In my "likes/dislikes" section, I chose to tell a little story instead of dive right into the "I like this character but hate this one" stuff. I informed my gifter that when I was a little girl (think 3 or 4), I got this notion in my head that I was Donald Duck. I just adored him so much, I really wanted to be him. It started off as pretend but, as time went on, I started to tell people "I'm not [rain0rshine]! I'm Donald Duck!!" They thought it was pretty funny and cute. Until one day at the grocery store, my mom called for me. I ignored her at first but eventually began to throw a hissy fit until she called me Donald Duck. The next day, my dad came home with an adorable and soft Donald Duck plush of my very own. When they called me Donald Duck that evening, I politely informed them, "Silly mommy and daddy. points to DD plush THAT'S Donald Duck. I'm [rain0rshine]."

I'm a Navy brat and I've moved more times than I can count on my fingers and toes since that plush came into my life. Somewhere between Puerto Rico and Austin, Texas (when I was about 13), Donald went missing and hasn't turned up since.

So when I opened my package today to find not only Donald but also Daisy Duck, I felt like a little kid again. My match not only read my entire story, but took me back 23 years in time with this Donald Duck plushy. Totally made my day. I'm glad to know that the Disney ducks are a favorite of Gatake too! =)
