Bill. But, as you said, priorities are priorities. I should probably do more of the same, heheh. 
Okay, I’ve made a decision regrading my absence, and am gald to announce that I will visit frequently but still take small breaks in between school-related material (work, projects, tests, exams, etc.)
YAY! That is great to hear! At least we know you won’t be gone from us forever!
^^ They are all slackers!!! HAHA J/K
Hey, dudes! I’m baaaaaaaaaack!
But not for long, unfortunately. 
I’m just gonna pop up every now and then, and I’m not gonna post very much. 
I’m still trying to catch up, looks like a lot happened while I was gone! 
But if you wanna know what happened to me while I was gone, read my dA journal.
See ya, dudes!
~Maggie
We miss ya maggie! I hope you are not gon for long. Be back soon.
Maggie - Welcome back, Maggie! I’ve been reading your journal entries, and it’s good to know that you’re still staying in touch. We’ve all been busy, busy, busy! It’s not even funny. 
To everyone (dudes and dudettes):
I’m back, guys!! Woohoo! Yeah! Zip-a-de-doo-da-day! (snigger)
First and foremost, I would like to sincerely apologize to the administrators and moderators for my week-long absence. The cause behind the effect is an immense load of schoolwork, volunteer work, and a job that I recently attained. I am going to do my best to not stay away for this long of a duration again, but if I do disappear it will only be for a day or two.
Again, I apologize for my absence. I hope my neglecting the boards hasn’t been too much of a hassle for you guys. 
So what has the Mitch been doing all this time?
Ahem. Well, let me see…
1. College Coursework - I’ve been attending college for the past few months now, and I am enjoying it immensely. However, the homework happened to pile up on me over the last two weeks, this arising due to the fact that I have a nasty habit of waiting until the very last possible second to do homework. Hence, I get payback… (snigger)
2. Disney Duties - I recently acquired a position at my local Disney Store. Yes, I was geeky enough to apply for a job there. So is the life of an aspiring animator who loves Disney Studios to the point of insanity. (snigger)
3. Volunteering Vets - Not a few weeks back, I finally got accepted as a volunteer at a local veterinary clinic. This was the third time I had applied for the position, but I didn’t get “the call” until recently. It is quite an engaging experience; I have always loved animals, so this gives me a chance to learn more about critters in that particular field of work.
4. Celebrity…Sightings? - Well, this isn’t really that relevant to the topic of discussion, but I just may get a chance to meet Mitchel Musso in due time. Who is this dude? He’s the guy who plays the part of Oliver Oken on the Disney Channel original show, Hannah Montana. Kinda cool, huh? The dude sounds like a nice guy, so it’d be nice to meet him. Don’t expect any pictures though, and I’m not getting any autographs either.
Yep. Soooo, that’s pretty much it! A day in the life of Mitch goes on, and I missed you guys during that time! hugs everybody
Oh! If any of you are wondering, Kirby, my black-hooded rat, is doing just fine. I absolutely love the little fuzzball. He has the cutest personality – I call him the little joker. (snigger)
Again, I apologize to all of you for staying away for so long. It was unaccounted for and was disrespectful to both you members and the administrators and moderators. I have been neglecting my moderation duties, which is inappropriate and is something that should not go unnoticed. Please hit me if you wish, Dash and PV. I deserve it. Heh.
It’s so nice to see you all again! 
hugs
– Mitch
P.S./Edit: I am making it a point to [b]not[/b] see Ratatouille in theaters anymore. Twenty-five times was more than enough, and I am thoroughly convinced that if I see it one more time I will get sick of it. I do await that DVD, though…!
The film itself has literally become a part of my life…in that it both influenced and motivated me to go on…and keep going without stopping, no matter what the circumstances. My determination to walk through those doors of Pixar has reached a climactic point, and I’m not going to let anything stop me! God is going to get me there; I am sure of it…
Heh, Welcome back Mitch!
Trust me when you’re gone, it’s noticed…
Looks like you’ve got a lotta catchin’ up to do eh?
BTW, check your PM’s
Aww. Well, thank you, Pixfan! I missed you guys, too.
The heck I do! It’s not even funny… laughs
I’ll make sure to check those PMs soon.
– Mitch
Ditto. And when you’re back, it’s noticed. All the topics are now active again! you know, the yello exclamation point thingy,
JesusFreak - Haha! Yes, the topics are now active again. (snigger)
I am going to make it a point to keep the forums in check from now on, so if I do disappear it will only be for two days at the most, as I previously stated.
Again, sorry for the “delay”/absence, guys. I shan’t happen again, and if it does…then kick me.
– Mitch
