However, I didn't say the other dreams were innocent... ALL RIGHT! ;D

Ugh, I suppose this looks quite bad with the Bible verse in my sig. But hey, I'm human, too, and I can't control my dreams. At least, not yet... ;D The hardest part is the one thing I can control - my daydreams. I find them getting out of hand sometimes... But just because I'm a Christian, doesn't mean I don't deal with normal human impulses. I'm far from perfect. Quite the work in progress actually (which is why that's the title of my comic book - we are all works in progress). On a side note, do you have Yahoo Messenger? We could chat on there sometime, or on FB...

@dyzz & avy: Thank you so much! I was feeling like maybe you all were having this great convo, and I would be, like, trespassing, or something. I'm just overly self-conscious about stuff like that, not because anyone here makes me feel I should be. It's all my own insecurities... @avy: "Get-it-on-with-Teacher" is just my own silly way of saying that it seems like most of Troy's fan girls are young enough to still have fantasies about their favorite male teachers that aren't geriatric just yet. That's all! Like that old song by The Police, "Don't Stand so Close to Me," 'cause, if you do, I'll likely get fired!! That song! But, seriously, Troy is SO not perverted, I don't think. He really doesn't seem like that to me at all. He might actually, oh, I dunno, RESPECT women, instead... @dyzz: Of course you're human, girl! We all are. I'm a Christian, too, technically, so we are all just doing the best we can. Our minds wander, right? We dream at night and totally can't do anything about that, right? But, we CAN stop ourselves from acting on those dreams, too, so we won't wreck our lives, unless we forget to cross ourselves... I'm on FB, but I'll give you my name through a PM. Just ask. Don't want that so easily accessible on teh intrawebzz...

Kyashi - I think I've seen you on FB on Troy's page... I'm the one who made the Excalibur figures. Yes, the LAST thing I would want to do is actually act on impulses. I love my husband too much for that. And he is sooooo good to me, I'd be an idiot - not even strong enough a word - to destroy what we have for some silly human impulse. Besides, I made a vow, and I plan to carry it out until the very end, like my mom did with my dad. Although I am "in love" with my husband, my mom hadn't been in love with my dad for years. She still loved him and would lay down her life for him, but she wasn't like on cloud nine all the time or something. Anyway, my dad developed Alzheimer's around 2000, and he passed away on March 1, 2007 at 66 years old. But my mom cared for him the whole time. He was bedridden for the last year of his life, and never got one bedsore. She made it possible for my dad to pass away in the very same room he came into this world in. (Yep, he lived in that house his whole life and was born in that room, too.) I want to have that kind of resolve and character, too.

@dyzz: Yes, I've posted a comment on Troy's FB fan page before. And, I've seen your posts for the Excalibur figurines, but I don't remember your name... Wow, your mom was Dee-voted! That's really wonderful. More married people need to be like this. Glad you plan on following in her footsteps. Even if she wasn't fan-girling over your father every minute of the day, her devotion and commitment to him shows that she loved him, right? Isn't that more real and true than just fan-girling? I never trust any supposed feelings of "love" unless it has withstood the test of time. A LONG time. I've never loved any man in an amorous way for more than a couple of years. That was really stretching it! This acutally goes for anything and everything... Like, I've wanted to write fiction (novels) since I was 21, so that's 13 years now. I've tried VERY hard to stop wanting that future career MANY, MANY times, but I always loop right back to it, eventually. So, I figure, since it's been going on for so many years, why fight it? That's what I want to do with my life! Obviously, that's it, or I would have grown bored with the idea a long time ago, just like every other idea. They all had expiration dates, but this dream has yet to expire. Just as strong as ever... Isn't that the "real" thing?

But just because I'm a Christian, doesn't mean I don't deal with normal human impulses. Ah. I'm not one to judge. I am probably the most twisted person here from the sounds of things.... I'm not christian - I'm more... spiritual but non-denominational really. And what's wrong with daydreams? Imagination is a wonderful spice of life! I wouldn't do anything to hurt my husband and it's because what we have together is so awesome that I couldn't imagine straying. (Hmm, how did we start talking about this again...?) Anyway, I love the fact that I have a creative outlet for all my ... rather imaginative... ideas and that he's more than encouraging of my slightly pervy ways. heh. He loves me for who I am and I love him the same in return. That's how I know what we have is real, imo. I've been pretty unmanageable/impossible/troublesome in the past and he's stuck by me for some reason or another! XD Now whether or not it stands the long test of time is another story, but I will always love that man even if he's my husband or not. Sorry to hear about your dad, hun. Your mom sounds amazing. My mom's been married 4 times but she's pretty cool too. heh

After trying to resist this bit of a chatter here, I couldn't resist the urge to reply anymore. I'm hoping that's okay... (just like Kyashi. ha!)
I feel very... out of place here maybe? I don't know, being almost 21 years old, I feel so... inexperienced I guess? lol not in the bad way, just... I'm not married, I still go out a lot (maybe more than I should) - though I'm not the type to go to parties every night and drink my butt off because I can. If I have a special occasion, I will, otherwise, eh, it's nice to have a drink or two, but nothing big.
When it comes to Troy, I feel far from his age as well. So without even meaning to, I would sorta fit into the "Get-it-on-with-Teacher" category. Which sucks, because I don't really want to be thought of that way. - but because of the age difference, even if him and i were okay with just hanging out, everyone else sees an age difference the size of Texas, so it's a big deal. ((Which makes me partly think about what he really does think about younger fans compared to the ones his age...))
Age isn't a big deal after you turn a certain age to me. I respect the age laws and such, of course - but to me, they don't matter (up until a point that is... lol) and so it really makes me feel small when someone brings an age difference up in a bad way. *sighs* -- I may never get a chance to have a drink with Troy if that's the case... - especially if since the age difference is so big, he might be like "Ahh, I don't wanna get in trouble..." -type deal. which I totally understand, yet I would be sad, alll at the same time... lol
Twilight - this is a complicated subject to me. I personally, loved the books, but that's also because I'm a huuuge sucker for a romance. Romance and me go together like peanut butter and jelly. The movies, ruined it. the fan base, ruined it. - I still love the books, but that's all as of lately. I've seen the movies (hoping they would get better, but they haven't so far... *sighs*)
Dreams: An interesting subjects. Being younger, I tend to have more... "not-so-innocent" dreams - but I usually can't control that (or I don't, like I should.) *sweat drop* I really should try and work on that - though to be fair, as far as I can remember, I've never had "that-sorta-dream" with Troy or anything... at least, I hope not. > >;
I have a few girlfriends I care about, and I try to see all the time. They mean a lot to me, but I grew up with guys, and I love being around guys, I'm more of a tough kinda girl. I'd rather spend the day outside on a sunny day going on quads or something compared to shopping at the mall ("Yeaaah, like totally! *fake girly voice*") (though, that's not to say I can't go to the mall to shop - I do like to, I would just prefer the outdoor quad thing. ;D) - Guys are more my thing in general, but yes, I do have a few girlfriends I have known for years (one I've known for at least 10 years) and I still love her to bits and I still see her often!
You all, are considered my girlfriends too though. I talk to you guys the most when I happen to be on the computer (At least, the girl spectrum of genders...) - and I enjoy every minute of it. =] You girls are so incredibly sweet and I'm sure i would be willing to be your girlfriend any day! ^_^
I think... that covered everything you were talking about... lol

Kyashi - I agree with pretty much everything you said. I do want to be as strong and faithful as my mom was. I mean, not like she was perfect or anything - she got really REALLY frustrated about it many times, but she still carried through. And you're right about "love". My husband asks me, since I am one who tires of things quickly, how is it that I can still love him after being with him for 13 years/married for 8? Well, I don't know how to answer that question. All I know is that I do love him and can't imagine my life without him. The book writing thing - that's sooo true. When I was going to college, I could not decide what to major in. I changed categories so drastically that I needed to change schools. (From psychology to computer science) But I didn't get accepted to the next school, and nothing ever worked out every time I tried after that. But again, I changed my mind so much I couldn't settle on one thing for a major. Now that I'm older, I've found that the one thing I've always enjoyed doing is drawing, so that's what I'm working on now. If I could afford to go to school for it, I would. But it's funny how some dreams never change, even when we put them off... Avy - Yeah, I try my best not to judge either. When I first became a Christian, I was one of the worst holier-than-thou types, and I pushed a lot of people away. But as I've grown and become aware of my own faults, I know it would be wrong to judge anyone else because I have PLENTY I can be judged on, too. And yes, I do believe in telling others about God, but I try to do it on their terms and not shove it down their throats. If they already know about Jesus and have no interest, then there's no reason for me to push the subject. But if they have questions or whatever, I'll be glad to answer them to the best of my ability. And that relationship that you have with James - that's just awesome. When they accept you exactly as you are and even love you for it - those are the best relationships to have. And I certainly don't think that because your mom's been married 4 times that she's NOT cool or something. ;D My husband Mike's mom has been married twice. And his dad, too. Funny thing is, that when each of them remarried, they each had a boy and named him Nick. So Mike has 2 brothers named Nick. ;D Baka Neko - I'm so sorry we made you feel that way. I should've thought more about it first. It wasn't really fair to call anyone not Troy's age a "getting-it-on-with-teacher" type. Especially since Unger's the one who started this forum and I'm guessing she's around your age too. To be honest, I guess I could have been that type all along. When I was 5, I had the biggest crush on David Hasselhoff when he was in Knight Rider. (How embarassing.) For that matter, when I was in 6th grade, I had this teacher, who was a HOT Italian with a twin brother. I think just about every girl in my class loved him - oh, and he was really nice too. So yeah I did have a crush on my teacher once. ;D And when the 6th grade went to the beach for an end-of-year trip, we all got to see him in a bathingsuit. Needless to say, we ALL took pictures, and I still have it somewhere... Even now, the guys I tend to like on TV are usually older. It's not like I crush on them and daydream about them, but I have had dreams about them. Michael Weatherly (NCIS) and Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) for example. I've had dreams where Hugh Laurie is my doctor. Heh, yeah, my "doctor". Sure. And how could I forget Harrison Ford as Han Solo? I had the BIGGEST crush on him. ;D I don't think age should be a big deal once certain age markers are passed. For example, the difference between 15 and 30 is nothing like the difference between 30 and 45. It's more about maturity levels than anything else. You're not a Justin Bieber-gushing pre-teen, you know? There's a BIG difference between what we all have here and THAT. ;D Even a lot of Vic Mignogna's fans give off the Bieber-loving vibe, so I totally feel out of place there. Funny thing is, he's a bit older than even Troy, and the little girls still gush all over him. Twilight - yeah, I liked it better after only the first movie had been released. The fandom has grown to crazy proportions and I hate being associated with that, just because I did enjoy the books. I'm just wondering now, based on my annoyance with Bella, how I DID enjoy the books so much. But then, I love romantic stories too, so maybe that's why. I think I've already covered the dreams issue. I have not-so-innocent ones, too, just none with Troy or Vic, that's all. Give it time though. Who knows, that could change... ;D And I do consider you one of my girlfriends too. I'm loving this little club we have going here, and again, I'm sorry we made you feel out of place. That wasn't fair. I hope you can forgive us!

Sorry, doll. We don't mean to exclude anyone! Of course you're inexperienced in this bit and there's nothing wrong with that obviously. It doesn't mean that we don't wanna hear from you though. We ve all been your age and prolly some of us would like to go back, so please! Say whatever is on your mind!! I like this rant thread. Its gewd. Uncensored me might not be easy on anyone's eyes though, so Ill try to hold back a little. ;D Damn, sweetie. Sorry about that... There aren't just two types of Troy fans, darling. There are age-specific tendencies of course, but let's face it... zeal is much more abundant in your 20s. You obviously have lots of it and there is nothing wrong with that. And age?! Age is really nothing but a number. I am reminded of a post Kyashi made a while ago... Troy would be thrilled to have a lovely young woman hit on or admit to admiration for him. There isn't anything wrong with those things. Be bold - you could be in for a surprise. *washes hands with plenty of soap to try and get her damn wedding rings off before the Con...* XD XD jk! Regarding he who brings us all together.... Hey, let's be honest. If I was single I'd hit on him too. My husband laughed and made fun of me the other day cause I guess I'm pretty transparent. I don't know anything personally about the man, but he's damn cute (I'm kinda shallow) and (insert something tres creepy here about his voice) so of COURSE I'd probably test my luck. Heh. When I was 20-23 I used to go out thursday, friday, saturday and sometimes Sunday/Wednesday and get drunk. Me and my girl were bar stars! XD I had to stop because I realized that I was going down a dangerous path considering my whole family is riddled with alcoholics... and I didn't wanna be one, so I stopped. HA! But other than that, the other reason I don't drink my ass off anymore is because it takes me half a week to recuperate!!!!!! How unfair is that?! *pout.* And I simply don't have the opportunity to go anywhere I would consider fun enough to get drunk.. there are no dance clubs and my husband can see someone on the street and tell you who they've slept with and it usually ends up involving either his sister or his exwife. It's nasty. Soooooooo I pretty much just hang out with him and the couple people I KNOW aren't nasty like that. I prefer to just stay away from anyone who knows his ex or his sister because they're really awful, petty women and I just don't wanna get involved in any of that. SO my lack of social life is primarily my own in one way or another. It's awesome that you still go out and have fun and have friends and stuff. Don't let that change! Some of us went down that path, others were forced down it but don't let that change for you, darling. It sucks to be alone when you're a social creature. Me too!!! Anything I can get my hands on that is romantic I go for. Older love, younger love, girl love, boy love... I love LOVE! I can't help myself!!!!! I sound like a broken record here, but if you don't mind light BL you should totally check out Junjou Romantica. OMG. It's awesome and so very romantic. O I LOVE IT. Ahem. Gomen. XD QFT. About the name Nick. HOLY NICKS BATMAN! The end. XD Eh, at the risk of sounding insane... I wasn't kidding when I said I preferred nekkid bishies. (In some thread somewhere else here...) Ok, look. This is how I see it. There are a very few real men that I would love to have in my clutches... BUT I have the perfect one already trapped in my web brainwashed. So I actually DO prefer bishies to real men. I have no problem fantasizing, daydreaming, giggling, fangirling etc over them, and my husband doesn't either. It could have something to do with the fact that I love women just as much, but I digress. Afterall, they're not real. It's like... fat-free food. No guilt and you still get all the satisfaction of the real thing. AND I have guaranteed benefits from my devilishly handsome husband. Life is good!! XD XD Sorry if that was TMI.... BUT I WENT THERE! ;D EDITED FOR HOT ITALIAN TEACHER COMMENT. Hot Italian twins?? Meow. That is all.

Yeah...My age was one factor I had against setting up the forums. Cause I'm slightly younger than Baka Neko. If I was a little bit older, I would totally take some action and ask him out or something. However, I just would feel weird doing that now.
Anyways. I've been watching this thread, debating on whether I should post for a while. And now, I figured that I might as well. It's not like it's going to kill me. Or at least I hope not...
I totally had a crush on one of my teachers in middle school. He was really cool. Great teacher, very nice. However, he got a little too close to the students and it resulted in him losing his job recently. Which doesn't surprise me now that I look back at it.
Twilight. Quite the interesting subject. I read it right before the third book was going to get released. It was good. Nothing spectacular. Won't deny that I was excited to see the movies. However, the casting for some of the main people just ruined it. I never liked Edward to begin with, nor did I Bella, but I really don't like the actors they casted for them. Jacob was okay and I can deal with the others. But I don't like some of the changes that has happened and while the movies keep stinking, I go to every premiere with my two friends. I am rather interested to see how the last book gets turned into a movie. That shall be interesting.
I've never had friends that stayed long. I always seemed to befriend the "new kid" or new person in town and a few years later they move and we lose contact. But within the recent years, I found a few people with similiar interests and we get along wonderfully. It was sad leaving for college, cause this time, it was me moving and not a friend. So I aim to go home once a month and during vacations to hang out. And if anything, they plan to visit me.
I tend to have more female friends. Which is really weird to me. The guys I have met either have no same interests or just think its weird that I love video games/anime etc. A few think it's cool but not many.
On the topic of dreams, I normally don't remember any of my dreams. I do remember a few random ones that occured a lot when I was little and then I remember my dream from last night. But that one was just bizarre. I like reading about dreams though. Perhaps its the fact, I normally don't remember mine but I find it interesting to see what they "mean" or how bizarre they are. I find it very fascinating...

If you simply mean flirting, then yeah I'd probably do that too. I flirted a LOT with my husband during the 4 years I knew him before we started dating... ;D And yeah, I don't know what it is about Troy's voice but... *sigh* I'll admit he's cute, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go any further than that. Well, except for the dreams I can't control. (On a side note about our no-so-innocent dreams - I DO actually dream about my husband far more often than the other dreams.) I also want to mention something I forgot to sooner regarding Troy. When I was showing my mom pics of him on Facebook, to show who I was going to make a gift for, she said, "He's going to break more than a few hearts the day he gets married." ;D My mom doesn't say stuff like that, so I thought it was really cute. I don't drink really at all. I went through a phase where I was having like one drink every weekend, but there's two reasons that stopped. One - I really don't like the taste of alcohol, and two - I got a slight buzz once. Reminded me so much of my dizzy spells that all I could think was, "why would I want to INDUCE those spells? No thank you!" But I've never been drunk. Watched my brother do it and puke his brains out and wondered why anyone would want to do that to themselves. I also don't read or watch too many romantic stories. I don't really want to encourage that wild beast inside that hungers for that stuff. I'm afraid that if I feed it, then it will grow, and then I'll end up doing something I'll REALLY regret... (I'm not too strong in the self-control department, so I'm better off just not going there...) Unger - Yeah, me too. It's cool that you have several female friends though. I'd love to have a girls' night out sometime, but I need some girls to do that... Growing up with 3 brothers, on a dead-end street where my younger brother and I were the only kids kind of kept us pretty socially in a bubble. Part of the reason my friends always found a better "best friend" was because they lived down the street from each other. I lived a long ways away from all of them, in comparison. I used to say I liked guy friends better because girls stab you in the back (based on my experience). Plus the girls were all into makeup and fashion, while I was into Voltron and video games. Sort of not a lot in common. But anyway, now that I look back, my guy friends were just as bad, but in a different way. As I mentioned earlier, they could never stay "just" friends for long. I hated that. That's no fun! My husband Mike seems to be the same way though. I can't imagine not remembering your dreams. I've had some doozies. Even "died" twice. But since you find them fascinating, as I'm sure most of us do, maybe we should start a thread dedicated just to dreams. That might be cool...

I struggle with maintaining friendships. I'm so used of people leaving or backstabbing me. Even in elementary, I was always alone for recess. It stunk but it helped me realize I can't depend on someone at every moment of my life.
I wish I could remember more dreams. Ironically my most recent one involved me meeting Troy. Which I have never dreamt of meeting someone, at least that I remember, so it was weird. Then again, my memory is just horrible to begin with. XD

Baka Neko & Unger: Uh-oh... I feel bad because I've alienated you two... *BADMEVERYBADME* I'm so sorry, girls, for saying something so stupid. It was just a dumb comment meant more for the crazy Vic-fan girl types, which a few Troy B. fans could be like, but I'm not so sure. Please forgive that lame phrase. You two are NOT considered in that category at all! From now on... You see, I don't know ANYBODY, hardly my age that even likes anime and manga, etc., so my joy over finding women (or, people) my age who love this stuff makes me jump to my ceiling!!! I'm a huge fan of Troy because HE likes this stuff IRL. He's a REAL fan, not just employed in the industry. You have to understand that, in my real life, anime doesn't exist to anybody. It's kiddie cartoons, and nothing more. VERY annoying that they think this, but they do. Even my nieces and nephews, who are all YOUR age, think this as well! Ugh... I love you girls!!! You are so sweet and I love being friends with younger women. I think of you like my nieces, who are just so precious to me, really... And, I love all of you my age, too! I knew this forum was special the minute I laid eyes on it, and not because it was Troy Baker's fan forum. Not. At. All. I just knew something about it was really neat, so was hooked from Day 1. @dyzz: I could be wrong about this, but I think Troy's been married before, actually. I remember reading about that when I was just starting to become a fan of his, a long while ago. I also read, at that time, that he was engaged to be married, but I know he's currently not married (I don't know about being single, though). Funniest thing is that, until very recently, I thought Troy was married!!! This whole time I've been a fan of his and thought he was hitched, lol!! I was shocked in a good way to discover that I was wrong about that... Isn't it usually the other way around??

Unger - That's funny - that's what one of my most recent dreams was, too. I think I might've posted it in the YKYHTMoTBW thread. ;D Kyashi - You mean like the ones who only want to hear him say their favorite line whispered in their ears so they can squeal and faint? Or worse yet make him say the Mustang miniskirt line that he hates so much? Yeah, that's why I used the Bieber pre-teen comparison. Because even with the younger girls here, they don't fit that profile, so this board overall has a more mature feel, which is nice for a change. Is "QFT" the right thing to say here? I had to look that one up, too, but I got varying definitions... Point being, I couldn't agree with you more. I think you're right though - one of the reasons I also love Troy is because he's not just employed in the business, but likes the same stuff too. I absolutely LOVE the bobblehead video that Unger shared. But I'm really enjoying ALL of your company. Age means nothing to me. My friend Laura (the one in Missouri) is 10 years younger than me, and you'd only know it when I mention something from the 80s that she doesn't remember - like Mr. T, for example. ;D As long as you don't act like you're 10, then who cares what the age difference is? We've got a great little sisterhood forming here. I really hope one day we'll all get to meet and hang out together. The only problem for me right now is, I'm spending so much time chatting here with you guys that I'm not getting much done. I still have so much to do for NYAF! I didn't know whether Troy was ever married/engaged. I just thought I saw a youtube video where he was asked if he was married and he said no, so that's all I was going on... AllyKat might know.

i know everything. ;D
troy was married once, years ago. divorced. he and his ex-wife are still friends.
he was also recently engaged, to a lovely lady, for a few years, but that ended several months ago.
however, he keeps his private life very private.
right now he resides in a lovely home in southern california with his hetero-life-mate BFK. {this is a kevin smith joke, in case anyone doesn't get it. BFK is his roommate and best friend} his other best friends are travis willingham and laura bailey, and his old band-mates in dallas.
i think his life is a little too busy to have any serious romantic relationships right now, with all the work he's been doing, the conventions, and the music. he really hardly has time to sleep, much less date.
