Um. Oops?

Hey guys!

Sorry I know its been a really really unforgivably long time!! Things have been so crazy busy around here its not even funny! So instead of writing out a HUGE big long email ill just type out the basic exciting happenings. Even though we all know Ill probably end up rambling lol. Ok Since I last wrote the following has happened.

- My family came! We went to the bahamas- plenty of drama around that one, ended up driving from Orlando to Miami, back to Orlando, back to Miami and back to Orlando again. Bahamas were incredibly amazing! The beach was gorgeous, just how it looks in the photos. We went to a pet shop in Miami that had snakes and lizards and fun stuff like that. Sooo soo many of them, it was crazy. I got to hold a snake which was pretty epic, although the boys were a bit too scared to because apparently "you cant pull anything off a snake like you can with other stuff". In other words, if it tried to bite them, they couldnt pull its legs off to get revenge. Little wusses those boys are... While they were here we also went to see some alligators, got to hold one of those too! Other than that it was pretty much just the theme park circuit! Was fun having them here, even if my sleep suffered a bit!

-I have been hanging out with work friends a LOT. This week alone we have been to a cast party and spent a day at the parks, gone on a day trip to the beach- sooo much fun, we dug a hole under the french boys towel. Highlight of the day when he tried to lie down :)- had a "Bring somehting you would eat at home" BBQ, and gone on a backstage tour of the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom. That was this morning. It was amazing. Easily worth getting up at 5 am for lol. We had to meet at MK at 6.15, and seeing as none of us knew how to get to the cast car park we left early. Good thing we did too, we listened to Rebecca too much and got lost at pretty much every corner! WE got shown how all of the effects are created. So so so clever, cant say too much on here cos it would ruin the magic though. AMAZING. Imagineers are my heroes. Then we went for breakfast and I ate too much french toast. THEN I was wandering back to my apartment, vaguely thinking about going for a swim and I ran into Bonnie who was moving apartments. Somehow I got roped into helping her, poor wee thing cant lift anything to save her life :(. It was fun though and she gave me icecream so we are all good. That is a very brief over view of the excitement of my crazy life in the house of mouse. Oh! Brittany and Amber both arrive tomorrow so that will be fun! I think a Universal trip is on the cards.
Anyways, Email me you slackers :)
Love you all!

4th of July!

Hey!

So its now the 5th of July. That means yesterday was the 4th! And it was epic! Lol. Ok so I knew I wasnt going to see the fireworks because I was going to be at work so I went to see them on the 3rd at Magic Kingdom instead because they had a preview kinda thing. Me, Christian, John, Lindsay, Dianna, Chris and Melissa- I think that was all?- drove to the Contemporary and ran up to the roof to watch them from there. It was so amazing. There were fireworks right around the park rather than just over the castle like usual and there was music and the fireworks were incredible and it was pretty much just fantastic. There was a girl sitting on her dads shoulders who, about halfway through, decided to announce "These are really pretty but can someone PLEASE scratch my foot?!" Lol. Then we went downstairs and I got a free drink because the girl at the checkout was nice. Dianna squeaks when you tickle her. Sunday, the 4th, I went to church with Alex and Christian then out for lunch to Sweet Tomatoes- again. :) Church was interesting, because it was 4th of July it was all really really patriotic, they sang the national anthem and a whole lot of "God Bless America, Isnt America Great" kind of songs, none of which I knew. After lunch I went to a BBQ at Mickeys Retreat with my work friends. I was pretty late so most of the food had gone- not that I was hungry having eaten at Sweet Tomatoes- and everyone was out playing Volleyball which I though I just might throw up if I attempted. I ended up sitting at the table with Lindsay Sam and Patrick talking about stuff. Drama. So so much drama. Ridiculous. Work was funny, I ended up stuck out the front for most of the night which I usually really really dont like but lots of cool people were out there so it was fine. We were all pretty tired so we were trying to keep ourselves awake and entertained. We ended up thinking of random words and challenging each other to use them in coherent, noncreepy sentences to the guests. Turnip, funnel, flabby, gregarious, luminous and antidisestablishmentarialism got us past the 12am mark lol. One guy was just way too good though, we didnt stump him once! Almost got him with "flabby" but not quite. :) Oh well Id better go get ready for work. Love you all!

And another couple of weeks have flown on by

Once again, sorry, I forgot to update/have been a bit busy/couldnt be bothered. But whats been going on recently? I have 3 days left of work at Soarin which to be honest Im pretty gutted about. I decided on moving because there didnt seem to be any cool people coming in and because I would have gotten really bored staying there until January. But now cool people have popped up out of nowhere and I dont want to leave!! Im moving to the Towers gift shops which are these two matching gift shops at the edge of world show case. I get to wear a shirt with flags all over it and white shorts up to my waist with the shirt tucked in. I am also going to have to become the proud owner of a pair of white shoes. Ugh. In other news, My family is currently at the Niagara Falls but they are slowly making their way down here. So excited! Honestly cant wait to see them! Pretty sure everyone over here has heard enough about it to last them a life time! Yesterday three of the guys from work - Jeremy, Michael and Greg- went to Mickeys Retreat and played tennis. It was so much fun, felt really good to be doing something outside lol. Except that we were dumb/keen enough to do it in the middle of the day so it was REALLY hot and muggy outside. We were all so gross and sweaty by the end of it. Was fun though! I had quite a productive day actually, I made brownies and I did my laundry and I tidied my room a wee bit and I did my assignment for class and I read some Harry Potter. Then I went to work which, because we were all working so late, we had all decided to bring cakes. Thats what I made brownies for. So we had a LOT of cake. We were all on a huge sugar rush but then around 11pm we all crashed pretty hard lol. Wasnt maybe the smartest idea of all time. Was good while it lasted though!!! And today me and 5 of the other girls from work are going to Beaches and Cream which is an icecream parlour kind of place. They make whats called the Kitchen Sink which is a scoop of every kind of icecream and all of the toppings in a bowl shaped like a sink. Its HUGE. Noone ever finishes it but we think we are up to the challenge!!! So thats in an hour or so. Im still in bed :). Oh!! I didnt tell you about Harry Potter! Universal Studios has opened a new area called the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Its all themed and set up like Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. The day it opened my room mates waited 8 hours to get in. Just to get in, thats not for the rides or anything. It is so amazing. I got Butterbeer and ate at the 3 broomsticks and saw Ollivanders and Zonkos. The new ride they made for it is incredible. Its inside Hogwarts castle and the queue goes through Hogwarts which is awesome. THere are moving paintings and everything. The ride itself is insane, I dont even know how to start to explain it... You sit on a bench and fly all over the place, past dementors and a basilisk and through a quidditch game. But that makes it sound lame. I just cant explain it properly. AAAAAmazing. Yesterday it was raining really hard so I wore a rain coat to work. I took it off when I got on the bus then when I got off the bus I put it back on. Only thing was that I put in on inside out. All the rain ended up on the inside. But yeah thats pretty much everything for the last few days! 4th of July on Sunday so thats going to be fun. Even though I wont see the fireworks or anything. I kinda really want to see the fireworks!! Oh well. Im going to do somehting productive now. Bye!
