POST #30! Exciting huh...

Hey guys!

Guess what I did today? Can you guess? Can ya? Can ya? Nope youre wrong. I made chocolate chip cookies. :) I got up early- 9.40 haha- and went to Rebeccas at 10. Rebecca is the other kiwi at work. We stick together because we are super cool. We had to go on a bit of a Walgreens mission because we wanted to make brownie and didnt have cocoa. Problem was they didnt sell cocoa. Last night on the bus we were talking to Brittany, one of the other girls, about our proposed baking mish and mentioned that we had to buy cocoa. She was like..."cocoa... I think my mum uses that sometimes..." As in she didnt even really know what it was. Noone here bakes at all by the sounds of things. So yeah. We went to Walgreens but they didnt have any cocoa so we resorted to making cookies. Which we didnt have any of the right stuff either. But we improvised a bit and eventually had some semblance of cookie dough-which tasted amazing btw, you so wreck the stuff by cooking it!!! Oh! We had to put in chocolate right, so we had a block of chocolate, broke it into squares and put those in. Mixed it all in and then realised hang on we should probably chop that chocolate up smaller. Sooo we had to pick out all the chocolate, cut it into smaller pieces and put it back in. It was awesome lol. Epic baking missions... Hey Kate, we didnt melt the butter!!! :P Yeah so we chucked them in the oven and over cooked them and they were kinda average. But hey it was exciting! Its so weird here, everyone acts sooo much younger than they actually are. I dont know why or what it is but somehow they just havent grown up yet lol. Well not everyone. But the vast majority. You know how in movies theres all the cliques and the cheerleaders and stuff? Its actually like that over here. I mean you get it a wee bit in New Zealand but it is soo much worse here! It was all good at work until the last couple of days but its started up now, a couple of girls deciding that they are too cool to talk to anyone else and you really just get the impression that they would stab you in the back if they got half a chance. Im reasonably safe, as is Rebecca because they love our accents so much, but we are going to have to be really careful about who we get close to. Im just hoping I manage to not get dragged into all the catty stuff, I really cant be bothered with that crap!!! Anyways enough ranting! Im still loving it here lol. Hope you guys are all fantastic!

WEEKEND!!!!

Wooooohooooo so its my Sunday today. Even though its Thursday. But thats beside the point. I spent yesterday mucking around and really not doing very much, as well as trying to find someone to take my shift on Sunday so that I can go to Wicked in Tampa. :P I found someone, now Im just hoping it all gets approved and stuff. Third time lucky haha. Had a bit of a wrestling match with Michelle last night... you see, Sarah has this toy penguin which is the perfect shape and size to hug and its pretty much just amazing. I wanted it. Michelle had it. Chaos happened lol. We are both a wee bit bruised now. Oh and we made an epic meal last night, pork chops and steamed veggies and pasta. It was sooo good and you have no idea how good it was to eat veggies again lol. Its been sooo long! In fact, its been ages since I ate a proper meal for tea, Im always at work so I just have a muesli bar and an apple or something lol. This morning I went for a wander to commons to see how far it is, it took about 25 minutes so I think I was right in my guess that it was about 3 kms. And I visited Mickeys Retreat which is kinda like the domain, it has a lake and paddle boats and trees and a beach volleyball court and BBQs and a couple of pools. I ended up sitting by the lake for quite a while in the sun which was nice, was getting kinda "I need time by myself or Ill pop" ish. Then I turned around and wandered home again. And that is my weekend so far!! :) Tonight there is karaoke and free coffee at the Pavilion so we are all going to go to that, should be fun! Oh and weve been working out this New York thing. Its going to be expensive but should be sooo much fun!! And we are semi planning another trip to Memphis. Michelle works with a girl from there so we are going to go crash at her house lol. Then Miami at some stage... and I want to go to Kansas so I can make lame Wizard of Oz jokes. So many things to do, so little time!!! Anyways Id better go! Email me if you want less generic info on the goings on here!!!

ARGH!

Ok not a lot to report so this is a short one but it turns out..... dun dun dun...I WOsRK WITH CREEPY MCSTALKERS ROOM MATE! Lol. I found this out today and was laughing hysterically the whole time I was loading my gate and doing the safety checks and stuff lol. Oh my gosh I cant believe that... The best bit is, Id already told this guy the stalker story and how creepy it was and stuff but I didnt mention a name or anything so we didnt work out that he is the room mate lol. Apparently stalker is maybe getting termed for fighting though so maybe Ill be able to hang out by the lake again... :P

Michelle has a gross foot

Hey guys.

Michelle is resting her foot on my shoulder and its really gross because her heel is all cracked and yucky. Last night Jackie had to gladwrap her foot for her... apparently it helps or something. Much hilarity. Then Jackie was trying to take photos and Sarah really really didnt want photos so was hiding in the wardrobe so I pulled her out... It was funny. Annnnyways. Umm yeah so I had work again yesterday, felt sooo gross cos I had a cold or hay fever or something. But then I got my break and went and doped myself up on painkillers. Was overly happy and just a wee bit dopey for the rest of the night. Those things are meant to be non drowsy but I dont know how true that is... I was really pretty out of it lol. Kinda glad I wasn't in tower, I would have had a hard time focussing on the screens. But today Im feeling waaay better. :P Yeah so I put this story up on facebook already but last night I was on PEG- Pavilion Exit Greeter. Basically you stand at the outside doors and wave and smile for 45 minutes lol. Anyways I was doing that, then a lady comes up and is like "Is it still raining?". What the heck? Surely she can find out just as easily as I can... I didnt quite manage to contain myself and told her that she should walk outside and see if she gets wet. Oops. Lol. I dont think anything else interesting has been happening... Yeah. Hope you guys are all good. EMAIL ME PEOPLE!!!

I have a blocked nose

Hey guys

I feel like death warmed up. Gahhhhh I have a blocked nose and im all overheated and sweaty and yucky. Its all Staceys fault, she was sick then she made Jackie sick, now Jackie made me sick. Michelle has really bad hay fever so basically we are all sick except for Sarah and Caryl. Lucky things.... Anyways so other than feeling gross, we have an apartment inspection today so me and Jackie are currently sitting on the couch waiting for them to get here. We got up early ish this morning to clean up and stuff, had a really really good sweep vacuum and mop, cleaned up the bathroom and stuff. Well... some of us did. We also baked cinnamon rolls- again- they are amazing! To bribe the inspectors. But they didnt arrive fast enough so we ate them all lol. Um what else is new... Not a lot. I need to lie down so Im going to go now! Sorry its a short post, email me!

Oh! The other thing that happened last night

So I was at work, on gates. And I did my speil as usual, because Im a good girl and actually do my speil most of the time unlike some slackers around the place. I finish my speil and ask if anyone has any questions. One guys hand goes up, I ask what the question is, he says "Yeah um do you drink decaf? I think maybe you should." Hahahaha dont worry guys, I still talk WAY too fast :)

Saturday, February 20, 2010

OH.MY.GOSH.

AHHHHHH! Ok, so there are two very very exciting things I found out today. Firstly, I have 4 days off in June to go to New York with the flatmates and Renee for Renees birthday! YAY! Secondly, and more immediately exciting, the Donut Man is doing a free concert in Kissimmee on the 7th of March!!! Which unfortunately is a Sunday night and I will be working but I may just try to rearrange my schedule a wee bit to get the Sunday off...... then I have to find a ride there. So Im thinking I might hit up Christian... at least see if hes interested. But wouldnt that be cool!! Id get to see the Donut Man!!!!!!!!! Hehe dont judge me. Ummm what else has been happening. Had work tonight which was work like. Except I was an hour early because I cant read a watch. lol. Then I closed merge. AGAIN. And we were all just calling each other on the phones around the different positions because we were bored so I was crouched behind the merge desk talking and next thing I know flipping Brandon is about 5 cm away from my face yelling RAAAAAAAAH! He gave me SUCH a fright!!! I screamed. I really really need to get him back good. First the phone call while I was in tower and now this... hes going DOWN. Problem is everything I come up with would get either one or both of us termed so Im kinda stuck... any ideas feel free to let me know! Argh and I think Im getting a british accent from everyone mocking me all the time!
Anyways I really need to go blow my nose!!
Talk to yas later!

A massively huge day!

Well well well... three holes in the ground...

Well you see me and Rebecca, the other kiwi from work, have been planning to do animal kingdom. Soooo yesterday we both had the day off! Mean! I rang her at 9 am, but it rang and rang and rang and she didnt pick up so I txtd her. Then she rang me. I dont know why thats important but you have to understand how exciting it is when our phone rings lol. Noone EVER calls us. Aaaanyways, we eventually got to the park and headed to Dinosaur where we waited for 45 minutes for the guys who are kinda weird but hey. Went on dinosaur which was awesome, then on this weird spinny ride. Did most of the rides at Animal Kingdom, and me and Bex had an awesome little distracted side track where we saw people eating funnel cakes so went on a funnel cake hunt and on the way found Pocohontas just arriving so went and got photos, then got funnel cake. Then got a phone call saying "where are you? You were meant to meet us about 15 minutes ago" lol oops. Funnel Cake is INCREDIBLE. Its basically a really really big squiggly donut covered in icing sugar. Mmmmmmmmm. I dont understand how Americans eat a whole one themselves though... we felt a bit sick after eating half of one each. Well I kinda understand how they eat a whole one. Its the not throwing up part I dont get lol. And on the way back to the guys we found one of those picture things where you stick your head in the hole and take photos so you look like a scuba diver or whatever. So we got a wee bit excited and pushed in front of some small children to get photos :). Ummm what else did we do at Animal Kingdom? Ohhh we went to the petting zoo, "affection section". Lol. It was actually kinda gross. Im not usually the kind of person who gets angry about zoos and stuff but far out it was sooo bad. There were sheep and goats and things and they all looked sooo sick. There was no grass or anything, they were on this playground kinda thing. It was weird. We left pretty fast! It was pretty late by then - 5 pm or something like that- so we went outside and caught the bus to Hollywood Studios. By this stage we had ditched the guys because we are nice like that. Sooo we got there and were going to go on Tower of Terror and RockinRoller Coaster but got distracted again by pretzels. By this time there were HUGE crowds of people lining up for Fantasmic which was the reason we were there in the first place so we thought hey we should probably get in line... good thing we did because we got pretty much the last seats in the amphitheatre. It was AMAZING! So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There were fireworks and water fountains and movies on the water and the water on fire and princesses and Mickey Mouse- who I absolutely LOVE now for some reason. It was just so cool. Would most definitely go again, even if I had to brave the crowds! So yeah saw that, tried to go on tower of terror but the line was stupid so we fought our way BACK through the crowds- who needs rides when you have crowds like that??- got very lost trying to find the bus stop, and came home. Yaaay. Was a fantastic day :) And today Im not working til 6pm! So essentially another day off. Have a MAGICAL day!

Annnnd still not much to report... why I bother I do not know.

And howdy doody.



As the title of this blog suggests, there is still not a lot to report in the world of Kristy. Please please please all email me what is going on in the lives of y'all. -Just a note, I dont actually say that yet, but please start preparing yourselves for me to say it by the time I come home. Sooo many people say it here! And I caught myself saying "tan" instead of "ten" the other day... picking up that aussie accent... kill me now. Sooo my day... went to Walmart with this guy I met on the bus lol. Hes friends with one of my work buddies. So yeah he was nice and gave me a ride to save me sitting on the bus for aaaaaaaaaages. Then me him and his friend- the one I know from work- went to Cici's for lunch. Im pretty much addicted to that place, not gonna lie. :) Then we went to Hollywood Studios, pretty much just did Rockin Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror then left again because I had to get home to get organised for Bible Study. Poor guy got abused by these two little girls in the line. We were talking to them because it was a long line but they decided I was their favourite and that... lets see if I can get this straight... His head was a toilet, his nose was a banana and the rest of him was made of poop. Haha. Annnyways. Then I got home and got organised, realised Id been reading my watch wrong so thought Id go online and was fortunate enough to catch the lovely Ashleigh the Girl online! So that was fantabulous. Then I just finished talking to her annnnd Paul signed in! So I had a really good chat to him as well. That made my day even more fantastic. And THEN as if my night wasnt great enough I went to Bible Study which made me happy. On the way back Christian was talking about how theres this old abandoned Chinese theme park around here somewhere that you can go and explore. Welll.... you arent meant to, but apparently so long as you avoid the homeless people its reasonably safe. Sounds like SO much fun! Apparently there are tunnels to climb through and things and an old abandoned temple kinda thing... and if you go at 2 am ish you dont even have to run away from the security guard because hes gone home!!! :D
Anyways Ill leave you all with a mental image of me getting eaten by homeless people!
Going to Animal Kingdom tomorrow which should be fantasmagorical,
Adios!!

And another day involving a spectacularly up himself person

Hellloooooooooo!

Hoping NZ is treating you all fantabulously. Yesterday was a really good day at work! Who you are working with makes such a huge difference to how the day goes... I was basically stuck right in the middle of a big group of CPs- College Programme. So that was good. One of the guys was picking on me- like they all do, im an abuse magnet I think- he shut me in the little corridor thing between the theatre and the gates! But later he says "You know I only pick on you because I like you right? I dont like any of the other CPs, they are all American and boring. Im American too but I only like international people" -side note, "like" as in friends.- His name is Kyle but he calls himself Jevin because Kyle is apparently too common. So I kinda told him (quietly because we were at work) to get his head out of his butt and stop being such a snob. Its so funny, I can say these things here and get away with it! Its the power of the accent! Its awesome! The best bit was, about 5 minutes later, he was down the corridor talking to some of the other American CPs. Go me. But honestly, how up yourself can you get!? They are all lovely too, its not like they are weird or anything. Ummm what else. Got stuck on merge for a couple of rotations. Everyone HATES merge cos you get abused. But once again, power of the accent, I have so far never been yelled at. They are all nice to me! One of the guys is really jealous because he always seems to be on merge when theres a riot and everytime Im on there its all sweet as. Oh and I closed merge last night. It sucks. You stand there for half an hour or so by yourself, with nothing what so ever to do, waiting for a phone call telling you you can turn the lights off. Lol

Have a fantasmagorical day!

Hakuna matata....

Hey all

Not a lot to report- as per usual- I went to church again yesterday which was great, I have decided its not so much like LIFE church after all. Probably closer to Greenlane or St Pauls- Christchurch equivalent would be St Albans probably. Only bigger. Lots bigger. Ill take a photo next time. Its crazy. Ummm yeah so went there, then went with Alex, Christian- the guy who gives us a lift to church, hes awesome, he has the most twisted sense of humour ever... and comes from a place called "niceville". Is that just asking for crap or what?? Christian from Niceville....- annnnyways and his room mate Patrick- I have met soooo many Patricks!!- this is a very lonng sentence, to Moes for lunch. Moes is pretty much Subway only they do Mexican food. So I got Nachos which were huuuuge but I was determined to finish them anyways. They were really good. I think we entertained the guy behind the counter, me and Alex had no idea what we were doing. You guys know what Im like with decisions... I actually ended up saying "I dont care, put what you want on it". He was like "but its YOUR nachos..." So I just got everything other than the yucky stuff like cucumbers. And they gave me a cupful of liquid cheese to pour over it. Which we thought was disgusting until we tried it and were kinda converted cos it tasted like especially good sour cream. Lol. Then I came home and had 10 minutes to get changed and make a packed tea to take to work before I caught the bus. Went to work... a couple of funny moments, theres this video that comes on with a guy called Patrick- see?!? Everyones called Patrick! - ad he goes over all the safety stuff. One of the little kids at my gate looks at me i absolute disgust and says "What is WRONG with that man?!!?" Hahaha. And then I was on tower and Marcus had to leave the theatre before I could dispatch the ride but he couldnt get out the door, somehow the handle had got stuck... So we had all these very grumpy people stuck in their seats until maintenance came and let him out. Other than those moments though it was a reasonably crappy day, it was really busy, 2 hour wait, so people were tired and grouchy and abusing everyone lol. Was ok for me, I was in gates all day but one of my friends got stuck at merge for ages and just got abuse constantly... might take him some chocolate today. But yeah... turns out I had a bit more to blabber on about than I thought!!
Have a great day guys

Well that was fun... not...

Hey guys

Well last night I worked until 12.45am. I got home at about 1.30, bed about 2... and up at 7!! Woohoo! Haha I wasn't too with it for the first half hour or so of work, and it really didnt help that I was on Gate B which is where you have to put 11 people in each row instead of 10 so it messes with your head a bit more... screwed up the first couple of flights cos I was just not awake. Hahahahaha and something really funny happened that even now I have to try really hard not to laugh when I think about it. Theres a lady I work with whos kinda old and annoying- not that those two things go together but she just happens to be both. And scary. Thats another good adjective for her. Anyways she was grumping at me for something or other and was getting on my nerves a bit when I went and started loading my gate. As i swung my arm out to show the guests where to go- and I swear this was entirely accidental!- I smacked her right across the face!!! I had no idea she was even standing there lol. So yeah... oops :S. But other than early mornings and accidental assault I dont think theres too much to report! One of the guys I work with was drunk so that was interesting... you could smell it on his breath too it was kinda gross. And yeah! Thanks again for reading my pile of meaningless drivel! Eat some pineapple lumps for me :)

Dunnnnnnnn Dun dun dun dun Dunnn da Dun...

I WENT TO PHANTOM OF THE OPERA LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that is a completely appropriate amount of exclamation marks to show the amount of amazingness involved. It was so so so so so so incredible. I think it might have even been better than the one in Vegas. Honestly, any of you who have been to anything musical with me know how annoying I can be if I decide they are out of tune... I couldnt fault it at ALL! Except for Meg, she was a bit off at times but I think she was an understudy so thats allowed. Christine, Phantom and Raoul were all amazing, as were the sets and the costuming and the effects and pretty much everything else about it. The only sad thing was that we all had to catch a bus to the social security office at 6 am yesterday morning so I was kinda tired by the second half of phantom. I was having to use all my focus to keep my eyes open... Imagine falling asleep at Phantom of the Opera. How pathetic would that be?? But I didnt so its all good :) SO yeah that was incredible. Yesterday we spent the late morning and afternoon at Hollywood studios which was pretty cool, didnt really do a lot but it was good times. Yeah that was my day. I have work today from 5-1am and tomorrow from 8.45 am-2pm. So might not get a lot of sleep by the time the stupid bus gets me home lol. Ive been trying to suck up to one of the girls who has a car but Im not sure if she finishes at the same time as me or not. But yeah thanks for reading my pointless ramblings!!!

Morning sunshines....

Ok.

The last couple of days have been reasonably eventful ish. I had the day off yesterday so I went on a much needed Walmart mission- I was completely out of food. But now I have food so you can all stop worrying :). And I went on a mission to Magic Kingdom Backstage to check out Cast Connection which is this place that sells all the clearance kind of stuff from Disney to cast members for really really really cheap. Dont tell Matty but I found him a star wars clone costume for $5. I hope it fits, it might be too small... Then I hung out here while Michelle disappeared to a Mardi Gras event thing at Chatham and Jackie and Renee brought a couple of movies home. Then I went to Bible Study! Which was exciting! Its so funny, I think Kiwi accents are a bit of a novelty around here lol. I actually got told by the guy who drives me there that "you could be the ugliest person in existence and have no personality what so ever and everyone would love you just because youre from New Zealand". Lol. HAHA I just farted on Michelles feet... anyways! They were talking about a camping trip that they are going on for church or something last night and they said a couple of the guys were going to cook using Dutch Ovens................. I had to focus soooo hard to not crack up laughing........... Oh! And the guy who drives me to church has offered me a ride to see Wicked in Tampa!!! So me and him and his girlfriend and a couple of other people are going to go sometime. Yay!! This morning we had an appointment at the social security office. At 6.10 am. FUN! We just got home so it must have been about 3 hours of sitting half asleep in a queue. That wasnt the highlight of my trip so far lol. So yeah. Were going to go to Hollywood Studios soon, hit up the Tower of Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster again :P YAY!
Have a magical day guys!

I have a stalker

Ok so heres the story...

I was just chilling down by our little lake pond thingymajig reading my book and this guy came over and started talking to me which isnt really that weird here, everyones really friendly. But anyways I was just chatting to him then I was like hey Ive got to go back to my apartment to get organised for work- as in, hey nice chatting but you can go now- and he followed me!! Lol so he was kinda awkwardly sitting in the lounge talking to my flat mates while I went and got into my costume, stayed here for an hour or so until I had to go, then I left assuming that once I left he would too and leave my flat mates alone. Problem was, he didnt. He stayed until about 4- he came over at about 12- because the flat mates were too nice to say go away. But then they made excuses about having to go to walmart and kicked him out... apparently he came back about half an hour later and wrote his number on the white board and for me to call him. Creepy. That was bad enough. But then aat about 11.30 pm we were all hanging out watching TV and stuff and there was a knock on the door!! Jackie looked out the peep hole and guess who it was?! Soooo.... we didnt answer the door and hid in my room until he was gone. :)

So thats my creepy stalker guy... We now have a note in big letters on the white board saying "Kristy, bring NO more strays home". lol. Anyways other than that, everything is alllll good :) I get tomorrow and the next day off. :P

See yas, EMAIL ME PEOPLE!

I went to church!

Hey!

Last night work went well, just a couple of little oops kinda moments but nothing major- I was in tower which is the one with all the buttons and I totally forgot to push the dispatch button... So i was kinda just sitting there vaguely wondering why they werent moving... then I realised and pushed it, the people in the front row noticed though and were laughing at me :). And one of the guys was at grouper and called me to ask something but he started off by saying "Hi, this is the manager, I just need to let you know you're doing a terrible job".... I believed him- it was my first time in tower!- And was like "....really?" Now apparently Im his favourite person to pick on! Fantastic. Im just some sort of abuse magnet lol. I spent 2 hrs 45 minutes in tower last night. It was crazy. Finished work at 10, came home and went to bed after scabbing some nutella covered marshmallows from Michelle. Then got up early this morning to go to church! Yay! We- me and Alex- got picked up at ten to 9 and driven to First Orlando Baptist, at least I think thats what its called... and went to a uni student cell group kinda thing, then into the service. It is HUGE. Like LIFE church only bigger, so I dont know if id want to be there every Sunday... though ill be working most of the time anyways. The people I went with though are lovely. Went out for lunch afterwards which was also really good, we went to a cafe kinda thing with REAL BREAD! It was soooo good.... Im already sick to death of sugary bread!!!

Anyways Id better go,
EMAIL ME!

Well that was annoying...

Argh My internet was playing up the other day so I typed my post into word planning on copying and pasting it once the internet decided it loved me again. Problem is, while the internet now loves me again, the copy paste obviously doesn't because it just wont work!!! So, the general gist was...

-Had my assessment, was cruisy as and I passed.
-Because I passed I now have my wings and no little red ribbon saying "earning my ears".
-One of my friends didn't pass because he had a not so nice assessor who was breathing down his neck and generally not being very helpful so he has to do another day of training and I feel sorry for the poor guy.
- I got invited to a superbowl party! But i cant go because Ill be working.
- And lastly, I am hopefully going to church tomorrow with a lovely girl named Alex from Melbourne. Well, the "from Melbourne" bit isnt part of her name. But yeah.

Ok now for the slightly more recent stuff.....................................................
Yesterday was my first day solo! It was fun! I ended up being greeter for ages which was fine by me because you dont have to think- thats the one where you stand out the front and talk to people and measure kids and stuff. Then I had queue greeter which was fun though I imagien it would get old quickly... I pretty much just stood there and watched everyone play games. They project Eye toy kinda games onto 5 screens on the wall that whoever is in front of that screen- all 30 or so people have to work together to play. I just enjoyed laughing at them waving their arms around like morons. :) Then I had merge... which is notorious because everyone hates it. If you are there on a busy day you just get abused lol. But it was kinda fun, the line was backed way up so I just got to talk to the people around me... while assuring everyone that yes, the line would move eventually. And that was pretty much my evening. I worked from 7- 1am. Then caught the bus home because J'Rhea- who was meant to be my ride home- left without me. :'(. I went to Hollywood Studios yesterday! It was fun! I went with Alex and her room mate. If you guys come over here you have got to go on rock'n'roller coaster. Soooo much fun. And we went on Tower of Terror the Twilight Zone. Sooo sooo sooo sooo sooo much fun! We were freaking out just a wee bit though lol. You get into this elevator and sit in the seats, strapped in, and go up this tower thats built to look like a dilapidated hotel. The doors open and you see all these stars then things get really trippy and a door appears and disappears... then you drive forward and look out the window and see right out over the park... then you drop. And go straight back up again. Then drop again and windows open and you see over the park again and it goes on like that for a wee bit. Its really cool! Scary. But cool! We saw the Beauty and the Beast show as well which was amazing... I have a bit of a craving for that movie now. It wasn't as good as Aladdin at Disneyland though. What else did we see... oh Star Tours! We saw a magical moment! Its a simulator ride kinda thing and there were these kids there that obviously lived and breathed Star Wars- kinda like Matty. Then Anikin- thats his name right? And some chick I don't know who she was but the kids obviously did, came out and started talking to them, then they rode the ride with them staying perfectly in character the whole time. The kids were sooo excited it was really cool! It was EPIC. Then it started raining really hard so we sloshed our way to the bus stop- which isnt under cover- and bussed back to Vista. Got some tea and went to work. Woohoo! That was kinda out of order but that was my day! Hope you all had a fantastic one! Oh and today is the day I get shot! :)

Wednesday, February 3, 2010

Heya

Sorry its been a couple of days but theres really not a lot to update!! I had yesterday and today off which was nice- though I really didnt do anything worthwhile... Yesterday I went to Walmart and stocked up on junk food :) I got donuts, pop tarts, ice cream, waffles..... haha oops... And sat and read my book all day, It was raining really really hard though so it wasnt so pathetic. Today I read all morning by the lake- theres this really nice wee pond thing out the back of our building with nice soft grass around it so I spend a fair bit of time sitting there. I was planning on spending the day at Animal Kingdom but that didnt quite happen so I waited for Jackie to wake up- 11am, slacker- then read some more while she went on a walmart mission. By the time we left for Animal Kingdom it was about 3pm... so about 4 by the time we got there. We did Everest- SUCH a cool ride- and went to see Nemo the musical which was really cool. Amazing how they translated the whole thing from screen to stage. There were lots and lots of bubbles. Cant say I was a HUGE fan of the music but everything else about it was mean. Then we realised it was extra amgic hours and we werent really meant to still be in the park so we caught the bus and came home again. Argh on the bus I was sitting between the two biggest people you have EVER seen. No, bigger than that! They were HUUUUGE! And they were all sweaty... my left shoulder was under an armpit. It was gross. Anyways! Now we are waiting for Renee so that we can go to the pizza buffet for tea. Again. Lol. Ill be just as big as the people on the bus by next January!!
Have a splendiferous day!
