Months until Disney: 3
Days until audition: 26
Emails need to be sent: 1
Forms to be filled: 3

I am officially signed up to do Disney.

Before, I was accepted into Disney but I did not accept my invitation. But now it’s official. No going back now…

 

The greatest part about accepting the invitation was the fact I got to write out what would be on my name tag. Should it be Christine? Or could I get away with Snakeheart? I ended up typing Emily because I’m lame. Although, now thinking on it, maybe I should have put Christine down. Half the girls there will probably be named Emily (just like here in Lynchburg).  Well, it’s too late now. I also had a choice of putting down my hometown. Once again, being lame, I put down Warrenton Virginia, because I couldn’t think of any place cooler.

So I will be starting January 20th and leaving August 6th. A long time, I know.

And thus the anxiety sets in.

 

I recently had a conversation with someone that did not like the fact I would be going to Disney. While, usually, opinions would not sway me (at least not on this subject), I couldn’t help but feel like I was making the wrong choice. While he never straightforwardly confessed that I should stay but it shook my resolute determination. Granted, I am not completely ecstatic of leaving all my friends for nine months, but I’ve wanted to do this ever since high school.  I just wish this wasn’t such a big sacrifice. I wish I didn’t have to choose between people I care about and want to be with and a fun fling.

That is not to say that I’m going to stop doing this. I am going to Disney World, and only something short of death can stop me. (That children, is called a hyperbole).

On a less depressing note, all these forms are dumb but will be submitted before this Thursday. Thank God!

Good News everyone

Months till Disney: 4
Days till audition: 30
Magic Tricks learned: 0
Forms needing t be filled out: 3
Emails to be sent: 1

Well, guess what. If you didn't realize it by my countdown, I got accepted into the Disney internship program! If you are jumping around with glee and happiness, I am dancing with you, via online. *does happy dance*

Just a little background if you're curious. I will be there for eight months starting in January and ending in August (so there is no excuse to come visit me). I got accepted into merchandise, which means I will be selling...something. I don't know what. But! But here's the big news BIG BIG news. I can audition for an actual character! So Auditions are November 6 and I have to miss class and go to Pennsylvania. I feel bad because I don't want to miss these classes but I don't really have a choice, not if I want to go try to be a character. I suppose I could settle but my mother won't hear any of it (I love my mother). So begins double preparations for this.

1)I have been going to the gym every day. I think I gained some muscle in my arms (it's about time!)
2)I have thought about investing in some whitening strips but am afraid that they will ruin my teeth so I've just been chewing more gum
3)I will be attending a dance workshop later this semester to be able to carry a beat.
4)I am purchasing some new gym clothes to flatter me during auditions but is still movable
5)I am also trying to get rid of acne like mad

I know what some of you are thinking. I have gone mad. And I don't expect many of you to understand. This is a big sacrifice. I am leaving a whole semester and summer to do this. I am leaving my friends and boyfriend behind. There is trepidation and I'm trying to remain hopefully pessimistic. I might end up hating it or treating it like any other job but just imagining that every day, I get to work at the happiest place on Earth, where I am encouraged to create and play around. There is a fear that I will have no time to write but then again, I barely have any time here to write.

I will be trying to update this blog dutifully every time something new or exciting is happening in the world of Disney. However, if I do get a character position, I will not be able to post it online and if I tell you in person, you are not allowed to tell anybody online as well.

I am frightened and excited and I haven't even filled out the form that says I will be gone for the semester. I better get on that.

Since I have writer's block on my novel....

This year has been the year of relationships. I know of four weddings this summer alone, and of four breaks, all of them lasting over a year. So I am forced with the inevitable truth; just because a couple is together for one, two, or even three years, can never guarantee happiness. Some of these relationships weren’t very healthy, but in all of them, they all ended brutality. Not because of some drama, but because of the energy the couple put into the relationship.  So these months, I have been paired with truly happy couples that are ready to take the next step and people who just don’t understand why it didn’t work. I have tried to asses this to avoid making the same mistake. It terrifies me to fall in love because I have seen those tears; I have heard those unanswered questions  of why, and I have felt their heart beat separate from anybody else. It is painful.

I don’t say this is the all answer way to have a perfect relationship. There could be several reasons for couples breaking up but I just focused on these relationships that I have encountered. This isn’t directed at anybody but just an oversight and maybe a small hope that relationships can last instead of being so flakey and loose in the world.

After a year, it is easy to fall into habits. I don’t know this from personal experience since the longest relationship I have been in is three months but I’m assuming like all things, relationships become a habit. The guy stops telling the girl how pretty she is and the girl stops sending him cute text messages. It just stops. And this is where the problems arise. There must be a reminder every once in a while that one cares for another. Anything! A heart-felt letter, a surprise call, a bouquet of flowers for no apparent reason or just a simple “you are beautiful” for a girl. Remind them why you are with them.

I feel like sometimes (from what I noticed in these breakups) is that the guy cares about the girl, but doesn’t show it. Now, I don’t want to hear any excuses saying that guys have a harder time showing emotions or whatever. If the girl is worth it, then the man can prove it.

I’m scared and that’s why I’m doing this. I hate hearing relationships breaking up. I hate it even more when I get into one. Because then I can’t just go back to what I was doing. And I don’t want it to end, at least not yet. I’m happy. And I hear all of this and I can’t help but be scared because if these people- these people who I thought were going to get married and live a happy life- break up even before they hit the engagement mark, then how in the world can I survive?

So men, remind your women why you’re with them. Do special things only for them, for nobody else. Give them something to let them know that they mean something to you. Same goes to women.

This isn’t really directed at anybody, I’m just ranting.


the problem with losing weight

  • Jan. 27th, 2009 at 9:21 PM
I know I just posted a journal entry but something has irked me. It has irked me something fierce.

My email is at yahoo so I have to go to yahoo.com. They had a delightful newsfeed in which I occasional read if it catches my interest. There are two articles up there at the moment. One is the best and worst French fries. The other, the best and worst cheeseburgers.

I grew excited. Between 10 and 12 years old, I went through a cheeseburger phase. Every restaurant I went to, I ordered a cheeseburger. Applebee's: Cheeseburger, Ruby Tuesday: cheeseburger, Outback Steakhouse: cheeseburger. I've gotten over that habit but there is nothing like the Jimmy Buffet's Cheeseburger in paradise (I like mine with lettuce and tomatoes, look up the song. It is my perfect cheeseburger, except there is no condiments). So I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of cheeseburgers. So when I stumbled upon these articles, I grew excited. Yes, oh wonderful blog god, tell me where to locate the best of the best!

What did I find? The best and worst cheeseburgers for losing weight. I was devastated. I am not exaggerating. All it told me was the best calories. I don't care about calories! I'll care about calories when my young spunky body stops being so spunky. It is the taste that is important. Must every blog labeled "best and worst" be designated for losing weight? What happened to eating food that tasted good? Alas, the American public has sacrificed good food with calorie free food (which is impossible, except for celery). If I was in France, I would not be having this problem. I would only eat the best food because that's what they care about, not how fast or how trans-fat free it is. If you cook it right, you won't care. Of course, I don't think the French serve cheeseburgers....
here's one of the articles

Writer's Block: Year of the Ox

Happy Chinese New Year! The Year of the Ox starts today. What is your Chinese zodiac animal? Do you think you fit the description of the sign?

Earth Snakes always seem to be calm and content. They’re friendly and approachable and believe that they’ll reap great rewards by working hard and relying on common sense


I can't help but think of Ayame from Fruits Basket every time I read about my Chinese zodiac. He rants JUST LIKE ME!

Oh dear

The Relationship part made me laugh

Relationships
Snakes are excellent seducers so they never have trouble attracting others. However, they’ll be the ones to decide when a relationship has potential and when it does not. Once they’ve chosen a partner, a Snake’s insecure side will begin to show through. Snakes guards their chosen partners much like a prized possessions, becoming jealous and even obsessive. Snakes prefer to keep their feelings to themselves. It’s important to never betray a Snake’s trust as a betrayed snake will make it a goal to get even some day!

Beware me!!!! It's over 9000!!!!!!!!

I rather be at Dustin's house eating cake instead of the Writing Center killing time before ten since nobody comes here on the second week of school.

And my boss paid that check that he sent me that did not clear. Emily almost had to hire APOLLO JUSTICE to fight the bank. I wouldn't complain though. Okay I'm exaggerating but it's cool now.

How many anime references can I fit in one livejournal entry?

check out my website cause I'm a dork

Things to talk about

  • Jul. 26th, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Hello!

Today is spent looking up Disney icons

1. I saw the ocean during a storm. I know that sounds dorky but it was amazing. The sky was a eerie darkness and the waves grew higher and higher (which is more fun honestly) then rain began to beat down, at first we laughed because we were already wet but then began to pinch the skin. The waves more of rolled than crashed, just rolled in then pulled back. I could barely hear anything through the pounding rain. I couldn't help but think about the movie, The Day After Tomorrow and seeing how violent the sea was and all the movement. There was so much movement from just water, the waves rolling, the rain falling, the ripples when the rain met the ocean. It was awesome

2. Went to Disney Quest which is basically five floors of video and arcade games and you only have to pay to get in. Needless to say, it rocked and rolled and was like this dark lighting so when you go back outside into the Florida sun, you were blind. My only complaint, there is a virtual reality game where you strap on a helmet with goggles on and it sits on your head more than straps on and you get a lightsaber to slash comic book villains, it's really cool and you get a score at the end of how awesome you were. My complaint? My helmet thing was too big or I just have a small head so every time I tried to move my head in a direction to see the baddies coming at me, the helmet practically flies off and I am blind. Now you have to come to Disney to see what I"m talking about

Another upsetting news. I don't know how many people know of this but there is a downtown Disney where you shop and eat and things of that nature. In this Downtown Disney, there is a section called Pleasure Island. Pleasure Island starts up at around 9 and 21 or older are allowed to enter. Basically, it has a bunch of clubs, and the largest revolving dance floor. My plans were to go there on my 21st birthday but now they're getting rid of the clubs and putting in more shops and restaurants. I love you Disney but I want to go clubbing!

Saw HellBoy 2: The Golden Army- awesome, better than the first one but some idiot kept trying to flirt but failing. Saw Dark Knight. It was okay (note the sarcasm)

For the first week of school, I'm thinking about selling white cupcakes with lemon frosting and white chocolate on top, what do you guys think?

The world of vent

  • Jul. 3rd, 2008 at 12:59 PM
Hello bright Internet world! My name is Emily and I love puppies and sunshine.

Seriously.

I'm in Florida at the moment, chilling with my father and the thunderstorms that like to flicker the house and scare the crap out of the kittens.

Right now, I like to warn you fine young people about the dangers of Panda Express. Oh yes, you might be ecstatic about the thought of a fast food place selling Chinese. At first, I was excited cause like most of America, I love Chinese food. But I was slapped silly. First off, it was like going to a place in the mall where you get your little tray and pick out your dishes. Again, nothing wrong with this but it irked me I guess since I thought, fast food Chinese would be more like McDonalds where you pick what meal you want. The important thing however was the food. Which left me displeased. For one, their Lo Mein wasn't Lo Mein but Chow mein. Now, I don't know if chow mein is actually another form of food but it looked surprisingly like lo mein except drier. The orange chicken was actually chicken which made me excited but it was too crunchy for my liking. But if you do go, get the chicken and string beans. That actually tasted great.

I'm bored down here, can't you tell? And I"m only an hour away from Disney World but like a terrible fat man in my way, I can't reach it. One, money, and two money. But one day, I'll be pratically living there, just you wait. Honestly, any amusementpark will do. I'm easily amused, (hah I'm so punny)

I got a half brillant, half crazy idea for the upcoming school year. Give me your honest opinion. Selling cupcakes around campus. I got this niffty cupcake holder that holds 36 cupcakes! I just care it around campus and sell cupcakes for a dollar. I would have a different flavor every week. Mom said it was a good idea and I think it's brilliant but I have this nasty habit of thinking something is great but disappointed when I put it in effect (like what's happening to my novel at the moment now that I think about it) but I like cupcakes and they don't take long to make. Maybe I can keep up the English Club and school work and job and cupcake biz. I dunno but I'm going to try it ^_^

REMEMBER ME?

  • Jan. 14th, 2007 at 12:35 PM
Hey, remember me? I use to have a live journal....do you? I don't, until now. Weird huh.

A quick summary of my life:

-Senior!
-Accepted into Lynchburg College and Mary Baldwin
-Still Stage Manager
-I'm fairy 3 in Midsummer's Night Dream
-I have a C in physics
-I particpated in NaNo WriMo and won! (National Novel Writing Month, 50,000 in one month woot!)
-Still have a cat named Josie
-Single

Now a list of things I need to do before finals (which is next week >.<)
-Finish George Mason application
-Study for physics final
-Government AP homework
-Go to the library to get a book for English AP next term

That's all I can think about right now. And instead of working on any of that stuff, I'm writing in my live journal.

Soon, I will be at Disney world as some sort of wonderful worker! VIVA LA DISNEY WORLD! Yeah, I'm planning to work at Disney world over the summer so come check me out there ^.^
Well, that was a little crazy

I FINALLY GOT MY LEARNER'S PERMIT!!!!!! Fourth times a charm. I TOTALLY DROVE FOR TEN MINUTES! It was fun. I like driving, I can't wait to get my licence ^.^

Oh, and officially on June 12, 2006, I got a boyfriend after a good year of being single. For all those who care to know, it's Archy Brian. It was totally by accident too. I got into a conversation with him and I just blurted out that I didn't feel like dating and then I asked him to sign my yearbook. This is what he wrote it in.

"Emily,
You just told me that you don't want to date right now, but I was hoping that you did. I think you're super special and was hoping you would want to be my GF but I guess you don't. Anyways, prom was great. See you next year."

I totally shot him down without knowing.

I read it in homeroom then I freaked out and ran to his homeroom after the bell rang. I finally met up with him and the rest is history. That was and exhausting last day of school. Glad it's over. Now that I got a boyfriend, let the anxiety commence! Woot! Now for me to go to MEXICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited, bought all this cute clothes for me ^.^ I'll take lots of pictures, I promise. If you want anything from Mexico, speak now cause I can get it for cheap. I'm already getting my mother a snowglob and my friend and sweater from there.

Six more days till Mexico

................................stupid

  • May. 31st, 2006 at 3:30 PM
This has to be one of the worst days of my life..........why? Why did they throw it all away. They had a future. They couldn't control their boyish urges because they are all dicks. I hope they are proud of what they have done.

My SAT scores suck and I don't think I'll ever pass those stupid permit tests. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I just want to drown myself in silly webcomics.

P.S. I got a second degree burn on my hip and the biggest blister ever....thanks reflexive hip for catching that burning hot pot.

ONE MORE DAY UNTIL PROM AND MY BIRTHDAY AND I'M SOOOOOO GOING TO RING THAT GONG AT OSAKA!!!!!!!!!!

I took my AP psychology test and it was okay, I was so happy with the essays because I knew exactly what they were talking about! that's always good when taking a test, lol

Chemistry is a pain. i think I know excatly what I'm doing but then it turns out I have no idea what I'm doing. Stupid chemistry but I like chemistry.....conflicting feelings makes one feel gulity (thank you psychology) lol

I got the book, Inkheart for my birthday but I was so suprise who gave it to me, Jason McCall. I ride his bus and we talk but I was so surpise that he just took out a rapped present out of the plastic bag he had in his hands and it had a sparkling bow on it. I wanted to tear it gently like to keep the wrapping paper. i could already feel it as a book but I would never imagine that Jason would remember that conversation about inkheart. He's such a sweet guy and not many people realize that. he can be boring at times but he's really cool. He's an awesome friend and if you get a chance to talk to him, I think you should. You won't regrete it, i promise.

PROM IS TOMORROW!!!!!

blahhhhhhhhhhh

  • May. 6th, 2006 at 2:18 PM
I just got contacts (that's good)
But I also just took my SATs (That's bad)
I think I did well though (That's good)
Actually I think I did alright, I didn't finish my essay (that's bad)
But I did see Thomas Tessie (That's super good)
He's still the same nerd that I remember but it was really cool. I thought I saw him and I asked him if he was Thomas and he gave me this confusing look and I was like "It's me, from Elemtary and middle school" it was alright but the last five minutes took forever becuase I just wanted to get out of there as fast as I can. My mom didn't believe me when I told her it took forever BOY WAS SHE WRONG! That test took forever! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually feel very ephoric and ready to expernice new things...too bad I'm stuck in reality where I had to do stuff like homework and chores and well just normal life as I know it....damn.

I"m offically on the net ^.^

I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO!!!!!!!!

I'm going to be a reporter.

Yeah, I said it, a reporter.

It was soo much fun at the career shadowing, I shadowed a reporter and it was so much fun. I even got ice cream out of it. It was also. I wrote a artical along with this other girl but the person I was with told us that she would publish both but then when the girl I was with was gone, the reporter said that her article probably won't be published but she told me that I had a gift for it. It was the first time ever writing something like that so next Wensday, get the Fauquier Times Democrat and look in the education part about English as a second language. I'm probably wrote it.

The better part of this deal is that they offered me to be a intern there (well I asked but they said I would be awsome) and they would actually let me write articles! I would get 40$ for each article that I wrote and that I would go like do something fun or something like see a movie and review it or something! I'm so excited! I don't know when I can but I definally am and I'm going to work for the school newspaper so it'll be somewhat good. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

............bored

  • Apr. 7th, 2006 at 7:18 PM
*sigh* I wish I was cool enough to have a webcomic. I kinda need a website and maybe a good comic, then maybe I might be as popular as my favorites. *sigh* I have a new idea for a story but I don't feel like writing it, maybe I can draw it. Anothing comic to add to my list. I might as well just start my comic when I get the internet on my computer and a scanner. *siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh* i just feel like sighing.

Ashley: Well, there's always me so you're never bored.

Oh this is Ashley, a new fairy boy. Yes, he's a boy with a girl's name, quiet

Indrid: What about me?

You have been replaced.

Indrid: Oh, I see *walks out of the room*

Ashley: he just got served.

Naw, I was just teasing him. I love all my charaters ^.^

Indrid: (Burst into the room with magnums) DIE FAIRY FAGGOT! (shoots in the fairy's general direction but being barely the size of my palm, obviously misses)

Me: holy hell

Ashley: Did you see that! He could have killed me!

Indird: That was the plan (lunges towards the small boy but Ashley was quick and flew up into the corner ceiling. Indrid fired his gun at the ceiling)

Me: This is why I'm so messed up, Indrid keeps shooting holes in my brain (A sparkling small blur flies by followed by a red blur)

Ashley: Make him stop!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: Okay, that's it, I'm calling in the big guns

Three young attrative ladies step into the room.

Ashley: Not Judy!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: Yes, Judy and Rebecca and Arwen

Rebecca: What in the God's name is going on?

Me: Hey, don't take my name in vain. (everyone stares) get it cause I created you guys and control every aspect of your lives like God

Indird: Shut up

Me: (in the corner) I get no respect. Okay! this sillyness has gone on long enough. Who knows how long my journal is now? I bet everyone is totally and utterly confused because they don't know who you guys are.

Ashley: They know me a little bit, see the describion at the top. Did any of you get a describion? Oh, just me, oh, what a shock.

Me: Shut up.

Arwen: (pulling out one of her daggers) You called us in for something and I'm not leaving until I perform my duties. (death glare at the boys)

Me: WHY ARE MY CHARATERS SO UNCONTROLABLE!?

Judy: Well, I'll take care of Ashley since he is like my slave

Ashley: I am not your slave! I'm your friend thanks to your stupid wish!

Judy: Go away, Ash, I'll call for you later

Ashley: fine (disappears with a comical poof)

Rebecca: Indird, do we have to beat you up to demand respect?

Indird: Well...

IF YOU WANT THE PSYCHIC FIGHT A ARCHER AND A TRAINED ASSASSIN, JUST SAY YES BUT IF YOU THINK THIS IS THE STUPIDEST ENTRY EVER THEN I APOLOGIZE BUT I WAS REALLY REALLY BORED!

Hey everyone! Kingdom Hearts 2 is out if you can't tell ^.^

Dancing on a Cloud

  • Mar. 23rd, 2006 at 3:50 PM
Hi, I'm in a very erforic state. Pratically dancing on a cloud.

Yesterday I went to the Writer's Conference and met the two most wonderful boys on the planet. They both go to Fauquier and are amazing writers. I was so lucky to get them in my group. They are both really tall and could only see the top of my head. THEIR WRITING IS AMAZING! It's puts mine to shame. They are amazing and pretty cute. I wish I could meet them again. I sent a email to both of them. I just enjoyed being around them. I want to see more of both of them. I wonder if they had a girlfriend by any chance? They wouldn't go out with me. They haven't seen the crazy, hyper side of me yet. They both seem even tempered and are really funny but not really turn on by hyperness it seems. I just want to be friends with them. They are both writers and they both do drama and they are pirates in Fauquier's play HOW COOL IS THAT!? I just want to see them again and know them better. I just hope I don't screw this up.

I went to the Eagle Spirit award and got nomiated by two teachers. One was my math teachers who I hold in the highest regard and I am very proud to earn his respect and then my homeroom teacher who I find on the little creepy rapist side but I'm glad to get that reward. It's only lately I realized how much I've come out of my shy state and open up to new people. like the two gentlemen at the writer's conference.

My disney font didn't show up ; . ;

  • Mar. 16th, 2006 at 10:08 PM

My brain is like this most of the day, Pirate pirate pirate pirate, SWEET DISNEY FONT! pirate pirate pirate pirate, a pirate sperm? pirate pirate FMA...WTF pirate pirate pirate pirate, Yay...German, pirate and pirate and wow, who would win in a fight between Indrid and Edward? pirate and sleep....lots of sleep
