Long Time No See...

Hello my dear friends and family! I know it's been quite a long time since I last blogged, but I hope to do a bit better. I'm just so darned busy! When I get home from work, I am too tired to blog. On my days off, I'm too busy trying to make the most of my time in Orlando!

There has been a lot, A LOT of time spent in the parks with friends. It is definitely my favorite part of working for Disney. My favorite ride is easily the Tower of Terror (it's also my favorite movie). After many evenings spent in Hollywood Studios, my friends and I became familiar with several of the cast members working at the tower. We may or may not have sweet-talked them into riding the ride with us for picture taking purposes!






We've met lots and lots of princesses! Aurora even recognized me and said she hoped to see me around the palace again!



Whilst at the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, I was chosen as the human kid who got to talk to the monsters. It was really fun! I also texted in a joke that got used during the show, so that was exciting. After the show, we met "That Guy" (if you don't know what that means, I'm sorry, but I can't ruin the fun), and had our picture taken with him!

Most of these events occurred  Thorsday (Thursday). It was a really fun day, but the best part was that we were able to ride the Thor car on the Avengers monorail.... twice. It. Was. Awesome! ;alsdhfuaicjwenhayguikecmjfhj!!!!! (We are wearing the flowers because we parked at the Polynesian Resort for convenience sake). 


The next big life event that took place recently was the WARPED TOURRRRR!!!!! It was really awesome and fun and amazing. I got a sunburn. But it wasn't too bad, so that was ok. I met Chris Kirkpatrick from *Nsync, and he was really cool. I think he was secretly flattered that a couple of moderately good-looking young women recognized him! We also were in the front row for both Taking Back Sunday and Yellowcard! It was such a thrill. Both bands were excellent live. We got to meet Yellowcard during a signing, and Ryan (the lead singer) showed me his Star Wars tattoos because I was wearing my Star Tours name badge. After the show, we met Chris Wilson (drummer formerly of Good Charlotte), and Sean (the super cool violinist of Yellowcard) came out from backstage exclusively for Jamie and I. We chatted, took pictures, and he complimented me for being pretty and whatnot. It was really cool! He was super duper nice! 






The next thing worth noting is that my friends and I went and saw Rocky Horror Picture Show Live at the Citywalk movie theater at Universal Studios. It was so much fun! It was tremendously obscene and offensive and lewd, but I want to be in the cast more than anything ever. They even invited Rebekah and I to come to a meeting because they wanted us to join! However, working for Disney means ridiculous schedules that are never set in a usual way. And, being that I am a CP, they will not accommodate me in order to join the Rocky cast, which makes me very sad.   



Last but not least, I had to say goodbye to some of my friends. We had a going away dinner at Applebee's for the CP's who were leaving after their programs wrapped. It was tons of fun, but quite sad at the same time. Luckily, my closest friends haven't left... yet. That happens next week. I really can't stand the thought of it. Laura (pictured above) leaves too soon for me to be happy about it. I'm going to miss her quite a lot. No one will be there to share in kitchen dancing/duets or german accent-ing or oggling at the French boys in France. I'm sad now.
