I have no idea if any of you folks who are left here remember who I am. I am JimmyDean5995(or NinjagoGeekMan, or JabbathePig), an old LMB user. I don’t know if I was before y’alls time or not. I somehow found my way back here while trying to fall asleep and was shocked to see that there were people still active. I just wanted to let y’all know that I still think of y’all, regardless if you know me or not. Hope this wasn’t too sappy. I’m going to try to fall asleep now.
While I don't recognize your username, your message makes me very happy and I do hope you're doing well. Sleep well.
About seven years ago, you and I met while I was still in my not-like-other-girls phase, where I wanted to reject anything slightly girly and stereotypically feminine, and at the time I sometimes had a hard time relating to your love for the classic Disney movies.
Last week I gave a ten-minute presentation at an undergraduate conference about the psychosocial effect of the classic Disney Princess films on children, where I argued for the positive and uplifting influence of Disney Princesses. The judges seemed engaged and complimented my argument and presentation.
I thought of you and missed you. I made that presentation partly because of you. I really hope you're doing well and thriving where you are.
That would indeed be a drawback. As it is, only certain plant pollen affects me.
Well hey then, that's perfect! Not sure he'll be able to lift the heavy decorations though, as they're usually the ones that go near the bottom of the tree.
Rather some than all, but better none.
So far we haven't acquired many heavy ones, but I can only assume our collection is just getting started.
Indeed, but one must live with it. Oh yeah, you're trees about to look like a strangely-shaped sombrero.
Oh definitely, plenty of hidden gems in the classic movie world.
Sounds about right. I'll definitely look into it, heard a lot of good stuff about those movies. Oh there's a third movie coming? I'm more out of the loop than I'd realized.
If I can just convince myself to watch them. Minus the cult classics I haven't seen much from before the year 2000.
They're fantastic, really changed the animation genre. Yeah, it was supposed to be coming out here soon but then it got delayed due to the strikes. I don't know how they were ever gonna make the original deadline, those movies seem like they'd take forever to make.
Pfff, the only movies released before the year 2000 were the Star Wars trilogy.
It's definitely one of the more unique takes on animation, the combination of 2d and 3d works surprisingly well! Yeah, maybe they were planning to snatch a few animators from other companies.
Yeah, I guess we kind of need it for survival but it doesn't feel like our bodies are fighting fair in those cases.
Yeah there's just enough perks to adulthood to keep us all from constantly longing to go back.
Honestly though. xP
Yeah, taxes and job interviews and paperwork suck and the life and soul out of me, but at least I can watch YouTube for as long as I want and eat cookies whenever I want!
Precisely! Every stage of life has its pros and cons, adulthood just has very different joys than childhood, ones we wouldn't have understood then, like having a towel that matches your bathroom's aesthetic or a fridge stocked with food you got to pick out.
Even the most entertaining of circumstances can be reduced to a yawn by the application of journalism.
It is, but it CONplements those colors well from what I remember. Can't say I paid too much attention to the Friends sets...
I could get one of my friends to report it. She's trying to get a journalism-related job and did an internship in DC last year.
You seem like such a LEGO Friends type, though
I got a peek into the journalism side of things with my writing minor and I skittered away. I do appreciate a well-written news article now though, which even I find odd.
The minidoll avatars randomly happening to people on the MBs was like my worst nightmare.
