ADHD and dyslexic - That's all.

At first it was like a normal TV show for me. Before TMNT I liked Care Bears, He-Man, She-Ra, Thundercats and Ghostbusters. Though my mom took notice of how much I liked Turtles and started to use them to help me learn to read, I am dyslexic and was a first grade reader in fifth grade. The school wasn't much help, so I started to read thanks to the Turtles. Then the movie came out and taught me some important lessons about defending myself - take out the leader. It inspired me to get into Karate and the fights that I use to have to go through ended.

Basically they kept making my life better from getting my first job doing parties as a Turtle, making friends with the people behind the TMNT comics, getting back stage at the concert and on the set of the TV show. When you start to fall that deep into the behind the scenes, it's hard to think of ever not liking them.

But what got me to really be vocal about my fandom is that - if they could help me through so many hard points in my life. They can help others. So I want to see them around for future generations to come.

I did take out two loans towards the hobby. The first was for the Leonardo head, which was paid in full before I even thought about getting the other head. The other loan was after most of the Michaelangelo head was paid off, I was moving into a new place and VH1 was already in the picture. I wanted Michaelangelo to be there before the camera crew, I also used the loan to get a computer, computer desk and bed in my new room. That loan was paid years ago.

What I find funny about people bringing this up as if it's a bad thing... um... the Bank approved these loans which means Good credit, and an income they could rely on. So... I don't find any harm in using a loan if it's a low interest rate and a good way to build up better credit.

A candy bar pizza, a group of TMNT fans got together for a meet up and we wanted to do some crazy pizza so we got a bunch of candy bars like butter fingers, kitkat bars, m&m and more. It was a very sweet pizza and didn't even taste like pizza when we were finished. Still a lot of laughs, I haven't made one sense then and that was back in 1998.

Oh I realize why you upvoted the video, it's funny. And that's what they wanted and that's how it was edited. I don't mind others sharing how they feel about the questions being asked. And I agree that it's not hurting anyone.

Outgrow? You know, I laugh at people who think people have to outgrow what they enjoy. So we're reversed there. I think people should be allowed to enjoy what makes them happy as long as they're moving forward. And I have filled many dreams by sticking with my fandom. I will never outgrow this, like a sport fan will never stop loving the game. Once you got something that has brought so much happiness to you, don't feel you have to change cause others don't understand ya.
