After lurking around here for a little while, I decided to finally join. It's been quite awhile since I've been a part of a forum because each one I go to seems to eventually become filled with a lot of rude people, but everyone here seems cool. Based on what I've read a lot of people here seem to have the same tastes in movies and television as I do, too.
Anyway, I'm mainly a Fraggle fan, though all of Jim Henson's work is outstanding. I've been watching the show on the Hub and I think I love it more now than I did as a kid. I vaguely remember watching reruns of it on the Disney Channel, as well as Dinosaurs and The Muppet Show, as a little girl in the 90's. For some reason, my clearest memory of the show is Gobo's "The Grapes of Generosity" song from the episode of the same name. What a random thing to remember! For the longest time, I didn't know where the song was from and eventually started believe I'd dreamt it or something until I grew up and discovered the internet.
I recently bought the entire show on DVD and have been watching it on the Hub when work allows it. Stupid job, cutting into my Fraggle time... Wouldn't it be nice to only have a 30 minute work week like the fraggles? I'm halfway through the second season and would like to make some sort of music video tribute once I finish, as I tend to do this for all the shows I become obsessed with. When I make it, I'll be sure to post it on YouTube for anyone interested, considering it doesn't get blocked.
I also love to draw, so maybe I'll attempt some Fraggle Rock art. Other things I like are retro video games, Disney movies and cartoons from its renaissance era, Hayao Miyazaki films, shounen anime, and anything on old-school Cartoon Network. Yes, my life is pretty much based around video games and television. My childhood dream was always to become a storyboard artist, but with the way animated programs are these days, I'm not so sure anymore.
I hope to share some nice conversations with all of you!
