Naturally, since I'm bored, I'll go first.

• This should keep up some interesting discussion
  
  
  What's your real name? Just call me Demmie, everyone does (although some of you know my "real" name).. besides that's what's on my Stitch GoH pin, so I'm sticking to it!

  What are your hobbies? Underwater basket weaving, building lemur colonies, and occasionally costuming at Renaissance Faires and comic/sci-horror conventions :)
  What kind of car do you drive? An imaginary one since I don't drive. Am phobic *twitch*

  DVC/AP/Fl resident/Seasonal passholder/etc.? Just a lowly little Florida Resident
  Do you have a Disney confession (you sleep with your Pal Mickey/you wear your ears in the car/etc.)? Hm, I do wear my Minnie ears around the house at times. I also have my beloved Scrump next to my computer. I like to play with him/her.
  How many DC members have you met in person? None.. yet. I can't, though. They'd hate me and have to have me locked up. Careful what ya wish for...
  What is your favorite Disney movie and Why? Tough call. POTC counts I'm sure. I love that A. because Johnny Deep is brilliant and B. I'm a renfest freak. Tron too, because I was a computer geek back in the day and the effects were GREAT then. But animated? Can't name just one: Aladdin/Hercules/Fantasia/Stitch/The Aristocats/ Robin Hood/The Incredibles/Mickey’s House Of Villains/Monsters, Inc./The Nightmare Before Christmas... you get the idea. Okay just ONE? Non-animated: POTC. Animated: Lilo & Stitch
  Who is your favorite Disney princess and Why?I think Aurora is the prettiest but for spunk factor alone, I gotta say Jasmine, since Meg isn't a "princess" nor is Tinkerbell
  Who is your favorite Disney villain and Why? Chernabog (because he's HUGE and menacing and just EVEEIIILL), Evil Queen (I think I told you guys why in my MGM "NEXT!!" story), Maleficent (just fave from childhood), Hades (because I love his humor), Jafar (snotty. LOVE IT)... in that order
  Who is your favorite Disney sidekick and Why? Tinkerbell. Because she's a spoiled BRAT!

  "No Touchy!"
  "This is your badness level. It's unusually high for someone your size"
  "Meega Nala Keesta!"
  "Punch Buggy"
  "Have your minions call my minions. "
  "Oh, there's a big surprise. That's an incredible... I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die, from NOT SURPRISED!"
  "My friends need to be punished. "
  
  You get the idea. I could go on all day.
  
  
  What is your favorite Disney sequel and Why?Toy Story 2. It's the Only one I liked
  What Disney character can you relate to the most/are the most like?Robio says I'm like Lilo, but I like to think of myself as a healthy mix between Tinkerbell (spoiled), Stitch (twitchy and "not right"), and the Evil Queen (sadistic)
  Have you ever named a child/pet after a Disney character? One of our bunnies is named Boo, and our dog is named Miko (respelling of Meeko, in Japanese it means huntress, and she looks like a raccoon)
  What's your first Disney-related memory? I saw Bambi at the drive-in as a small child. Disney PARK? My first time seeing the castle in 1995. Just pure amazement.
  On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your Disney obsession? I'd actually say a 7.

[lopo]

Well, Demmie, I can tell your profession ("Biostatistician") influenced your survey: how many . . . what percentage . . . on a scale of 1-10 . . .

I agree with Tigger, though. This one is way to long for me to complete (esp. on a Saturday night when my thought processes are in restful mode!)

But, I enjoyed reading all of the replies (even Tigger's shorter version.) Suffice to say that I am one of the senior members of DC.

I agree with Tigger, though. This one is way to long for me to complete (esp. on a Saturday night when my thought processes are in restful mode!)

But, I enjoyed reading all of the replies (even Tigger's shorter version.) Suffice to say that I am one of the senior members of DC.

I was joking about the occupation. Actually I saw part of this on a site and part of this from emails and a lot of it I was curious about anyways.

Yanno, if it's too long, you can go back, read about people and just comment on stuff they said :) (I'm going to do that in a bit when I catch up on other stuff :) )That alone could keep this thread going for a long time.

and heck, it's good when you're like me and wide awake at 5 am and bored.

[lovemysons]

This was a great idea, however, I too, am in restful mode. It is Sat. night and dad is putting the little ones to bed. But I did like reading everybody's posts. I, too, am older than most of you, but young in my heart. Erin, you amaze me! You are a full time mom & a full time student?? How do you do that??? Must be the goat thing. Gives you super powers or something. I love the preshow for the muppets, I can't name a favorite attraction because most of them are my favorites!! I am absolutely nuts about the parades and the fireworks, and even if I didn't get on one ride, and just saw the parades and fireworks, I would still be in heaven. My guilty pleasures are surfing the net late at night, and eating soft serve ice cream. I was a teacher before my oldest was born.I absolutely love being a mom, and I am also nuts about our pets. (German shepherd mix and a lab mix, and one very peculiar guinea pig, and some very resilient fish)
