Pardon my lightening up the mood, but as I told Mason on his birthday, "Congratulations. Now people can no longer dismiss you as a teenager who doesn't know what he's talking about. Now they will dismiss you as a grown man who still doesn't know what he's talking about. You can tell me the same in less than two years."
There will never be a Disney channel sitcom to top Lizzie McGuire, in my opinion. Now, I speak as a biased person, to be sure. In my middle school years, particularly in the year 2002, my fandoms consisted of:
- Cinderella, Cinderella II, and anything else canon to Disney's Cinderella
- Lizzie McGuire
- & Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat
One of the reasons I loved Lizzie was because it featured a quirky but normal modern girl with an animated self. I could relate, of course. I loved how the animated Lizzie always said what the live-action Lizzie wanted to, or acted like how the live-action Lizzie felt.
I took to doodling Lady Prudence in my school notebooks, expressing how I really felt about things. Mostly, Prudence ended up making fun of a lot of my assignments, particularly my art assignments.
Years and years later, I received a call from my middle school art teacher. She had gone through her storage and found my art notebook. Behold, emocations and script format shall explain the rest of the story!
"Here you go! I read it! =D"
"You... read it? D="
"Yes! =D"
"Oh, I'm s - "
"You're very creative! =D"
"-__- Thank you."
"=D"
I don't think I ever want to run into that woman again! She read far too much, and most of it was jabs at her! I have no idea if her smiling was out of actual happiness or something else.
Bring forth the babble!

I just read that Corbin Bleu's next album might not come out until February 2009, and his upcoming (non-Disney) movie might not come out until January or February. And I'm on the verge of tears. I'm very heartbroken by this.
This probably isn't a normal reaction to this news. My wallet I'm sure is happy, but I'm saddened. I have been looking forward to these for the longest time. At least HSM3 is coming out in October!

I feel sick.
For three years I played VMK. I can easily give that up. It was a game I was once addicted to that I slowly grew out of. As you guys know it closed. Well, just a few months after I discovered the game, I discovered a forum dedicated to it, and my first forum ever. Without that forum I never would have joined UD. Well, when VMK announced it was closing, that forum announced it would be closing June 1st. My world just stopped for a second. I'm not one to be depressed, I'm a very cheerful, optimistic person. I do feel, though, sick. Not sick-sick, but queasy stomach sick. The reason I'm sick today is because it actually closed just an hour ago. I didn't share any contacts with my friends... I just didn't want to think it would end. The sad thing is, I always thought that one day, when I'm old and want to reflect on my earlier years, I could always log onto that website. Unrealistic, I know, but I still believed it. And now, I feel I wasted a portion of my life typing. And yet I can't, and won't accept that as true. I think of the memories I had, the friends I made. I never met them in life... but I met them in a game and on a forum.
I have a knack for being optimistic. People joked that I was always thinking ahead (for instance I made a thread about Easter in December). So I'm dreaming that if I become successful in writing and acting, and I one day write a memoir of my past, I can assure you that VMK and my VMK forum will be a big part of it.
And thank you for reading my post. Writing that makes me feel so much better now.

Aww, UmbrellaFish! Maybe another forum about VMK will open, and members from the old forum will join...?
Or you could Google some members' usernames and see if they are members of other forums, and try to get their contact information?
It's understandable, being sad about a forum closing- if UD ever closed, I'd be devastated! At least you have UD...I know that it's not the same as the other forum, but at least you have UD...

I need a job. I'm so frustrated, it's horrible. I just applied online to a hotel front desk position (my friend works for this hotel, but in Massachusetts, and she gave me the link), but it says that if they want you, they'll call you. I'm thinking of just driving there and bringing my resume, but I have no relevant experience.
The phone ringing woke me up this morning- it was a staffing company that I had had an interview with once, but I assumed that I didn't get the job. I picked up just as they were hanging up, I guess, and they haven't called me back, so I should call them back and see what they wanted. Also, I just emailed a guy I had an interview with a week or so ago, asking if he has filled the position or knows when he will...I didn't feel like getting rejected live, over the phone, so I figured that email would be better, in case they already filled the position.
Bobby said that we are okay, money-wise (he has previously said that he wants me to be picky in finding a job, and not just take anything), but I know that we need the money, and I want a job, I think. It's just frustrating getting rejected. And the job market sucks. I'm sure that I've ranted about this before, but I'm just beyond frustrated at this point. So many jobs require years of experience or for you to be bilingual. Sorry that I had Spanish for 6 years and can't speak it...! Ugh! I need a job.

There's a new substitute for VMK called VFK (Virtual Family Kingdom). The graphics are okay, but it loses the special quality of having Disney characters roaming around. Newer users to the forum created VFK forums. I didn't know the newer users very well because when they joined, most of the veteran players (meaning myself and my friends) were starting to tire of VMK. That's when I joined UD.
Anyway, I came back at the beginning of the year, but a lot of us didn't. It's funny to think how well connected we were. One couple actually got engaged. I don't know if anyone knew they were seeing each other until they announced it.
We called ourselves the "Ohana" (we had many Stitch fans), and I'll remember that, too. But you're right, I still have UD. And I must admit I doubt a moment will ever come when I'm disintrested in Disney news and releases.
BTW, Amy, you must be having a much worse time than I am. I do hope you can find a job really soon.

Thanks, UF...it's not a bad time, per se, just frustrating. I got a reply from the guy I emailed, and he said he'll let me know Friday if I do(and maybe even if I don't) get the job, and he said thanks for the thank you card I sent.
So, if I don't get that job, then I'll be even more frustrated. But I did just apply to another job, and I think my answers on the questionnaire they had were pretty good...

I'm in a rut it seems, the last 3 months have been so repetitive for me. I've just recently started changing my sleeping habits into a better one, but I've found that while it's nice having a normal habit for sleep, that I can't keep myself occupied during the daytime because I have all these "extra" hours on my hands. So I'm really not sure what to do anymore I have different projects I want to work on but lack the motivation right now, so it's not like I have nothing at all to do, it's just that darn motivation keeps hiding on me 
Hopefully this rut has an end though

Shawn, now you have more time for UD! Or YouTube! Or Wikipedia! Or RetroJunk! Or People.com's archives! With the Internet, how can you have trouble occupying yourself!!??!! 
Apparently you have more of a life than I do, and I hope that you do find good, satisfying ways to spend your time!
My babble is...
Jonas Brothers are having a summer tour. They had not released any Florida dates, but I figured that they must be coming to Florida, since it's a big state. I check tommy2.net every morning. Lo and behold, JB are coming to Tampa! September 4th. A Thursday. Hopefully I'll have a job by September. Maybe they'll let me take a personal day on the 5th, because Tampa is far away- well, an hour and a half, but I wouldn't be getting home until at least 1-something in the morning. I do have friends I could stay with near Tampa, who I'd hopefully go to the concert with. But I'd really need a personal day then, because I'd have to wake up rediculously early to get to work the next day. And, to make matters "worse", I'll have to dip into my Disneyland savings fund to pay for a concert ticket, because, thanks to me buying an mp3 player last week, I only have $6.44 or something until Friday. Tickets go on sale for fan club members on Tuesday, and I guess on Friday for non-fan club members. I still won't have enough on Friday (I'll get about $10 extra), and part of that $16.44 or so will be spent on the "Camp Rock" soundtrack, and the rest will be saved for my "Wall-e" ticket and Vanessa Hudgens' CD. I do hope that whatever job I have in September, if I even have a job then, will let me take a personal day or a sick day. I usually do get sick at concerts, although when I saw Corbin at this same ampitheater last year, I did not get sick. I miss Corbin...I'm just blabbing now, but I guess that that's what this thread is for, huh? I mean, I know that it's really for "babble", but "blabbing" is like babble's cousin.
Also, I had a job interview a week or 2 ago. I contacted the guy I interviewed with a few days ago, and asked him if he had chosen someone to hire, and he said that he'd let me know "by the end of the week". That sounded to me like, regardless of whether or not I actually got the position, that I'd be contacted. Not true. I almost feel like emailing him back, letting him know that I'd rather not work for a company who lies, anyway, but that wouldn't be the best thing to do. I do have another job interview on Monday. Job interviews are so not my thing.

I cried today. More than once. I'm just blah. I think part of it is that I'm homesick. Part of it is that if I could go back in time and redo things, I would. All the way back to elementary school even.
I never really had a plan for my life, so I can't say whether or not my life has gone according to plan...that's my problem- I have no plan. I was supposed to continue my job search today, but I didn't. I never get hired, anyway. That's how sour I am about job hunting. I don't even know what I want to do, and what I want to do is near impossible, anyway. I'm just blah and it kind of sucks.
I called one of my best friends, and when I was calling, I figured that she's probably at work. She didn't answer, so that's probably true. And my other best friend...she's actually probably at work, too, but I didn't call her...dunno why.
There are very few people I can really share my feelings with...I don't plan on telling Bobby that I cried today...or about my feelings. That's probably not healthy, but I'm okay with that, I guess. Now I really just am blabbing....
But, I am so excited for WALL-E!!! And the Bolt trailer!!!

my babble:
My dog died last Sunday, after almost 14 years of sharing more than half my life...
Paola ask me for some time alone(perhaps a month) so also it will be like being single again
I'm feeling disappointed of my career...so I think I'll change
yes...this are some "terrific" vacations for me...

thanks Blackcauldron and PPF, Ive done some research and it seems that how Laika...well...left has happened to more than I.
It seems like a new kind of cancer that usually destroy their spleen followed by an internal hemorrhage ...or in the worst cases, the tumor travel to the brain where it provokes several damage, hallucination, epileptic attacks and eventually death...
