So So So So So..... Yeah...

Oh dear.... it's been awhile but I'm here again. It's called ten hour shifts every day.... grr. And I'm an idiot and help out by filling in the open shifts on my off days.... I just do that for my supervisor/favorite manager Dave. He pulls a lot of strings for me so I do things in return to cut him some slack since so many cast members love to call in.

So whatever..... rant over. A more reasonable post shall follow.

Much love.

Okayyyy.....!!

Now that my venting is out of the way.... might as well post on a happier note.

First, I get to see my mom in nine days!! Yay! Awesomeness!!! She can meet all the wonderful people in my life and see Saratoga Springs... and eat around the World at Epcot!! Sweetness!!!

Second... is it Friday yet? My off day in Saint Augustine with... KATIE!!!!!!!!!!! My twin!! And Bri, my little sister!! And probably Fernando... my, uhhh.... well, not brother... I guess just very good friend will do. The beach... ahhhh. I can smell the salty air and hear the waves already!

Third.... I work tomorrow. Short shift!! 11:45am-7:15pm. So Illuminations afterwards! And Julie won't be there to annoy the crap out of me.... just me, Hannah (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), Winkie (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and Michelle (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I shall survive tomorrow! I shall!!

And hey Emmilie... I see you following my blog! Way to go girlfriend! :D

I'm going to shut up and go to bed.... till then....

Much love.

The World is Not Perfect...

And by the world, I mean specifically Disney World. Let's clarify that right now.

2am. As in 2am today. Monorail crash. The red and purple monorails. They didn't crash and flip off the tracks or anything. But the driver of the purple monorail is dead.

So here's what happened- of course, due to the 4th of July, the World runs fireworks at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios late. Purple monorail was at the station (Epcot, judging from the photos) picking up passengers. Red monorail was done for the night, so red monorail's driver began backing up the train to move it into position to head to the place where monorails are stored (neat place, like a big garage- it's on our MK bus route). Somehow, red monorail did not get word that purple monorail was still operating on the tracks. So at 15mph, here it comes backing up.... straight into the cab of the purple monorail.

The driver of purple was barely older than me- 21 year old Austin Wuennenberg. He was a junior at Stetson University and was from here in Florida (Kissimmee). Nice looking young man, from the photo on Fox News's website. Apparently he had minimal training in monorail operations. Great.... Disney, hope you're happy. Your stupidity cost a colleague of mine his life.

No, I didn't personally know Austin. But I bet I've met him before. I frequented the monorails a lot when Shaun was still here- I used to always take them to Epcot, MK, the TTC, the resorts.... I knew most of the drivers because I usually sat up front. Now I'd be willing to bet monorail operations will be down for weeks, and riding in the front will be a thing of the past. My brother always wanted to get to ride up front.... but he likely never will get to. What a shame.

Disney is not perfect. Sorry to let the people who think it is know that. Disney is run by men. If God ran Disney, it would be perfect. But He doesn't; men do. Therefore, anything man runs is naturally fallible. Things break, things falter.... but nothing should cause anyone to die.

I only hope Austin's family gets the closure and peace they deserve. Disney had better step back and take a good hard look at how they treat their cast members. They need to take off their rose-colored glasses and see just how things really are.

And though I didn't exactly know you.... Rest in peace, Austin.

Much love.

I'm Waiting....

....for a miracle.

So I'm in the middle of applying to BYU in Rexburg. AKA, the campus in Idaho. I've got almost everything submitted.... but I'm afraid. I'm afraid I won't get in this fall. That I'll have to wait til April 2010.

I don't want to wait.

Unless, it's in the Lord's Will. THEN I shall wait. But otherwise... well, give me an answer, please, Lord!

'Tis all for now.

Much love.

Great. Just Great.

Grrr....

Our country is going to hell in a handbasket. Excuse my French, but it's true.

First off.... Governor Palin resigned. Ummm.... yeah. I'm wondering what this will do for her political career- help her or hurt her. There goes her chance of running for president in 2012. I'm hoping this move will be good for her. But I think it's just a bigger blot on the conservatives. First Governor Sanford in SC, now her. Notice the liberals are totally pure and blameless... uh-huh. Yeah, right.

And another thing.... you BYUIers answer, please. Why no more political clubs on campus? Are things just getting too nasty in politics, and rather than bring that on campus, you choose to keep the pureness of the Gospel first? That's my thought. I'd prefer to see BYUI kept a conservative campus. That's a big reason I'm going there. This Mormon wants a nice gospel centered, conservative education.... no politics please!

Rant over. Thanks for listening.

Much love.

So Anyways....

....Yeah. I need to go to sleep. I have to catch the 9:55am bus tomorrow to go to work. Ick. A loooong day ahead of me. But it's all good, I have two days in a row off!!

....So anyways... that's about all I have to say.

Much love.
