Hmm, that doesn't look like a middle-aged woman on the prowl...

Peace?
Guess not.
Sometimes, when you extend the olive branch, the other person snaps it in half and hits you with it.
Life goes on.

M-I-C-K-E-
Y? Because I've been accepted into the Walt Disney World College Internship!
In case you haven't been anywhere near myself, a computer or cell phone in the past month, I finally got accepted to the Disney internship that I've always wanted! You've probably already heard seeing as I now walk around saying, "Hi, I move to Disney in August. How are you?" I feel I've earned the right to be bragg-y though.
So, if all goes as planned, I move to sunny Orlando on August 24, 2009 and return to chilly Massachusetts January 8, 2010. Woah. I know. Before all that I graduate in May and hopefully spend the summer working everyday so I won't be poor in Florida. That's one of my many, understandable and expected concerns--being poor. Also on the list: getting a not so fun job with an unflattering costume, being sunburned for all 5 months and being alone/away from family and friends. My family has already planned on visiting for Christmas and my friends say they will visit on winter break.
This internship for me is:
1. An excuse to avoid the real world for a while
2. A new beginning for me
I am so excited to move to a new state and just start fresh. No one down there will know me. No one will have prejudgments. No one will already hate me--they will have at least a little while to get to know me before that happens. I am excited to make friends with someone from Morocco or some place else E.P.C.O.T.-exotic like England. On my most recent visit to the world-of-mouse I tried my best to mingle and be friendly. Not that anyone will remember me come August but it was nice knowing I'd be living with people like that someday soon.
Throughout my Expedition: Disney, I will update this frequently. Maybe with pictures. Maybe with videos. Until then, I will just try and make sure I graduate, get a job and get a head start on my tan.
Ps. I fully intend on meeting Miley/Jonas Bros./every other Disney star I can get my bloggin' hands on!

Spring Broke 2
Ladies and Gents, I did it--I left Massachusetts for spring break.
Unlike last year when I spent my week off in Taunton tan-free and totally sober, this year I went all out. Cancun didn't liquor me up and film me for a late night-censor barred commercial about previously not wild girls. I was also not found half naked on a beach in Miami with a newly inked tramp stamp of an angel flying out of my ass.
Instead, I drank Margaritas in sunny Mexico and ate fish'n'chips in jolly ol'England. I marveled at castles, came unusually close to a giraffe and flew in an elephant. No, I was not high but in the happiest place on Earth. I didn't chose the Tila Tequila-MTV route for my senior year spring break. I actually went the exact opposite and spent three gorgeous and kid-friendly days in Walt Disney World. There was sun, water and fun just with a little more clothing and a little less liquor.
Last year (and all previous years) the main problem was the cash. I never understood how people had the kind of money needed to travel anywhere other than home for the one week off we get in early spring. This year, I still didn't understand and didn't have the money necessary. Thanks to some last minute saving, my family's generous contributions and my boyfriend's credit card, my dream break happened! I hadn't been to Disney in six years and had just applied for a six month internship there for after graduation. This was the year; this was my last chance.
On a completely spur of the moment, an uncharacteristically spontaneous decision was made for my bf and I to go south for spring. We talked, we planned, we purchased and it was a done deal. The ease of all this made me realize how the tanorexic beauties and their beaus travel so extravagantly--plastic! A credit card and bill a whole month away was the key to this whole adventure.
As not-stereotypical as it was, my senior year spring break was spent exactly the way I wanted it. No longer must I envy those glistening bods on the beach because we both got what we needed and have the same credit card bill smiling back at us.

Good morning Barack Obama!
Hope everyone has been watching the patriotic-perfection that is the 2009 Presidential Inauguration of President Barack H. Obama!
Some highlights thus far of this wintry Washington wonder...
Some highlights thus far of this wintry Washington wonder...
The former Chiefs of State:
- President Bush Sr.'s fur hunting cap
- President Jimmy Carter being all cute and elderly
- President Clinton's painfully awkward we're on TV-for the love of Obama pretend to like me-embraces with Hilary "this shoulda been me, damn it" Clinton
The first family:
- Michelle O in her flowing golden dress and matching cape designed by Isabel Toledo alongside Malia and lil Sasha Fierce in their fresh first kid wardrobes worthy of some kiddie runway action. (In case you missed it: the little fiercettes were recently serenaded by the Jonas Bros. in all their glory on the Disney Channel Inauguration special!)
- President Obama in his classy red tie and white shirt and that perfect accessory on his face--that warm, welcoming and hopeful smile from ear to ear
On a more serious swearing in of a president note, this has been a beautiful and emotional day for the whole world. As I type this, I am watching with goosebumps as Obama recites his oath, stumbling here and there proving that he is human and understands what he is undertaking (although, they do expect him to remember a lot to recite back in one take).
It's after 12:00 pm on the East Coast which officially means Bush Jr. can make his way merrily back to Texas and Obama, the forever historical first black president, can make himself comfy in the big White House.
