Hi there..

So, someone actually wants to know me, eh? Well ok you nosey person. I'm a child of the 80's and currently reside in Arkansas, USA.

Hobbies of mine include drawing, driving, being active and getting to the gym when I can. Building fursuits also, however that's more of how I make my living. :) Not a huge huge Lion King item collector these days, but I do like to find new/rare things and trade some stuff off on occasions. I enjoy listening to music.. I don't think I could live without it! I listen to rock, metal, alternative.. stuff like that. I'm not too picky about what I listen to, as long as it's not crap. Some soft stuff's good once in a while too. I also love animals, my faves being wolves and big cats.

Jobwise I own a local in-home pet sitting company, resell various estate   auctions goods, and I still freelance as an artist and fursuit piece maker.

So what's with me and The Lion King, anyway?

The Lion King became my all-time favorite movie before I even saw it. I know that sounds weird... but it's true. I only saw a few previews on TV before I was hooked and immediately started searching out LK merhcandise. Believe it or not, I never even had a chance to see the movie in theaters until it was released in IMAX in 2002!

After I saw the movie for the first time, I was covered in tears- both sad for Scar's pitiful demise and happy for Simba's powerful triumph. I was frozen in awe, and sat there, literally shaking, as the ending credits rolled by.

Why? Probably a combnation of the awesome music, the breathtaking art, the powerful plot and the meaningful story behind it... or maybe because I'm just a really sensitive person and a sucker for aesthetically pleasing, animated animal films. The music did play a big part. It was very deep and moving, even for a person like me who'd rather listen to the more heavy stuff. The music gave the scenes just the right amount of feeling they needed to cause such dramatic impressions (even finding myself bopping my head along to the silly antics of I Just can't Wait to be King ;). I really enjoyed the animation, the art.. the characters and the wide variety of personalities they each had. Need I mention Scar with his awesome character design.
