So I have church at 1:30. Good and bad, but I was a little glad so that I could sleep in. I got up late, read a little, got all ready to go and walked out to my car. I thought all was well, and it was going to be another good Sunday. Wrong. My car wouldn't start. And it didn't sound good. It kinda sounded like it had a sputter/tick and I couldn't get it to start. I looked in the garage to find that my parents had each drove separately for meetings because the other two cars were gone. And they are being good and not answering their phones. Awesome. I could have walked, but I didn't really think about it until too late anyway and I am kind of stressing out in a bad, bad way and feel like I am going to have an anxiety attack.
First of all my car isn't starting-enough to give anyone a bad day, but the fact that I have to drive this particular car with me across a couple of states in the next week...by myself...where my phone doesn't always get service...isn't really doing much for me right now. Not to mention that I have already been stressing out about my computer still having a computer virus and not knowing what the heck to do about that one still because I am broke thanks to a craptastic summer job that was basically slave labor. Oh, and I have been stressing out about school itself, never mind getting there, I have crazy classes that I am positive will kick my butt and be really hard and auditions coming up in 12 days. I also am rooming with complete strangers in a strange complex and some of my best friends won't even be in the same state as me. So, ya I am completely freaking out. And all I can think that would help the situation is if I could have gone to church!
Basically I am sitting here with my bag still slung around my shoulder, shoes on, keys in my lap, phone out, in a dress, ready to go. Happy Sabbath.

Crazy Cat Lady
I love animals. There, I said it. Judge me however you want; but I can't help it. I have always loved animals and I probably always will. And not only do I love animals, but I love cats, yup cats. How do you like them apples?
Usually I get completely made fun of, made faces at, joked about just because I like animals? Really? Well, sorry for being the type of person who has compassion for all..well most of God's creatures. (I should say that I don't exactly looove bugs or spiders or albino geckos) but whatever. All I am saying is shut up you heartless monsters! You don't have to have a pet if you don't want to, but don't give me crap for caring about a kitten or a puppy.
Ok so that was so not where I was going when I started this...I digress. So anyway. I have these two cats. They are know as Calvin and Hobbes and I feel like a complete traitor because I left them with my parents alone longer than I usually do. Not that my parents don't take care of them, but there is a reason for why they are mine and as soon as I get a place that allows cats my parents are making me take them with me. Anyway, My cats live in the garage/the greater outdoors aka my backyard (which I will admit they like being outside especially cause my backyard rocks). But my cats were not always outdoor cats and they certainly didn't start out living in the garage. But my parents didn't like cleaning up their fur all the time. Understandable. But still. When I was sick they would take over my whole bed and not leave me until I was better. When there was a spider in the house all I had to do was run and grab Hobbes (the bug hunter-calvin wouldn't notice as quickly and would just sit on top of it or something) and hobbes would kill it for me and then eat the evidence of the creepy thing's existence. When I was home alone they would make me feel a little safer. When I go outside they follow me around like dogs. Calvin goes on walks with me and our new dog. Hobbes will come only if it's me and Calvin. Oh, and they are both lap cats, even though they are quite large, which doesn't work now because they can't come inside.
Basically what I am saying is my cats rock and I am totally a crazy cat lady but only for cats that aren't crazy-cause some are. But I'm not too crazy.. I promise. Anyway, sorry that you have to live in the garage. Oh, well. So make fun of me all you want, evil people.

Stupid, Stupid Computer
So, I have had my computer for about 4 years now. It has been an awesome computer and I have loved it the whole time. Well, lately my computer has been running pretty slow, which makes a little sense since 1 year to us is about 20 years computer time right? Just say yes.
Well, the day has come when my now 80 year old computer is sick. Yes, sick. I believe it has contracted a virus. Will it be able to pull out of it? I have no idea. I was on the phone with my brother all night, and when I say all night I mean maybe 30 minutes, trying everything I could...although it is hard to fix a computer over the phone.
Now I feel like a traitor and a little uncomfortable because I have been using my Dad's new computer that my brothers help build him. (although the screen is way better and it is way faster on the internet etc. etc....see how much of a traitor I am) I almost don't want my brother to do open heart surgery on it in the fall aka. reformat my computer.
So I have been looking around, just online so far, to see what's out there and I came to another conclusion. I know absolutely nothing when it comes to buying a computer. Cripes.
I hope it doesn't come to me being stranded without a computer until I can get a new one. I just hope that it can hang on for a little while longer until I can save up more money to buy one without it leaving me broke. Good think I have a job lined up for the fall.
I really need it so wish me luck. Oh and my computer too.

I DO
So this past weekend I flew down to the LA area for my (ex)roommates wedding and it was so much fun. I met up with my other roommate Amanda (aka man, manda or man(duh) and it was as if we hadn't just spent an entire summer away from each other.
Our conversations were just as crazy and as comfortable as before. All together a good sign. Then Brittany (aka britto, britt) and her soon to be hubby Justin (aka Drake) came and picked us up. There was a lot of screaming, jumping up and down and hugging and then we got into the car and had crazy and comfortable conversation yet again...although Drake had to be a jerk and say "Your IQ drops when you talk to these two" or something like that. Obviously he had forgotten/never experience how girls talk to each other when they are really excited/slap happy/haven't seen each other for a way too long period of time.
Any way the first night we went to universal studios city walk to kill some time and hang out with Justin's family a bit which was fun...and I think this city walk is way cooler than the one in Florida. There is way more to look at but whatev. Still love Florida and I still miss it...
Anyway after that we had to go home and go to bed cause we had a lot to do the next day! So what did we do? Me, man and britto went home to practice Britt's makeup for the wedding...so we did..and it was fun...and then we started playing with it a little more and did man's makeup...then they did mine...then britt's sister and cousin who are 13 came in and joined us. And then Britt's dad caught is in the scariest makeup of our lives. It was like we were 12 again, pouring over a fashion magazine with horrendous makeup. It was really fun though and we laughed a lot like always.
Next day we went to the wedding brunch with all the girls of the wedding party. (the boys went golfing) that was a good time. I recommend #74 with the mixed fruit and sourdough toast.
Then the bridesmaids went off to get our nails done =) yay it felt so good. And we looked good too.
After that we hung out a little and then had the family dinner which was quite yummy and roasted Brit and Justin haha. Me and Manda were so kind. We didn't spill the beans on Britt and how she didn't know what Family Jewels meant when we were randomly perusing the dictionary and she said the term really loud in front of our Sunday company. THAT was funny...but we were nice and didn't share..sorry Britt- story's out.
After that we all went to bed and got ready for the wedding! It was a beautiful day of smiles, pretty dresses and flowers, lots of love, sometimes lots of spiders...yikes...food, beautiful weather, laughs, hugs etc.
The reception was amazing and Britto's and Drake's family were both so kind and friendly, it was a blast.
When they were getting ready to leave me and Man ran to find Britt to give our last hugs and like the idiots we are we all broke down crying in the hallway. Dang you Britt. But we recovered like pros =) yup forever friends.
It was such a fun and great weekend and Brittany was absolutely beautiful. It was so good to see her and Manda after so long. I missed them so much and miss them again already!

Do You Have A Watchbox?
Well, I no longer am an employee of Walt Disney World. And as I have had to tell many people this week, it is bitter sweet. As the day gets closer to when I fly out of this humid, hot, and creepy-albino-lizard infested place, I get more excited and yet I get even more sad.
My playground is going to shrink quite dramatically and I can no longer go bum around in the parks for a couple of hours just because I can. But at the same time, I am not going to be treated like a ticking time bomb either. By that I mean, when people find out that I am a college program employee of disney people won't automatically see me as someone whose time is running out. I am excited to be in a place where there seems to be some progression in friendships, relationships and life in general. Not that those things don't happen here, just maybe not as much and not to as many people.
I am ready to move on to my next adventure and to get back to reality, and let's face it I am so ready to get back to my car. It has been a great experience and I am so glad to have met everyone (except Sean and Donald, the jerks from work) that I did and to have had as much fun as I did and have as many crazy jokes as I did...like "Do you happen to have a watchbox?" (ask me later)
But I can't help thinking that this is just the tip of the iceberg and that things are going to just get better from here on out. I get to see my best friends in a matter of days and meet up with more friends in the fall. I am going to be living in a new apartment with all new roommates...ah... but I couldn't be more excited. My classes are going to kick my trash and I get to wear whatever color nail polish that I want! HA!
I will miss my friends, driving really fast, lightning and thunder, laughing ALL the time, midnight movies (which I may or may not sleep through) snuggling with a monkey, Ghiradelli free samples, mini golf, twistie treat, beaches, swimming, feeling like I am on vacation all the time, Sunday socials, temple trips, Wendy's, secret texts, my disney poncho, dancing and singing it out ALL the time, dunkin donuts...oh excuse me dancin donuts, aaannnd soooooo much more but I am running out of time.
So, basically it has been amazing. I am going to miss it all so much but I am so excited for everything that is ahead of me.
Wish me luck.
