There was a party and a wonderful mother!

Hello everyone! 

Last night, my group got together and we went to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween! It was super fun! We all had pretty neat costumes and had loads of fun. There was a parade, a stage show with the villains, trick-or-treating around the park and lots of characters around to meet. 

We started the night by going to a comedy show by the characters from Monsters, Inc. It was so funny! I loved it and recommend it to anyone that ever visits Walt Disney World. After that, we went to meet some of the princesses. And they had their princes with them! I got to meet Cinderella and her Prince Charming, Snow White and her Prince Charming, and Rapunzel and Flynn Rider!!! He was very dashing and Rapunzel commented on my pointe shoes! She asked if I would come to her dance class on Friday. I wish she was serious because I would love to go to a ballet class with Rapunzel. 

Anyway, after that, we walked around and began to figure out what else we wanted to do for the night. A few people got food and then we saw the HallowWishes Fireworks Spectacular. After that, I went to meet Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip! I have been dying to meet him so I got a few pictures with just him before adding in Princess Aurora. She was very nice about me having a crush on him. 

After meeting my royal crush, we caught the Villains show on the Castle stage. We even got some pictures of Minnesota with her twin, Cruella De Vil. It was so funny to see two Cruellas next to each other, especially since Minnesota's boyfriend was dressed as a dalmatian. After that, we moved to a different area to watch the Boo To You Parade. 

By the time that parade was over, we started some Trick-Or-Treating but my legs were aching and I had work early the next day. Florida worked an evening, Minnesota and her boyfriend had today off, Texas didn't get to come with us because of work, and my other two friends didn't have work early or at all. But either way, I had the earliest work time out of all of us to be up so I needed some sleep. We split up into those that wanted to head home and those that would stay. Once home, I changed, wiped my make-up off, and passed out.

And so far, today has been a bit of a normal day.. I dealt with some emotions but its just one of those days and I'm over it.

Now, I would like to do something for a special lady. 

Today is my mother's birthday and for some reason, it's pretty tough to be away from her this year on her birthday. I miss her a lot and hope she has a great birthday. I couldn't ask for a better mother and love her sooo much! She's done so much for me and I hope my flowers and present can show her just a fraction of how much I love and appreciate her. She's such a strong woman and I love talking to her. I may be an Oklahoma Princess but my mother is the Queen! She will always be the best woman in my life and I hope that she has a great day. Smile, mom! I love you x1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!!!!!!!!!

There was a new character.

So we have met our new roommate and she is very neat. 

I am going to be calling her Minnesota. She works over in EPCOT with Team Possible, the Kim Possible scavenger hunt. She moved out of her old apartment because the girls there were more like villains than princesses. She couldn't live in an evil lair so she moved over to our palace.

When I got home from work on Sunday, her things had been moved in but she had already left for work so I was left in anticipation all day! Her stuff looked pretty neat and I was very excited about meeting her. When she finally got home, we all decided to sit around and chat to get to know each other better. Florida had been here when she moved in and had talked with her some but Texas and I had been at work that morning so we had to wait until that evening to meet her. 

She's very funny, nice, smart, and has unique quirks like the rest of us. She also brought some board games for us to play! We're so excited. 

Yesterday, Florida and I had the day off so we went out in the morning to run some errands. We got my bangs trimmed, picked up a costume at Wilderness Lodge for Florida (she's work two days at the Wilderness Lodge merchandise store), and ran to Walmart to get some supplies and find Florida a costume for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party! We've got a big group going! It's going to be so much fun!

After our errands, we grabbed some Steak And Shake for lunch and went home. Then we got a hold of Minnesota's boyfriend, who I will call Minnesota man. He had the day off and so did one of his roommates. So then we decided to go to EPCOT and bother our new roomie. We got there and wondered around some, finding Minnesota at one of the tents for the Kim Possible game. Florida, Texas, and I are apparently somewhat famous among her co-workers as being the new roomies that are much better than her villainous ones. So after she had to move locations, we went and rode some rides and wondered the World Showcase. It was raining somewhat and we got drenched. It was a fun day but it would have been better without the rain. 

So after we had run out of things to do, Florida, Minnesota man's Louisiana roommate, and myself decided to go home. We got home, dropped off Louisiana, went to our apartment, put on our pajamas and watched some TV. Then Minnesota and her man came home and we hung out for a while before everyone got tired and decided that it was bedtime.

And today is going to be a fun day! It's the night we get to go to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween!! We're all dressing up and it's a totally random group of costumes. We've got Cleopatra, Cinderella, a ballerina, Cruella De Vil, and the two guys going with us are still unsure but we'll figure something out for them. You can't go to a Halloween party at Disney without getting dressed up! I think one of them plans to be Thor and the other one is still unsure. He might be the Beast after his transformation back into a human.... I'll let everyone know what happened soon.

So we're all gathering at the apartment around 4 to start getting ready and then it's Halloween party time! And yes, we know it's not Halloween yet but we got cast member discounts for the month of September so we're doing it anyway. Besides, it makes the holiday last longer!

Alright. I'll let everyone know how things went! Love you all!!

There was a plot twist!

Hi everyone. So it's been almost a week and a half since my last update and I have some stuff to report. Alright. So since my last update, a few new things have happened and I hope I can remember them all.

So, after my last post, the next few days were pretty normal with just work and relaxing afterwards. I'd come home, see who wasn't at work or had already finished work. I'd change out of my uniform, put on my pjs, sit in the living room, and just relax until it was time to start prepping for bed. I've been talking with my Bestest Friend Ever (I'm gonna call her Vegas (And yes, I know that it should be a state to match the rest of my pattern but she's special! She's so special I put parentheses inside parenthesis!)).  But yeah, Vegas and I have been chatting and missing each other very much! Now I love it when 7:30 rolls around and she gets home from her job so we can chat. 

So yeah, I've been talking to Vegas a lot more recently and the days haven't been too strange. Then Tuesday rolled around. Florida and I both had the day off and we were both soooo excited because it was the Season 9 Premiere of NCIS!! Woohoo!! Her and I are both very excited for that show and made that our major plan for the whole day. 

Then Wednesday came and Florida and I both had the day off again. We had made plans to go out with another Florida girl and two Texas boys to have fun in the parks. We decided to start off in Disney's Hollywood Studios, riding the Rockin' Roller Coaster twice in a row, before moving on to Tower of Terror then the Great Movie Ride before finishing the day with the Indiana Jones stunt show, Star Tours, and Toy Story Mania! After that, we were all starving so we piled back in the car and drove to Cici's for some pizza. One of the Texas boys left after that to go hang out with some other friends while the four of us left went to the Magic Kingdom. 

Once we got there, we went to meet Mickey Mouse before wandering the park. We rode Splash Mountain and then the Haunted Mansion ride. As it started to get dark, we went to stake out a spot for the Electrical Parade. We sat down in a super good spot and chatted while we waited. The parade was wonderful! I just loved it. I can't wait to do that someday! After that, we moved down Main Street to get a good spot for the evening fireworks. I had never seen Wishes before so I was super excited. It was even more beautiful than I had imagined. Once that was done, we went home. Florida and I stayed up and watched Singin' In The Rain before both heading to sleep.

After that, things were looking pretty normal... until yesterday.

There were some events that happened that should mostly be kept between those involved but don't worry. Nothing dangerous, illegal, or frightening happened. I'm just going to say that South Carolina has gone home after some stressful times and I wish her the best of luck and love her dearly. She will be greatly missed by all three of us in the apartment. 

Tomorrow, we get to meet our new roommate so I'm excited/nervous about that but from what I've heard, she is a pretty cool person. I just hope we get along really well.

I have one more day of work before I have two days off and one of those days, I'm going to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween with Florida! Woohoo! I get to dress up and go to the parks in costume! I am so pumped! I'll let you all know how that goes.

Thanks for reading!

There was a journey to another world.

Okay. So it's been a few days and a lot has happened since then. 

First, on Saturday, I got the day off because of work having too many people scheduled so it was nice to have the day off and sleep in. It was weird though because I had two days off on Wednesday and Thursday, worked Friday, had Saturday off, worked Sunday, and then had Monday and Tuesday off. It was a weird feeling to work two days in the chunk of 7 days. But either way, I went out to the Premium Outlets with Florida and South Carolina. We walked around the shops and I bought a few things, having fun. Then we went to the Betsey Johnson store. I was in love the moment I walked in the door. There was this beautiful teal and black striped dress with a chunky belt and necklace. It was beautiful and I wanted it so bad!

However, looking on the price tag, I was knocked back to reality when I saw that it was $258 dollars for just the dress. I hesitated and refrained myself. We drove home and I kept thinking of that dress. So while I put some checks in the bank, I called my mom and she told me to go back and at least try it on. I went back and tried it on. It was so wonderful and pretty! Then my day got soooo much better! I found out that it was on sale for $129! My mom had offered to buy me the dress for my "Gotcha" Day so when I told her, she was all for it. I even got a belt, earrings, and a necklace. I was so happy! It was a wonderful day for me.

The day was not so nice for me... I cracked the screen on my iPhone 3GS. I tripped at work and it hit the stone floor. It was terrible. My phone still worked but I felt terrible the rest of the day. Every time I looked at it, I was reminded of my moment of failure. If you added all the time together, I cried at work for like an hour...

But moving on from that sad day... The next day, Florida and I went to Universal Studios! We went to Harry Potter Land and had lots of fun! The waits were only like 5 minutes, if not shorter. We rode the Dueling Dragons twice in a row because there were two different tracks so we rode each one at least one time. Then we moved to the other rides, very excited about the Forbidden Journey ride. It was fantastic. After that, we went through Jurassic Park, Lost Continent (a Greek themed section), and the Marvel section of Islands of Adventure. We had lunch at Captain America's Diner and I actually met Captain America. (No, not Chris Evans. It was just a guy dressed as Captain America. I wish it had been Chris Evans though.) 

Anyway, after that we actually went to the Universal Studios part and we rode the Revenge of the Mummy. It was awesome. We also did a Disaster ride, Jaws ride, and a Men In Black ride. Then we rode the Mummy again cause it was so wonderful! After that, we returned to Islands of Adventure and rode some more rides over again. We rode quite a few rides at least twice. It was a pretty good time. Florida and I also enjoyed a very delicious taste at Butterbeer, which is basically cream soda with whipped cream on top. It's super yummy. 

By the time Florida and I returned home, we were exhausted but the day was a huge success in our opinions.

The next day was a recovery day from the day before. Florida and I both had sore throats because of all the screaming we did on roller coasters at Universal. At the end of the day, I drove to a nearby Best Buy and was able to use an upgrade to replace my busted iPhone for a new, white iPhone 4! I also got a purple Otter box to protect it from harm in the future. However, I'm going to be super careful now because I never want to deal with that ordeal ever again.

And today was no big deal. Just work and then rest around the apartment. Just chilling out and watching Deadliest Warrior with Florida. She's my TV-watching buddy.

But that's my big update for now. I will probably write again in the next few days. See ya!

There was a celebration!

I'm now 22!! Wednesday was my birthday and I had such a fun day.

All of my roomies had the morning off so we decided to go to lunch before two of them had to leave for work. We had gotten quite a large amount of coupons in the mail and from those, I found this really good-looking Mexican restaurant that wasn't too far away. We all got dressed and got in my car, taking off for some good lunch. We found it pretty easily and had a great lunch. South Carolina told them it was my birthday so they brought out the big hat and sang happy birthday to me. The dessert was so yummy so I didn't mind wearing a big hat for a minute or two.

After that, we drove around some to just adventure along International Drive some. Everything seems to be on or connected to International so we figured that we should take some time to check it out more. We found some pretty neat stuff. 

When we finished with that, we returned to the apartment and just kinda relaxed for a bit before South Carolina and Florida had to go to work. Then I got a call from a friend to go see a movie, so I did. We went and saw the Smurfs movie, which is really cute in my opinion. If you ever liked the Smurfs TV show, I think you would enjoy. You'd also like it if you are a Neil Patrick Harris fan.

So all together, I had a great birthday. Spent time with my roomies, got lots of movies for my birthday (thanks family!), and had fun doing whatever. I also got myself a birthday present by buying the Sims Medieval expansion pack for Pirates and Nobles. It'll be fun times.

The next day was audition day. Florida, Texas, and I all got up early and got into some comfy clothes. We did our hair and make-up before jumping into the car and heading to the audition for Female Face Characters. There were so many people there!!

There were 542 people there and that's just a guess on an exact number. I'm not totally sure but it was a lot of people. The auditions technically started at 9:00 but we didn't even get to the front of the line to get measured and receive our numbers until like 10:30. The audition was done in groups of 50 and only one or two people were picked out of each group. I was number 469 and when I went in, I was so nervous.

I would love to tell you that I was picked and made into the princess I always wanted to be... but today wasn't my day. I wasn't picked. However, South Carolina was and I am so excited! True, I'm a little jealous but that's just natural. Doesn't mean anything except that this is something I truly want... Which helps make my desires concrete in my heart. I won't stop til I'm in entertainment and doing what I love.

So for the rest of the day, I mostly just chilled, went to the gym for an hour, and then returned to the apartment for dinner and more chill time. Right now, I'm struggling to stay awake. I think I'm going to rinse the chlorine out of my hair and go to bed. I've got work tomorrow.

Love you all!!

There was a yucky bug.

So today, this Oklahoma princess was ill... with a yucky bug in my stomach. 

I woke up at 7:30 to get ready for work. However, when I sat up, my stomach twisted and I felt like I was going to be totally sick. I went to the restroom to see if I would get better once I moved around but sadly, that didn't work. Since I work in a food place, I knew that it would be bad for me and the resort guests if I went to work sick. So I decided to call in sick for the day and try to get better by tomorrow.

I called all four of my managers and left a message for two of them so I'm a little concerned. Either way, I get a point on my record for not going to work but I will take a point to make sure that no guests get sick. I'd prefer to get sick at home than at work and risk infecting a guest or co-worker. So after I called in at 7:30-ish, I grabbed my pillow, my stuffed animal, and two blankets before curling up on the living room couch. I bundled up and fell asleep. Florida went to work and then around 9:00, South Carolina got up and asked if I wanted anything. She was such a sweetheart and got some 7-Up for me to settle my tummy.

I slept until about noon and when I woke up, I felt more settled in my stomach but sitting up wasn't very comfortable until I had something to sip on. I made some ramen noodles to eat and stayed curled up in my blankets. I was so cold but felt better. As the day went along, I got to feel better but was still a little cold but that's because I get cold easily. 

So I've had a little bit of a battle with a stomach bug but I've dealt with it. I'm feeling much better and plan on heading into work tomorrow. I've got two days until my birthday! 22 years old! And the day after that, I've got an audition at Disney for characters so let's hope for the best. 

Anyway, I'll post again on Wednesday or Thursday to let everyone know what's been going on.
