Hi there..
So, someone actually wants to know me, eh? Well ok you nosey person. I currently reside in Arkansas. I'm 24 and recently married. :) Just bought a house and all.. and driving my orange Mazda3.
Hobbies of mine include drawing, driving, playing keyboard, collecting Lion King stuff... ;) I enjoy listening to music too..whether it's at home on my mp3s or in my car. 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 tigers.. followed by coons, red pandas, foxes, rats, and, well.. anything cute. ^.^
Jobwise, I'm employed part-time at Petco as the reptile specialist.. it's just something fun for me to do on the side and to get out of the house. Mainly I work on art and fursuit stuff at home.
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 I only saw a couple of the previews on TV and from then on I was hooked and immediately started searching out LK merhcandise. Unfortunately I was never able to see the movie in theaters, which has always saddened me, although now TLK will be re-released to IMAX theaters and I can't wait.
After I saw the movie for the first tim, 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? Perhaps it's because 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 animal/animated 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 some heavy duty Metallica. The music gave the scenes that added 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 as well, with his awesome character design.
Watching TLK has always intrigued me to draw more, think more, wonder about new things, and even to write- something I'd never done, or even liked doing, before. The effect this movie has had on me ever since the first time I've seen it has been very powerful.
 Here's a little tidbit.. me in the newspaper due to my LK-ness!
Now what's up with Scar?
Incase you didn't notice, my fave character from TLK is Scar. I refuse to believe he is "evil"...but sad, confused, "shoved aside", lost, and misunderstood. A mixture of these things can cause one to be, well, "unstable".. not necessarily bad. Sure, what Scar did was wrong, but that doesn't make him wrong. We all make mistakes, don't we? The poor guy was often left out and put down...i.e. by Mufasa. It's plain to see why he had dislike for his brother. If Scar was truly evil, he would have wanted to get rid of everyone from the start. But this assumption should have clearly been rejected in the beginning when Scar calmly accepted his fate, stating, "I shall never be king..."
No, I'm not crazy. I just tend to see through things that nobody understands, or cares to try and understand. Besides.. Scar is one slick looking lion.
