User blog:CoinsCP/How I found myself with Mixels

One day, late May 2014, DirecTV was being nice. As of 2015, I have knowledge it is yearly, but they all their subscribers a free trial of a diferent package, featuring new channels like Discovery Family and Boomerang!

It was so nice to watch Boomerang, since I believe it had been a LONG LONG time since I last got to see Boomerang on my TV screen, watching old classic shows. And DirecTV couldn't have chosen a better time to  put out the free trial.

At one point during the day, I found the Mixels episode "Wrong Colors" play as an interstitial program (since it had recently aired on Cartoon Network). It was interesting. I went to my computer and looked up for a Mixels Wiki (I like looking for these wikis ;) ) and then found out more about Mixels.

I decided to watch some early Series 1 shorts and figure out the basic idea, with it being a LEGO/CN collaboration and with the new waves being introduced during parts of the year. It wasn't until right after the episodes "Mix Over" and "Bar B Cubes" aired together that I had officially joined the fandom and made my first edits on the Mixels Wiki.

As the show went on, I became more obsessed with the show. By "Mixels: Mixed Up Special", I was hooked entirely. I didn't get any LEGO sets until some time after "Mixels: Moon Madness" premiered, where I got the Glowkies, and a bit later the Orbitons. And here I am now.

Happy 2nd birthday Mixels Wiki! The wiki and the people on it had contributed to pulling me into the fandom, thank you guys so much!
