A lovely little fail for you all...

Hey guys!

So not a lot of interest has been happening recently, hence the update drought. Basically just been working a lot and hanging out in my time off. But now its my weekend. Yesterday I went for a walk to the outlets- well, really I went to do my grocery shopping and got distracted by the outlets on the way. Did a wee bit off shopping, had taco bell for lunch which was certainly a momentous occasion, then finally actually went shopping. The bus didnt come when I wanted it to so I thought stuff this, I only have 3 heavy bags of groceries plus the stuff I bought at the outlets, and its only about 30 degrees. Ill walk. Ha. Ha. Ha. I am silly. Not to mention that by the time I got home all 6 of the eggs Id bought had broken. But thats not even the fail I mentioned in the title of this post. Today- My Sunday- I was bored so I thought it would be nice to walk to Mickeys Retreat, take some food and a book and blob there for the afternoon. I walked over there- its about a 30-35 minute walk- to discover the park was closed for the graduations. So that was annoying. I ended up jumping a couple of hedge lines and small pondy swampy things to hang out in the Mary Queen of the Universe Catholic Church garden. It wasnt really all that nice though so I only spent an hour or so reading there. Besides the bench I was sitting on was concrete and really not very comfortable. THEN I walked home and had the bright idea of going barefoot. I had also gone barefoot on the way there by the way... Problem was the ground was really really hot. Now I have blistered feet. So to sum up my day, I walked for ages, burnt my feet and crashed a garden. I think Ive turned into Kate. ;) Epic fail right there... Anyways. Yeah really nothing interesting going on!!

Howdy folks.

Hoooowdy folks! Its my Saturday and all is ticking along fabulously :). Had a most wonderful day off. First- and this was a very important part of the wonderfulness- I slept until 12. Then I toodled over to Brittanys to hang with her Rebecca and Bonnie. While we were there Rebecca and Brittany were talking about their plans for Rebecca to roadtrip to Michigan with Brittany when her programme ends in June. Somehow, it got decided that I am going to go with them. Only problem is, its the exact same time as my room mates are going to New York. SO New York has gone down the drain for the moment in favour of an epic road trip to... uh... Michigan. Rebecca is going to New York in January so Ill go with her then maybe. But yeah I told the room mates and I dont think they were too concerned, sounds like it solves a lot of the problems that they were having- 4 in a room works a lot better than 5- so hopefully I wont be disowned. Bonnie might be coming on the road trip too. It will be so much fun. Bonnie is hilarious, shes little and Korean and cute but shes been picking up on how we all talk so some of the stuff that comes out of her mouth just doesnt seem to fit. She made us noodles today that apparently "failed". In a korean accent. Well it doesnt fail in a korean accent, she says "failed" in a korean accent.... you know what I mean. She also gave me and Brittany back massages. At the same time. She used her feet on me. Then made me give her a leg massage. Which was kinda weird. Hahaha she did our hair all koreanish as well, I had this epic as top knot... I kinda looked like a cross between Mulan and some kind of trailer trash hillbilly. We have lots of fun plans for our road trip. We are going to have KFC in Kentucky. :). Um what did I do for the rest of the day.... blobbed on the couch eating junk and watching movies until I got a txt wanting to know if I wanted to go to Bible Study. I figured I may as well seeing as lying on the couch watching movies wasnt really a very constructive way to spend my evening. We were really really late, I had to go stand outside because I was having a massive coughing fit, tried to come back in, the door had locked behind me. Was standing at the door kinda pathetically because they were doing the worship so everyone had their eyes closed and I didnt really want to bang on the door. Eventually some heathen who had their eyes open came over and let me in again, just in time for me to start really needing to cough again. Of course by now theyd moved on to praying, so I really really REALLY didnt want to have a coughing fit. I was trying soooo hard not to cough that by the end I had tears streaming down my face and everyone was all like "are you ok"?!? They probably all thought I was having some sort of Holy Spirit moment or something... No... just dying... lol. So yeah that was fun... And now Im home again, updating all of you special people on the oh so interesting moments in my life. Oh! As far as "Famous People sightings" go, I had a few famous people in my gates the last few weeks that I forgot to tell you all about. Problem was I didnt know who they were... apparently everyone else does though. Um. Joey from NSync, Hooty from Hooty and the Blowfish? I think that was what it was... Dont laugh if I got that wrong... Dog the Bounty Hunter? Um yeah. Plus a couple of random Disney Channel people. And Barak Obama rode but I didnt see him. :) Im holding out for someone really really super cool to be in my gate.... I think Taylor Swift has been the most exciting one so far. One of the guys is adamant that she winked at him in the utility closet.
Anyways I think thats about all the interestingness for the moment. Going to make the most of doing nothing as I can today and tomorrow because this next week is going to be very busy!!
Bye!! Email me, this blogging thing is really one sided!

UNIVERSAL

Good afternoon my minions.

How is everything thing in Kiwiland treating you all? Good? Fantastic. Argh I cant think what I said last time..... But ill assume it was before the sleep over and Universal trip so Ill start there. Got home from work the other night to find the lounge had been totally transformed... all our mattresses were in here, our teddy bears, everything. It was awesome. Not to mention all the junk food that Stacey had won at grocery bingo. They were playing some random game which I had missed most of but all good. Anyways the sleepover was fun, except that everyone fell asleep really really quickly. Then we woke up early the next morning, sleepwalked our way through getting dressed and such before we piled into the taxi and drove to UNIVERSAL. It was so much fun, awesomely epic to get out of the Disney bubble. And the rides are fantastic. Yay for good roller coasters. Dueling Dragons was my favourite I think, its 2 rollercoasters in one that kinda twist around each other and race each other and stuff. Its mean. You have to ride twice though. Good thing theres no line. There was another one called Rock it which was pretty cool too, you get to choose your own soundtrack for the ride which blasts in your ears. I didnt think it was quite fast enough though... was still fun! Only problem with the day was that now my room mates are annoyed with me... Kinda ditched them. I really wanted to go on a few rollercoasters and things that they werent so keen on so I just went and did them by myself. But now they arent really talking to me. Oh well, it'll sort itself out. Oh! There was a Special Effects Makeup show on too! I went to see it with Alex, she came as well but met us there and left early... Ditched the room mates to hang out with her too. Ooops.So funny just how Un Disney the place is, its almost like theyve sat down and been like, well disney does this this and this. Lets do the opposite. One of the guys in the show absolutely soaked a little kid with a water pistol and was like "This isnt the magic kingdom. I dont have to be nice to kids". It was great. After that I went to Christian and Johns for tea which was really good, Christians old room mate made pasta. There were quite a few people there, we all just hung out and talked and played a random game. I educated a few of them on the wonders of Hamish and Andy once everyone else had left. Oh gosh, I stopped a family at merge the other day and it turned out they were Kiwis. So was talking to them........ apparently Im getting an accent. NOT GOOD!!!
Anyways I should really go do something productive before Extra Tragic Hours... Bye!

Today is.... Uhhh.... Monday?

I swear, time here has no meaning. We never have any idea of what day it is. Makes it a bit tricky to remember to go to church and such!! Anyways. What has been happening in the house of mouse? I got really really super bored the other day and made a kiwi out of blue tack. It took two packets of the stuff... good thing Danny and Cammy were so unoriginal with my Christmas present!!! For anyone who doesnt know, my brother and cousin both gave me a packet of blutac for Christmas. Im pretty sure they went to the Warehouse and grabbed two of anything they could find. SO yeah it finally came in useful. The beautiful, bright blue kiwi now stands guard over the Soarin break room from on top of the tv. His name is Kapai. The only problem is that, being made of bluetac, Kapai is kinda flexible and easy to alter. Currently he is masquerading as an elephant. Stupid Nick. He has cardboard ears and tail. The elephant. Not Nick. Um what else. We are going to Universal on Wednesday!!! Its going to be super epic! We are having a sleepover on Tuesday night before hand so we are inviting a few people over, putting our mattresses on the floor, watching movies and eating junk food until ridiculously late. Then we are going to drink energy drinks and be hyper all around Universal. Going to be such a good weekend! We are all very excited. Ummm yeah so thats pretty much it I think! Ohh! One last thing, yesterday at work I snuck up behind the guy at merge and zapped him in the sides as I walked past on my way to break. Apparently he got a call from the coordinator asking if he wanted to file for harassment!!!! Lol I thought that was hilarious! Well, I did once I didnt get called to see the manager! lol. I had it all worked out though, I was going to say it was part of my culture. Lol dont know if it would have worked but it would have been worth a try!!
Hope you guys are good!

Sorry, its been a while...

So! First order of business..... CREEPY MCSTALKER GOT TERMED! For non-disney affiliated people, termed is short for terminated. Fired. Sent home to stalk someone else. In the world of emoticons I am colon capital D. :D. Jared, his room mate, had been away for a couple of weeks so I didnt hear about it until about a week after it happened. So happy. I can go see Goofy and not be like... aaaaaaaaaaaaargh. Other happenings in my life... Im trying to remember how long ago I updated and what I said... Sorry if I say stuff Ive already said! I went to church on Easter which was kinda cool, Rebecca came with so that was awesome. Honestly though, easter without Easter Camp is so weird. Its just not right without pigging out on pies for lunch or moshing to satellite. Wow its been a week since I updated!! I just figured out I could open another window you see... Yeah so on Easter we had an easter egg hunt :) That was funny, Jackie gets soooo over excited about such things. Had really really long days at work the last couple of days- an 11 hour then a 13 hour day. Glad its the weekend. Yesterday was my Saturday so I spent the morning mucking around then went to Hollywood Studios with Jared. Saw the Indiana Jones show which was pretty epically awesome, lots of fire and fun stuff. Oh! And we went to the American Idol Experience lol. Its like American Idol, they audition people every morning and have shows all day and the final at night. We went to one of the shows. It was pretty cheesy but kinda cool. Then me and Michelle and Stacey went to Cicis for tea. I bullied them into coming because I wanted pizza. It was the second night in a row theyd eaten there lol. Ate way way way too much to the point where I thought I might be sick- it was just sooo soooo sooooo good.... the problem was on the way home there were sprinklers right across the foot path. You know the ones that kinda turn around slowly? We were trying to run at the right times to miss them but ended up getting soaking wet. So we were running- getting stitch- Laughing so hard that our stomachs hurt, and feeling like we were going to throw up all at the same time. So so so so painful! Then we were very very hyper and Jackie came home all depressed from working at the green box of doom and wanted pringles so we went on a pringles mission and bought liquorice and 2 tubes of pringles because we couldnt decide which flavour and all kinds of other crap. I think we scared the people there a wee bit. We booked our accomodation for Daytona! And our transport. And soon we are going to book flights and accom for NEW YORK!!!!! YAY! And then me and Rebecca are thinking about going to Canada. And there is maybe a mission to Memphis in there too... :)
Soooooooo I think Im going to request more overtime lol.
Hope everything is going awesomely!
Miss you all, but not enough to want to come home!!

So. Its Easter. This is wrong.

This is so strange. Its Good Friday and Im not in a tent, Im not wearing 3 layers of polyprop and Im not moshing to satellite. Im not eating pizza for lunch. Im not at Easter Camp. Its such a weird feeling.... kinda getting a bit homesick now. I want homeness. :( I WANT A NZ HUG. Today I went to Walmart with Christian Patrick and Patricks English girlfriend who I cant remember her name... I needed to buy easter eggs for the flat mates. So that will be fun. Mission successful. Then we went to Chick-fil-a for lunch which was pretty good. Came home. Went to work. Came home. Sitting here hoping James gets his butt online sometime soon! Plenty more to update on but in a pretty crap mood so maybe another day!
Love you all
