2 Things ...
First, moreso than getting a peek of your extensive movie collection I was far more delighted to finally get to see a photograph of you
UmbrellaFish, especially after all these years!

You look a lot tougher than I imagined, what with the shaved head and all, lol! I'm sorry I drew you so much like a wimp in that old Portrait Series avatar many years back. You would have TOTALLY owned that cliff you were falling off of.
In retrospect, I think your love for all things classic musicals and Julie Andrews gave me rather different mental image of you. I recall you're about 5 years younger than me (I'm 30 now) but I've always pictured you as having a very boyish, teenager-like look even up till now!
I remember that portrait very well! And I was always flattered by it!
I’m very much a softy in person. I guess I can be intimidating but I think I have a smiley, baby face, too. But I’ve never been waifish! I was a tall kid and obese. I’m still tall but my weight has fluctuated wildly in the past few years. Maintaining weight loss is hard and post-Disney I’ve swung back up again. As for the shaved head— I began losing my hair in high school. I was lucky that people were generally polite enough not to bring it up because back then it would have really hurt me. Nevertheless, I was still award of my hair loss and was self conscious about it the whole time— I had some terrible combovers! The week before I graduated I shaved my head (I didn’t want to fix my hair every time I took the cap on and off) and it’s been that way ever since. I like it and think it suits me! Although, when I’m an old man I
do want to try a Ben Franklin cut.

Oh wow! I did the DCP from May 2018 to May 2019, the first half of my program I was custodial at Boardwalk and then the second half I was a park greeter at Magic Kingdom.
Ahh, that's really cool! Boardwalk has always been one of my favorite walking spots with my friends, so I probably might have passed you without even realizing it.
Oh how funny! Now I can add you to my list of people I
missed seeing at Boardwalk— I took the ADO the night Neil Patrick Harris visited Jellyrolls... The Boardwalk is a beautiful place, though and I made some of my best friends on my CP there.
