Fun fun fun

31st July 2008:
Today was a day of work on the marina, which flew by!! We had a storm closing mid-morning for like two and a half hours so I went to sleep in the marina!! Then after work I came home and chilled out because I felt a bit sleepy. Then I slept for a little while and wrote a few e-mails that I have been meaning o send. After that I headed to Ale House with people from work because some of the girls are leaving, which made me sad because I like them and because it reminds me that I have to leave soon :(
It was so funny. I got drunk, for the first time properly since I have been here which was great. Me and a girl called Alex got started on the shots called Lemon Drops which taste like lemonade but they are vodka!I think ?! Well anyway whatever they were they were beautiful! So we had loads of them and then I tried a passion fruit margarita and got addicted to them!! So that was really great.I really do love the people I met here, I had such a great night laughing and giggling at daft things,it makes me smile that I have met such great people but it’s pretty bittersweet knowing I have to leave them soon L
Well I am too sleepy to write more so I am off to Bedford,night xxx

Well today was pretty good fun. I realised it was my last day off until I leave and so effectively my last day in Disney parks. So I decided that it had to be spent in Magic Kingdom. So me, Jen and Luke went and visited my favourite character in the whole world, Ariel!!I was sooo overexcited ot meet her and she was brilliant. Then I went to the ToonTown character spot and met Donald Duck who is now officially one of my favourite characters ever, he was the most fun. I was laughing my head off when I met him because he is on the front of my autograph book and so he was all flattered and was saying he loved me and then proposed to me on one knee in front of loads of people and I was going bright red and Jen and Luke were almost crying with laughter. It was so great because sometimes the characters just give you a hug and take your picture and you don’t really get that much interaction but this was so funny and really great because it not only made our meet and greet more memorable but it entertained the people waiting. It was such a fun meeting and it is probably one of the best I had so far.
I also went on Goofy’s Aeroplane ride, I’m not sure what it is called, but it’s a big kids ride and I loved it, it was over too soon though, Its like a mini coaster and you are swung around everywhere because its meant to seem like you are being driven by a plane Goofy made, which therefore can only mean it’s been done wrong. And then I did Splash Mountain which was hilarious because Luke didn’t really wanna go on it because he didn’t wanna get wet and when we were on it he got soaked two times worse than me and Jen which cracked us up completely. Luke was also incidentally wearing a pair of short shorts that make us laugh just because they are short and so combine their length with the skin tightness of them being wet and it results in me and Jen nearly falling over crying with the giggles.
We had a bit of an emotional day as well though because I think it hit me and Jen that the end is approaching because we all stood together and made a wish in Cinderella’s wishing well outside of the castle and then just stood and looked up at it for a minute. That castle has been a source of hope and ambition and dreams for so many people including myself and until you are stood underneath it like that, you never realise what a massive effect a building can have on someone. I think the moments I have spent in and around that castle have been the most memorable and will stay with me a lifetime.
We also stayed and watched Spectromagic, which I love so much and I found myself noticing more and more little details and appreciating it so much more, I guess that leaving approaching is making me really wanna recall every detail of everything so that I have it with me in times when I feel like I am loosing faith in what I believe in and what makes me happy. I sound like such a cheeseball sometimes but I think that this experience has opened my eyes to the power of peoples ambitions and dreams and has made me realise that anything is possible if you want it enough and you believe in your ability to do it. I guess the magic of Disney really has rubbed off on me and for any critics of Disney I can only hope that you one day will feel the excitement and butterflies and the true magic that this company and these parks can give someone. My dreams have come true here and I only hope that millions more people realise theirs too.
So once we had left Magic Kingdom, I came back home and got ready in literally five minutes and headed to Pulse (a gay bar) with some of my beloved gay guys for a night on the tiles. It was such a great night and it was soo funny because they all laughed when I got hit on by a guy.Only I could manage to get groped in a gaybar by a guy!!! It was so funny because they all were like, you should come because you can have a night off from boys trying to touch your bum, and then I end up having to be saved by them. Although I also had to be saved form a girl which was interesting to say the least! But I cannot complain because I had an awesome night dancing and being silly and just being able to love cheesy songs and enjoy not worrying about boys and my bottom!!!

Today was a fun day at work! We had a meeting at 8.0 am which I wasn’t looking forward to but when we got there I found out it was actually a recognition meeting and we got breakfast and sat and discussed the issues we had on gates, both good and bad.So that was productive.T hen I was on gates which incidentally was my last gates shift while I am here which made me kind of sad because the thought of leaving entered my head.By happy that I had no more gates cos it got really boring and depressing if it was not busy and slow!! So I am exicted for a week of fun fun fun now :D
