Hi

[Cowabunga Kiefer]

Well, umm....where to start? I'm 18 years old, and live in Nashville, TN. My fandom with the TMNT began rather oddly, and unexpecting. See, (get ready)when the new movie came out in 2007, I'd forgotten all about who the turtles were and such, like none of their names/origin/purpose/etc. After a late night poker game with some friends of mine, one of them said he was going to see the TMNT movie with his church group. I thought," Why? Is it supposed to be good?" Anyway, on March 25, 2007 I just got off work, and decided to go see this movie (no question why but I just wanted to)(plus they had a marathon going on Cartoon Network the previous day, and I saw maybe two episodes of the 2003 edition). So, I watch this movie and....I'm just blown away!

My outlooks on life just changed, it's interesting yes, but true. Anyway, so I guess you can say I'm a late fan who's just making up for the missing pieces in my childhood, but now I'm a fan who tries not to be obsessed about them and more so having fun with what I'm blessed with. My fandom of the TMNT isn't very outspoken, so many friends don't know about it, nor colleagues and any other acquaintances, although I may wear a shirt or play the theme song on a xylophone or something. Anyway, so that's my "long/boring/maybe-intriguing" introduction, and I guess I'll be around! Thanks for reading!!!
