I love Days off
Well, its not really a day off. Today and yesterday is my weekend but I picked up shifts because Im a special child. I worked 12.30-9.15 yesterday which was awesome because I was with Perry all night and hes my favourite. Annnnd also because everyone else was working 10am-12.45pm so I got to laugh at them :). It was a good day. I was literally in gates alllllll day. Tonight Im working a 5 hour shift at Magic Kingdom on a parade so that should be interesting... Jackie was meant to do one last night and tell me how it went but she chickened out. Wuss. So now I have to be the first one to figure everything out!! SCARY! MK has the tunnels! I dont know how to use those! And I dont know what costume I need... and I need to go to Walmart today. This is going to be epic. Um what else is happening... Its pretty much impossible to catch people online now, so annoying! Jackie made macaroni and cheese pizza. Ew. I made jelly. Me and Rebecca are going to make a Papier Mache Kiwi on wheels and tow it around on a leash as our mascot. It will be awesome. Christian was bored the other day so I told him to make a spaceship. He did. :P Oh! I went to church on Sunday and they pretty much had a broadway production as the worship haha. It was awesomely epically funny. Imagine a livewires drama then times it by 37 million and add shiny things and lights. It was basically the Easter story. Judas sang a song. It was incredibly well written, the church had written it themselves which was pretty awesome. I guess Im just not used to churches having talent lol. :P Dont tell certain people I said that lol. Other epicness in the life of Kristy... We went to Earl of Sandwich the other day after work. It was AMAZING. Everyone raves about it and I could never understand how a sandwich could be good enough to warrant all the hype. Trust me. It deserves it. So going there again. Jackie just gave me a packet of animal crackers :) Yay. Michelle whacked me over the head repeatedly with a roll of gladwrap last night when I was trying to go to bed. Jackie has an obsession with wrapping a scarf around her head and telling us shes pretending shes in a convertible. Caryl left her timtams on the table so weve kinda decided they are fair game. Sarah has been strangely absent recently, havent seen her in a while. Stacey has been moved from mission space to blizzard beach and now gets the wear the funniest costume ever created. Actually thats a lie. The animal kingdom ones are funnier. But yeah thats about it!! Have an awesome Easter guys... and the holiday that goes with it. Gutted I cant come to EC with you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This will be soooooo strange... Easter and not freezing to death in a tent! No Sunday Pieday??? No Friday Pizza day? No Saturday icky filled rolls day? No Monday American hot dogs day??????? NO PIES ON EASTER!!!??? I think ill cry. Lol. Have fun guys.

Extra Tragic hours.....again
Ello Poppet!
I almost wrote "Poopet" instead but I noticed and changed it. Probably a good thing huh? Anyways! So what have I been up to recently? For some super smart reason I decided it would be a good idea to pick up an opening shift for yesterday morning. SO I did the whole 6 hours of sleep thing, dragged myself to work where I was a zombie all morning and finished at 12.30. Bussed home and stuffed around until 5 when, hey guess what, I got on the bus to go back to work for my original shift. Which didnt finish until 12.45am. Maybe not the smartest idea. I was absolutely fine and in a super good mood until about 10, then I just crashed. I was doing my staring into space thing all the time lol. But then I went on gates and managed to wake up a bit more. Especially when the nights epic moment happened. Me Rebecca Nitin and Brandon were on A side. Brandon has a bit of an obsession with jumping out at people so he was waiting, crouched on the floor, for Rebecca to come through the door. Door opens, he goes RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHR!!!! Its the maintenance guy. Fail. We were all laughing so hard we had to kinda go hide in the utility closet for a bit to compose ourselves. That kept us entertained for the rest of the night... Oh! The same guy- wow he was on good form last night lol- was doing a magical moment so brought a family around the back and put them in the front row. I went up and started talking to them and they were kinda looking at me funny. Then one of them says "You speak english?" I was like ummm yeah? Apparently Brandon had told her that I was from NZ so I couldn't speak english at all. She believed him. Rolls eyes.
The other night I was half asleep and Michelle came in so I made her tuck me in. That was all good until I realised that I couldnt move and that she had a white board marker in her hand. Which was soon all over my face.
We booked bus tickets to Daytona!! Yay! Holiday! We are booking flights to New York next week! Super yay!!! I want to go to Jamaica Ive decided.
And that, my friends, is pretty much the life of Kristy! Come back for more ridiculously epic episodes!
Bye! Love you all!

Went to the moooooovies
Yesterday was just your average day really, b-e-a-utifully sunny so I spent the morning blobbing under a tree by the lake, I think thats probably going to become my hang out spot. Its really nice down there and is about the only place I can get to that isnt motorways and crowds of people. Worked in the evening then got talked into going to see Remember Me. It has Robert Pattinson in it- you know, the gross guy off Twilight who everyone seems to be obsessed with? He kinda reminds me of Gollum but anyways....I only went because I heard how it ends. But I actually really enjoyed it!!! It was a really good movie. Even though it was another "make you bawl your eyes out" kinda deal, stupid Tara and her movie picking skills... or lack there of. We got pretzels before we went. They were goooooood. They are only a dollar for cast members which is awesome :). Today is an apartment inspection again, everyone else cleaned up last night so I had to clean the bathroom and redo the sweeping and mopping this morning. Which meant I had to get up at 8. Which, seeing as I got home at 1 last night, wasnt so much fun. All good though, Ill go to bed early tonight because dun dun dunnnnnn.... ITS MY SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN GO TO WALMART!!!!!!!!! I can get food again!!! Haha Jackie had to give me food yesterday for my lunch because I ran out of "take to work" kinda food. It was awesome, my tea was chips, cookies, a cinnamon roll and an apple. Argh Im really sleepy. I might go take a nap until the bus comes!! Night night!

Mum, Dad, It SO hasnt been a week!
Mum and Dad, I updated on the 20th. That was... 3? Days ago. Not a week like you tried to tell me! Get with the programme :). I havent updated in the last couple of days because really, I have no news. Seriously, none. Me Brittany Claudia and Bonnie went out for mexican the other night after work- spicy food at 11.30 at night. Yay us lol. It was soooo good. Also absolutely hilarious, Bonnie is Korean and speaks quite limited English which we all give her crap for. Thing is though, shes picked up on certain bits of the English language that she maybe shouldnt know. You havent been sworn at until youve been sworn at by a small korean who has no idea what shes saying!! We spent the night trying to explain why she shouldnt say any of this stuff at work, especially not around guests! It was Rebeccas birthday yesterday so they went out for tea at TRex. Thats a restaurant at Downtown Disney. Thing was Rebecca and quite a few of the others had the day off so they made the booking for 8.45 which meant I missed it because I was at work :(. So that was sad. I really really really need to go to the supermarket. I have pasta and rice and half a thing of pasta sauce, 3 cookies and a poptart left. I have run out of absolutely everything else! Chicken, mince, eggs, waffles, fruit, cheese..... honestly, EVERYTHING!! But I cant go until tomorrow. Yay for days off. :) ITS MY FRIDAY. Anyways, there we go, another pointless load of trivial nothingness.
Hope New Zealand hasnt disappeared off the face of the earth!!
Miss you all
Kristy the incredible

Yet more hours of extra magicalness
Extra Magic Hours... gotta love em. Have to say though last night was the most fun Ive had at work in ages. I was closing gates with Marcus and Kyle... it was all had to be there stuff but was absolutely hilarious. Kyle informed us all that he hasn't changed his costume since our first day of training. As in, 2 months ago. He hasn't washed it or anything. And he couldn't understand how I found that disgusting! Everyone else changes their shirt everyday and their pants and blazer a couple of times a week. That is SO GROSS! Jrhea smacked me in the face with the door to the intercom and phone cupboard. Every time I was looking at Marcus he epic failed in one way or another. Nitin was at Merge so Kyle was calling him saying all sorts of random stuff, Nitin was talking back in Arabic. Got a ride home after work with Kyle who reluctantly let Nitin come too because he begged. Then Nitin spent the whole way home trying to talk Kyle into stopping at Taco Bell. That was work. Oh and I managed to get my second break right when Illuminations was on so I saw lots of fireworks :). It was a gorgeously sunny day so I went and read a book in the sun by the lake, keeping one eye out for Creepy McStalker. Good thing my eyes are messed up, I can literally keep one eye out for him! Lol. Joking. Yeah that was pretty much my day I think. Im still planning on making Oreo Balls one of these days. Actually I dont think I wrote about that on here yet... the other night when I was at Bible study Christian made Oreo balls. And they are amazing. And he told me how to make them. So as soon as I get some oreos and cream cheese and chocolate Im making some. I went to Rebeccas the other day too, the plan was to go to the outlets but it was raining so we ended up just hanging out, then we got hungry so decided to be american and make grilled cheese. Which is pretty much a toasted sandwich made in a frying pan because they dont know what toastie makers are. Honestly, most awkward way to make a toasted sandwich EVER!!! You have to get the heat just right or either the cheese doesn't melt or the bread burns. Then you have to flip the stupid thing!! We ended up microwaving them first so the cheese melted, then frying them to make them toasted. It worked ok, but really, this is America. Everything else is done the easiest way possible! Why not sandwiches??

Kristy has a day off.
Woohoo I love days off. They are pretty much the highlight of my life. So anyways I went to Bible Study on Tuesday night which was great, it was one I hadnt made it to yet because I usually work Tuesdays. It was at John and Christians apartment which is right across the road from Chatham and Patterson and Commons- all of the housing complexes except Vista. We are our own special little loner complex. Anyways that made it pretty easy to get to, I did end up walking because Im a rebel, but I didnt get mugged. I thought that would be taking rebelling a little bit too far. The bible study itself was really good, we read right through the book of Esther then discussed it and stuff. Just a small group of people, maybe 8 or 9? I went into usual Kristy at Bible Study mode and kept my mouth shut, but there was some really interesting discussion. Then the study itself ended and we ate oreo balls which were flipping amazing... Im going to make some next time I go to the supermarket. Discussion then turned to church politics of which I knew nothing and I had been awake since 6.30 am with 5 hours sleep so I was trying very very hard not to fall asleep. Christian drove me home. Yesterday was my day off for the week seeing as I picked up a shift for today. I realised that I hadnt been to the outlets yet so I walked over there and had a bit of a look around. I was amazed. I thought they were going to be really lame but honestly, Id be just as happy shopping there as at the mall and its way closer and easier to get to. I bought a dress. I walked to Commons from there and caught the bus because it was looking like it was about to bucket and happened to see Taylor and Tabitha who reminded me that I had agreed to go out with them to some club thing that night. Ugh. Really not a fan of clubbing... me and dancing arent friends. But anyways I kinda resigned myself to the fact that I was going, found out that the bus was leaving at 11pm and I went home. Problem is, I fell asleep reading at about 9.30 ish and didnt wake up until Paul skyped me at about 10.15. I ended up bailing, I wouldnt have had time to get changed and get over to Chatham to catch the bus. And besides, I wanted to talk to Paul!! So yeah, Im going to get yelled at at work today :).
Oh and theres a weird full time guy at work who apparently likes me. UGH.
The end.

Ahhhhh boo!
Hey!
Well that was a fun couple of shifts. Last night I was closing so I worked 3.45 to 9.45. I went in early because... guess what?? EPCOT GOT A MANATEE!!!! I really wanted to sing the duggong song but I didnt really think anyone over here would appreciate it... and I didnt bring my duggong shirt with me sadly. Duggong, duggong, its the cow of the sea ea ea, duggong, duggong, also known as the manatee! It doesnt have wings. That would be silly. Doesn't live in a tree, that would also be sill. Compared to the dolphin -its very close cousin- it's quite uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.... ok theres my musical moment for the evening. Thankyou. Thankyou very much. :) So yeah I went to see the manatee which was pretty much the highlight of my life. It was eating lettuce. Then I had to go to work which was weird, I was in tower pretty much all night. I tried to swap with Rachel near the end of the night so that me and Perry could be gate buddies but she said no. :(. Perry then gave me and Brittany a ride home. We three are the super cool walking group. We walk super speedy through the park to catch the bus- or get to Perrys car as the case may be. He only gives me and Brittany rides home though because we are his favourites. Hes our favourite too though so its all fair. I got home to discover that Stacey was on the bus that I would have been on and it had broken down. It ran out of petrol. What kind of bus driver lets the bus run out of petrol?!?!? So Perry is officially my hero. Then I tried to sleep and it didnt work. I ended up getting 5 hours sleep before my alarm went off at 6.30 am. Stupid work schedule people decided to schedule me an opening right after a close. Oh well, it might fix my sleep patterns a wee bit. So yeah worked again this morning, it went really really fast for some reason. Marcus gave me a ride home, bless his little cotton socks, I came inside all motivated to get organised to go shopping for Kate and Samantha and Dads birthday presents...... and somehow ended up on facebook on the couch eating a burger. Hmmm. America is rubbing off on me I think! But it was all good because I caught Kate online which made my day super sparkly. Im not sure if I mentioned this already, ignore me if I did, but the time difference has changed for anyone trying to catch me online, you guys are now 7 hours behind, tomorrow, instead of 6. So its annoying. And soon it will be 8 instead of 7. Gah. In other news, apparently one of the weird guys at work was asking one of the full timers if she thought Id go out with him. ARGH! ARGH! and triple ARGH! And............ I had another great spark of inspiration then but now its gone. Oh well. Id better go get myself vaguely organised for Bible Study... I have been told I have to try not to get mugged so I guess that means I shouldnt walk :) Aren't I good. Haha I was talking to that darling brother of mine on facebook chat the other day and the first thing he says to me is "Whos this using Kristys computer? Have you found out who murdered her yet?" Just lovely he is!!
Anyways Id better stop boring you with my ramblings!
Go stop procrastinating! Do your work!
