:rolleyes:
Nephilim, you sound a bit like me. I'm always polite to people i've never met before, like sales people and stuff, even when they start to annoy me. I guess I just dont have the guts to stand up to them. But then again, i think if it was a serious situation i would. Generally, when i need to do something, i do it. :bleen:
When i first changed my wallpaper from gollum to TLK (after realising TLK is the best movie of all time), my brother saw it and commented "Err, The Lion King?!" as though it was a little bit strange to have that for a wallpaper. But he hasn't given me any more trouble about it, which is good. He knows i bought the soundtrack too, but doesn't seem to care. But if a stranger insulted me like they did you LKD, i'd talk right back to them! :grrr:
ooh... sales-people are fun... im polite, i just say no... and then when they keep going, i say... "no thank you" in an incredibly annoyed fashion before saying "do you know what the word no means? obviously not... but still, you'd know if you'd ever finished college" but that one doesnt work if theyre like... a little kid or something
anyway back on topic:
most of my friends know that i like TLK, but only 3 know *ahem* the the complexities in their unabridged form. i have only informed a select few of my closest friends of the apex of worship i have for TLK.
*coughs several times, leaving "smart" mode*
*takes some asprin and prepares for more speech giving*
anyway... two of the afore mentioned friends, who are both girls, are fans of TLK as well, but in a much less complex manner
*eye starts twitching*
ok so anyway my third friend... dislikes TLK... a lot =(, which is unfortunate. sometimes he really gets to me...
one day he walked into my first period class, before school started, and just says... hey, whats up simba, dont forget to take your place in today's circle of life... and i was really mad :grrr:, but did nothing, but later i got a new TLK sn on AIM just to make him madder :evilgrin:
anyway... most of my other friends just accept me for who i am and dont really care what i like... in fact, lots of people (my parents and sisters included) call me Simba :D... and that makes me feel... a lot better than it does when it comes from... certain people... (and all the school bullies)
but anyway... my TLK fanaticism is mostly accepted... most of the time :D and that's definitely good... but there are definitely people i would want to avoid and IMO, going into a store to buy TLK stuff is not my idea of the funnest thing to do, but hey... if they give me a hard time about it, ill put it in their face and get on amazon.com... hehe
:lol:
:) Excellent reply King Simba! Very interesting :bleen:
You should feel happy that most people you know, know that you like TLK (...weird sentence...) It's great that most of your friends, and your family, don't mind that you like it. And don't worry about the person who gives you a hard time about it, because there will always be a moronic bully who wants to bring you down (and yes i know that statement is extremely cliche, but that's because it's true!). Just remember, they are usually hiding some kind of inadequacy of their own - like they have family troubles or are in denial about something...or they are just plain morons, which is often the case :uhno:
Actually this reminds me of something that i wanted to talk about. The other day i had to sit my mid year chemistry exam for my final year in college (high school) and, even though i had studied sooo much, i found it very hard. The questions were almost like they were a whole level up in difficulty from what last years questions were, and the year before. Anyway i was quite upset, because i feel that i need to get outstanding results, that's so important to me. And i feel its likely that i didn't go so well. So at the dinner table i bring up the fact, and all my family ultimately did was make me feel dumb for finding chemistry difficult, as though its an easy subject - although before this exam i found chemistry quite understandable and possible to figure out. But the exam was :eww:
Anyway, my family doing that made me feel really frustrated and unhappy. I've kind of resolved now, as i should have done ages ago, to not talk to them about anything important to me. It never helps, they always just make me feel bad - they don't seem to realize i have feelings. :woeisme:
So my point is i won't be telling my family about my TLK addiction. But then if i did they might take me to see TLKoB (except not on broadway, in sydney!!). Oh, the indecision :worried:
thats quite a predicament you got there :confused:
I guess you could always ask to go to TLKoB without actually telling your family you got a TLK addiction,
or you could always go on your own if they dont want to go with you :D
:hugs: thanks for the advice!
I have asked them to take me before, and they seriously considered it before finally deciding it would be too expensive (i'm from melbourne you see)
If i keep nagging at them, they'll be like: why do you wanna see it so much? And i know they probly still wouldn't take me :grrr:
And they would never let me go on my own :alone:
Oh well. They said if it comes to Melbourne we'll definitely go to see it. I can't find any info regarding that. Do you think it will Simba_TLK? :D
it might, but i dont think it will in the near future :confused:
from what ive heard it is going to be staying here in Sydney for a fair while. I guess it will be very hard to move the whole set and everything.
also on the TLKoB Sydney Website they are planning auditions for the next set of cast members. :p
Good luck on that Mabatu *hugs* I know EXACTLY how you feel, seems are families are very much alike *hugs again*
:rolleyes: :( That is what i feared would be the truth. I read somewhere that it cost millions to move Beauty and the Beast to melbourne (which i saw with Hugh Jackman as Gaston - now that he's a celebrity i feel pround about that!), and TLK sets and stuff is a lot more complicated than beauty and the beast. *sigh* Oh well i'll just have to nag at them a bit, maybe they will take me for my birthday - heck, i'll even pay my fare and stuff! :thinks: Hmm, maybe i could become a cast member :lol:Quote:

being a cast member would be fun :D
but i have to face facts that:
1. I cant act
2. I cant sing
two of the main aspects they are looking for :p
facing reality tends to suck at times :lol:
:lol: i am in exactly the same boat with you there! ;)Quote:

I can sing... fairly well... but i need accompaniment... i can't sing as well alone, because then i can't get exactly on a pitch... maybe i should practice more
*grabs a couple TLK CDs*
We should start our own.. thing.
lol... if by 'thing' you mean TLK show-type-thing then: YEAH YEAH LETS DO IT YEAH :D:D
if thats not what you mean, enlighten me...
My friends seem indifferent to me being a TLK fan, but my family thinks I am wierd. I only know one other TLK fan personly and he is no where nearly obseesed as I am. But I hardly ever see him.
My current friends accept me for who i am, but i have that odd feeling that my old friends(from my old school) think i'm a little bit bizarre.
I haven't really told anyone about it since I was made fun of for it when I was younger. :alone: People tended to think Disney was just for kids - so wrong! :browlift:
Your family makes fun of you for it? That sucks!Quote:

I never tell ANYBODY IRL about how much I like TLK (actually, I'm not obsessed with TLK, it's just that I'm obsessed with Scar :evilgrin: ). I actually don't tell anybody IRL about most things. I'm pretty introverted.
I don't openly obsese about TLK cause I have other interests that I can talk about with them. My bro thinks its kinda weird thought he does admit it is a good movie.
simply put,someone who dosent accept you for what you like/enjoy is not a good friend. personally, my friends are not what you would call supportive of my lion king hobby, but they don't go around harrasing me about it :). There are occasions where my friends talk the trash....but its all in good fun, seeing how one who does it the most is a "Beauty and the Beast" fan. I myself absolutley love tlk, so i really don't give a crap when someone i dont know mock me. So far, no other animated/real movie has captivated and amazed me more than The Lion King has.
I hate it when my friends either say that "Aladdin" or "Little Mermaid" were the best Disney movies...
the ppl in my class "not friends" respeckt it pretty good....exsept that some times they use it agenst me when doing sick our bad jokes they are like
"oh did your TLK colection broke"
"did Simba run away today?..."
sick stuff like that
i just walk up to them and say face to face
"Am a huge TLK fan and am F"!?#ng proud over it aswell..."
the i ushely turn around and walk away leting them stand there speach less......
i got a friend though JP hes a really cool guy "aswell as his class" so am trying to chance class....am really sick of my own.....he is the only one that havent made a crack abut my TLK fandom
Wow, I can't believe I've not posted in this thread yet. After reading through all that I've almost forgotten the question. :p I used to think my love for TLK was quite secret but now I realise that it's not at all... :lol:
Okie dokes, so in Primary school I don't think I told anybody. After we initially saw the movie in 1994 I would sing the songs really loudly so my family knew I loved it then and gradually it's shown that I really like it through the poster on my wall, the few things around my room and the fact that I watch it fairly often :p A couple of weeks ago I was talking to my sister on the phone and she said that she and her husband had accidently stumbled across my TLKFAA :gasp: :zzz: ...so that was interesting... my little secret is out! In High school, I don't think I really told people that I loved it, it kinda gradually showed through the drawings in my books :D and then once I mentioned it to people, one girl said that she loved it too ...much to my suprise, except whenever she watches it she fast fowards the stampede, hehe. So yeah, my school friends grew to knew that I liked it, but I'm still kinda secretive about it even though they know. The really cool thing is that no-one makes fun of me for it, which I guess I am very lucky for.=D So my family knows about it, so do my school friends but that's it, no-one from my church or people in my course I'm doing-although they've seen some sketches I drew. I swear I was getting to a point... but now I've either forgotten it or I didn't have one. :p Oh yeah, that's right. Last year, I bought TLK on DVD when it came out but I couldn't watch it cos we didn't have a DVD player... and then for my birthday a group of my friends got together and made me a birthday card with TLK pics on it AND they bought me a DVD player so that I could watch it! *dies* hehe... so yeah, my love for TLK is out there more than I thought... heh. [/rambling]
aawww thats so sweet. My friends are cool even though they probably wouldn't but me a DVD player(even though I already got one:p)
Well i have never had any trouble with any shop keepers, and the lion king though, i don't think my dad has excepted me yet for this obssesion, my sister and my brother take the piss, now most of my brothers mate nows, none of my school no, just a few Andrea, some friend i know, she is bout 30, i mean when my mum and my famnily went a bit odd and thought that i was up to something i shouldn't be....:die:
I have to hide my tlk folder so no finds it...
I mean it isn't wrong for me to like the lion king, cause that is my impression that it looks like as well. Why does life have to be so complicated when you like The lion king....
:grrr:
Btw the only Character i like from winnie the pooh is Eeyore. but i even have to hide my floppy disks were i keep my pics cause my mums bf searches through them nothing is private. so i end up taking all my stuff into school and keeping it in my bag away from civillisation...:eek:
