we drew our own constellations

"The light was leaving
In the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
And skipping just like the stones they threw
The voices echoed across the way
Its getting late
It was just another night
With the sun set
And the moon rise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to papas translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
The west winds often last too long
The wind may calm down
Nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
Stars above are chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough
All else fades
Fades away"

Intro to Disney!

Hello! And welcome to Disneyworld! I am currently in Florida as most of you know and I am having the time of my life! I have met so many people from all around the world! (no joke!) I've met people from all over the U.S. and i've met people from China, Cambodia, England, Mexico, Argentina, Costa Rica, Thailand, Norway, etc! It's crazy how diverse disney is! haha.
But anyways i havent been eaten by an alligator! phew!
So i work in Animal Kingdom at the Flame Tree BBQ, and i love it so far! My trainer is hilarious and everyone is so laid back.
Yesterday was my first day of like "real" training, me and this girl Tania from New York are brand new and being trained together and we have had such a good time! So since we are working with food we got to sample ALL OF IT. no joke, i havent been that full in a REALLY long time. haha, we had beans, coleslaw, ribs, bbq chicken, pork sandwich, onion rings, fries, fruit plate, key lime mousse, chocolate mousse, 2 different kinds of bbq sauce, and a cupcake! holy! it was delicious :)
ah, free food :D
anyways, so last night after work a bunch of us met and we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios and rode my favorite ride HOLLYWOOD TOWER OF TERROR! (we get in free to ALL the parks, just fyi)
Then we watched Fantasmic which was fantastic!
I didn't have to work today, so i got to stay up late and go have fun at the parks!
But yeah, disney is great. The people here are amazinggg, and i don't even really mind the humidity now!
(I'm sorry this is such a long wordy post that isn't funny...)
Anyways, come to disneyworld and visit me!

anyways, life is good!

[kristen]

it's funnier in spanish.

hi hi
well jq is now in florida! or she's on her way. i wish i could visit her!
anyways, life's pretty good. a few things that have happened since i last posted:
-i still don't have much of a social life right now but i'm a-okay with that.
-we went to a YSA bonfire the other night. it was weird, because no matter how much they push that it should be a "mingle" thing, people still continue to hangout in the groups they are comfortable with. some guy came up to us and said that some girl had him go get the "stats" on a guy for her. umm...yeah. what? girls like that just don't get it. haha. also while at the bonfire a guy we were with told us a joke that wasn't funny at all, and all he said was "it's funnier in spanish." the perfect save to a stupid joke. but really, it is funnier in spanish because it's all about word play in spanish.

por ejemplo- english: what does the dog do when he is in the pool? he swims

spanish: que hacer el perro cuando esta en la piscina? nada.

[you would only get it if you speak spanish.]

-while i was getting my record read in at church on sunday, bishop said "brother kristen noel cagle." i'm no brother! how embarassing.
-i finally have a second interview at a job tomorrow. so i hopefully will have a job tomorrow! wootwoot.
-i have a new obsession with the band citizen cope. SO GOOD. have a listen, if you don't mind.

anyways, it's probably one of the weirdest transitions ever coming home from college. it's just a whole different vibe. but i think once i get a job and start working a lot it will get a whole lot better.

i've been watching scrubs a lot lately. if you don't watch that show, you probably should because it is a good show. aside from all the sexual jokes and stupid humor, it has some really good messages. i almost cried! sheesh.

i'm seeing dierks bentley in concert on saturday!!!! I CANT WAIT! he's playing after the padres game. it i going to be so great- i've never been to a country concert so i am pretty dang excited. baseball+country music= the all american experience.

bada bing bada boom.
