a transitional period

I was just o'ercome with nostalgia and happiness from thinking of good times back on the Lane. The cul-de-sac will forever be my home.

yeah...it's awesome.

ok, here are some conclusions i've made while working at disney world:

1. little kids are ADORABLE!
2. little kids are MONSTERS!
3. parents are MONSTERS!
4. people are IDIOTS!
5. there is ALWAYS a real magical moment in there somewhere

you know how it is...for instance i met these two cutems little brothers ( 3 and 4 years old). the three year old was telling me all about his spiderman costume. dad says "he tells everyone he meets about it...he got it at like, halloween!" they were great...i actually didn't really have that many assholes or idiots today, come to think of it!

and this one little boy named  Michael who got one of those Disney temporary tattoos of Aurora. He was probably about 5 or so. I told him that Sleeping Beauty was my favorite too. and then I declared him a Jr. Warden and bestowed upon him a piece of cardstock with his name on it. he was very shy, but did know what an elephant was. vasquez wanted me to go do 25 Jr. Warden magical moments between 6 and 6:30 when i had to clock out. i ended up doing 11, it's hard when there are only 25 children in the park! jk, but seriously it was incredible that i got that many done...

i had a signal 4 this morning. i'm the "new crash" at Kilimanaro Safaris. it really wasn't that big of a one but i still got a discussion. and yes, the truck i hit wasn't parked in a real parking spot anyways, so it was a tricky ass maneuver as it is! i tore one of the rivets on the tarp...that's the extent of the damage. the running board of the other truck has like a 2 inch scuff on it. but i'm still super embarrassed. oy vey.

i SO TOTALLY almost got a GSF card today! 12 was coming to cheers 2 to tell me about my impending discussion. she tells me to come to the office after lunch. hakuna matata, not a reprimand, but it's required, like a coaching session when you fuck up. this girl and her boif (presumably) wait patiently while Kathy tells me this, and then she turns to them and they tell her all about how good I am and blah blah blah. Kathy goes to write something down at the trash can and i was like oh do it! GSF that shit! but she didn't...at least i don't think?

but yeah, i get told like, 8 times a day how great i am...teehee jk

no, but for serious: i'm awesome

listening to wizard people, dear reader, of course...

waiting for laundry to be done swooshing around inside a metal tub filled with water and detergent. remember old guy? well, here at the Disney College Program there's old guy. and older guy. and waaaaay older girl. there's at least 5 people over the age of 30, perhaps more, living in our complex alone, as well as one woman who is at least 60. i don't know how many are over at Vista, or the Commons, but it's funny. so we have our own band of old guys here at this satellite extension of "college."

i wish i knew what i wanted right now. and obviously, i wish i could know what i'd want 5 weeks from now and 5 months from now. but that is impossible. obviously. i can see into the future however: my vision says that i will become a lot more prolific and emo with my blogging.

it's disgusting how much fast food i've eaten while down here...ew. it's just so easy. and cheap. fuck. at least i always have subway during the day at work... :-\ pssh yeah right

guitar hero 3: legends of rock is pretty bomb. i can't wait to beat the shit out of it.

i made out with some gay friends at mannequins. the whole place was staring. some say my underwear shone at times...whatevs

we totally pimped OHRC (operational hourly ride capacity) challenge today. i got a million of a prizes, including a sweet mini blue light saber. bones.

i saw ghostbusters for the first time this evening...at dylan's house *sw00nz0rs*

i'm a dork....

by the way, this really is the best thing ever:

so these two dudes at work played a trick on me today in which one called launch base, telling the other one to call me at standby greeter and tell me that the manager had extended me to midnight, and sometimes they do that without asking...and i believed him...because i'm dumb. oops.

needless to say, i did not have to stay for t and a (test and adjust...but also tits and ass...you can't have rock n' rollercoaster without tits and ass, frankly) which wasn't even happening tonight, let alone until midnight. extension from 1:45 to midnight. how could i possibly have fallen for that. i'm a silly willy nilly, that's why.

i really hope my roommate isn't mad at me...

i would be most sad about this...

i also want to hang out with dylan...like, a lot...

he's adorable...

you're entering some dangerous territory, pilgrim. can't ever say ya didn't see it comin'. can't ever say i didn't warn ya.

it's also possible that said territory is not even remotely dangerous, and can be avoided with a simple detour. perhaps.

also, a chilling vision of my death:

I will die this way

i think i took someone out on a date on Halloween, but i'm not sure still...

considering the fact that i've never been on an actual date in my entire life...

i don't know what's going on.

i got my Family Holiday Celebration package in the mail, finally! sweet deals all around on food and drink, and also merriment throughout the magical world of disney...i also scored Coronado Springs at $58 a night for when Dr. Deb is visiting in december...

speaking of which, the Doctors Lavin are gonna be here on THURSDAY! i'm totally stoked...i did a little around the world fooding last night to get ready for this weekend....

Peru - Arroz con Pato - a wild rice with peas and carrots with roasted duck. The duck was splendid, quite tender with a little kick to it. The rice was crunchy and i don't know if that was on purpose, or because it was undercooked. No matter...it added a nice texture to the dish ;)

New Zealand - Lamb Slider - the roll it was on was phenomenal! A little crusty on the outside, and soft and slightly sweet on the inside. The lamb was done to perfection, and the mustard sauce had a nice little zing to it.

France - Escargots Persillade en Brioche and Quiche au Fromage de Chevre - HOLY BALLS! the snails just tasted like straight up garlic flavored butter in a delicious little bread bowl, holy crap they were good. The quiche was smooth with a slight bite to it from the tangy cheese, and the sweet, chewy sundried tomatoes. The crust was excellent.

Japan - Crispy Sukiyaki Beef Roll - very very good. the crispiness added good texture and the sauce was sweet and slightly spicy. excellent.

Poland - Kielbasa and Potato Pierogies - so good! the kielbasa was spicy and juicy, and the pierogies were soft and smooth with a slightly crisped envelope. yummers.

Turkey - Manti with Yogurt Sauce - really great....a ground beef ravioli with a smooth yogurt and paprika sauce...the yogurt sauce was almost like a sour cream, and the paprika added a nice kick. the ravioli itself was nice and moist, and yummers!

China - Pork Pot Stickers - wow! these were awesome. they were sweet and tangy, and perfectly fried yet also soft on the outside. definitely a more than one time deal!

today was my first real day at RNR...it was money in the bank! i was out at Greeter for a million years which sucked, but allowed for good guest interaction...truth be told, there's some opportunity in all positions, just not as in depth as Playhouse or (i guess) super greeting...

so for those people who thought i might get sick of it here: not happenin'...i was driving around, and a sense of mundanity (ha. maybe that'll catch on) struck me as in "oh, i'm just cruisin' down osceola parkway, because i live here" you know that kinda thing...but it still feels special and magical, frankly...so yeah i live in Disney World, and it's still amazing!

i'm so hungry!
