Guest Moments

So here's are two of my favourite moments so far with a guest.

Number one:

I am walking outside with a guest bringing them to the nearest smoking area when we are leaving the pavilion we're walking over this little bridge and she turns to me and says...

WOMAN: "Do you live under here?"

ME: "This bridge? uhhh I don't but there could be some trolls"

WOMAN: "hahah no I mean...under here"

ME:"I'm sorry?"

WOMAN:"like...under the park"

ME: "umm no, we're actually housed uhh outside but still on Disney property in really nice condos"

WOMAN: "So, not underground"

Me: "NO."

-END CONVERSATION-

I couldn't believe someone actually asked that!
YUP WE COME OUT OF THE SEWERS TO GET TO WORK!!


Conversation number TWO! This one happened yesterday. So I end up meeting a a Newfoundlander!

Man: "YES BY! YER FROM NEWFOUNDLAND!"
Me: "I am! Are you folks from Newfoundland as well?"
Man: "SURE ARE! WITLESS BAY!"
Me: "That's awesome! You guys are the first people I've met from Newfoundland!"
Man: "Yes By! Beers some cheap here"

The first thing he says is "beers some cheap here" not...."hows the job", "how'd you get here" or "do you miss home?"

I laughed so much after he left.
We talked a whole bunch more afterwards but that was the first thing he said to me. It was priceless.

On top of that so far I have been asked:
"Can you speak canadian?"
"Do you drive on the other side of the road in Canada?"
"What is your currency in Canada?"
"Does everyone in Canada have a tv in there house?" (why would you ask that?)
"What does Canadian Beer taste like?" (UHHH BEER)

I know, I'm bad at writing in this stupid thing

I swam with sharks yesterday.

That statement sounds SO COOL.
But the real story is that I swam with sharks, had a panic attack, choked on salt water and then swam so fast that I couldn't really focus on the sharks and fish that were swimming below me. I didn't need a life guard or anything, I totally played it cool. The funny part was that in the end I was more scared AFTER it had happened then before. I don't think i'll do it again because before I did it I was not really aware of what it would be like.

Either way!
I SWAM WITH SHARKS!
I totally body surfed on 6ft waves as well (which was really cool but in the end I kept loosing my bathing suit)

It was awesome because me and Ashley bought a underwater camera. We're really looking forward to the pictures. We may even go back next Monday!

I'm still pretty sure that I will be going home on the 27th of November.
I have great moments like this where I say "Why would I leave this place?!"
But the only time I have moments like that is when I feel like I'm on vacation.
When I am here at home or at work or out anywhere I feel like I shouldn't be here.

All vacations have to end. Mine just exists 2 days a week.
I can't deal with only being happy when I have plans on one of those two days.

I'm TOTALLY TRYING I PROMISE.
Things have gotten so much better since I thought about going home.
I've just had some back luck. The moment I got over my bronchitis, I got a bad back. My back has been so bad for 2 weeks. Now that my back is starting to get better, I have a really bad pain in my ear.

I know I will eventually come back here again.
I'm enjoying my time so much now that I know I may be going home.
Either way...this is just a little update.
I'll post a few pictures (not from shark day)
and write later.

love you all!

I can't give up

hahah mom told me today that my blogs sound suicidal.
so apparently if someone jumps off the Epcot ball you know it was me right?

I am going to try to keep this as positive as I can.
Especially since my mom thinks I sound like I'm manic depressive.

WATCH OUT!! THAT GIRL!! ON TOP OF CINDERELLAS CASTLE!! SHE'S GOING TO JUMP!!
MOM!! IT'S TINKER BELL!

uuuugggg.....

Yeah, I'm doing better.
I had so many moments today that reminded me of why I wanted to be here.
I bonded so well with Hiroko we talked about Japanese Culture until...well now.
So for around 3 hours.

I told her all about mummering and she is like scared to death of it.
It makes me laugh so much.

She's taught me how to write my name in both alphabets and told me all about the great festivals that go on in Japan. She comes from a "very small community" of 599,000 PEOPLE!! More then Newfoundland in total. I love that.

She loves me teaching her English and has given me this book all about the things that go on in Japan. It's written in both Japanese and English so when she cannot really explain the whole idea in English...she shows it to me in the book, I read it and explain it to her in a simple way. She loves it and I love doing it.

She really keeps saying "please come to Japan with your boyfriend! You will love it!"

She's so sweet and I'm very sad that she is leaving in two weeks.
Sigh.

BUT NO SIGHS ALLOWED!
CHEER UP SAD SACK!

Yesterday explodingdog.com posted this picture and I was like "yup...meant to be"
It's my new background.

GET THESE OUT OF ME

The heart pangs are unbearable.
I don't want to be around anyone anymore.
I just want to go home.

Every morning I wake up I wish I wasn't here.

just help me?

Listening to this song by Jack Johnson just makes me feel like I should leave.
I'm sorry that this is turning into a blog about not my adventures but how hard of a time I am having here. I just want to go back to normal. To wake up every morning and watch cartoons while Aaron does what he has to do.

Or having Mom and Dad bug me to sit in the living room with them.
Or having friends that are just like me that want to do things that I want to do.

I really have no found anyone really that I can rely on here.
I feel like I am trying so hard.
I feel like I am here for the wrong reasons.
The magic is completely gone for me and that's the hardest thing to say.

"Who's to say
What's impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stoppin' curiosity

I wanna turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's song
I don't want this feeling to go away

Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem

I wanna turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's song
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Will it all keep spinning and spinning round and round and

Upside down
Who's to say whats impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away

Please Don't go away
is this how it's supposed to be"

It's funny because, the song has nothing to do with how I am feeling. But I just feel like I'm not as curious as I think I was. I just want to hear from people back home. To know that people are still there and that they are somehow in someway thinking about me. I miss hanging out with Heather and Lar and letting our boyfriends go off and do what they want to do.

I just...
I don't want you all to worry.
I just need a taste of home. I almost cried when a guest told me they were from born in Newfoundland. I really did. I get heart flutters when the girl that's "from st john's" walks by me and I read her name tag that says "St John's, Newfoundland"

I need to not be around the huge amount of craziness, the high school drama, the drunk mondays that nobody can sleep through.

I'm fun to be around...I just cannot force myself to be excited to go to a bar with 90 people and get drunk and watch them make mistakes.

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
I know I'll learn to cope and I know I will find people I can relate to but right now I feel more alone then I have this whole month.

I keep falling asleep knowing that this is temporary...it's just not going as fast as I need it to.


This makes no sense I know...I just am not feeling great.

I work here?

Today I left work during illuminations.
I couldn't help but completely break down in tears because I leave work DURING THIS!
That all of these people are seeing this for the very first time.
Celebrating birthdays, honeymoons, anniversaries or even family reunions.
It's such a special moment for them and I get to share it with new people EVERY DAY.

I love it.
