WOW!

I had one hell of a week. Nevermind the fact that I was terribly ill and yarfing my brains out last night. I'm better now, havent gotten sick today......so that's good.

Soooooooooooooo let's backtrack a bit. Firstly, I had many another strange phone conversation with the ONE AND ONLY pAndi, but then again as weird as it is, it's becoming the norm. Heh-Heh!

Allright, so Monday I was off to pick up Rachel...........fellow D-Lander and my Rancid Twin. I was both giddy and apprehensive at the same time. Nomatter how long or how well you have known someone on-line you are always nervous meeting them. So she called at like 7:00 and we sett off to Orlando. We got there and arrived at her hotel, after many twists and turns and nearly geeting lost we ofund the room. I stood there for nearly a whole minute, then knocked....her sister answered the door, a minute later Rachel came bounding out of the bathroom.....

We shared hugs and squeals.......Rach is so pretty and so sweet! She had on a Pirates of The Craibbean shirt and a pirates hat! MWHA! So after confirming plans to pick up her sister in the morning we were off back to my place. We got there around 11:30 or so and I ran up Dominoe's to order dinner before they closed. Pizza arrived and we all settled in to watc Pirates. Well just a bit over half done my boyfriend proclaims he's going to bed. Rachel and I decide it's best to just stay up, it's like 2:30 and we have to be up at 6.....

So we just say up, flipping channels we find this Praise-AThon thing on the christian network.....so we start watching that, just for fun because those things always crack me up........not christianity mind you, but these people trying to steal others money and such, that amuses me....so if your christian dont take offense, I respect all religions, I just hate those sows that try to steal peoples money.....anyways, so we start watching that......it was so hilarious. Rachel and I oculdnt stop laughing, we kept saying the most random things and just being completley and utterly goofy! At some points we were both laughing so hard I thought we were going to die, or start crying.

Rach was so awesome, we totally bonded over goofy t.v., POTC quotes and sharing Rancid experiences. We said so much and had to explain practically nothing.....we totally understood eachother with no effort expended. It was so nice, we talked about punk music and how much it means to both of us and why..........it was even better than I had expected it to be.

So I definitley will always remember that night. Bonding over crappy t.v., Rancid, Pizza, and giggles. Life gets no better........

So then around 6:30 we start getting ready to go. Unfourtanatley a slight damper is put on things as my dog Kiefer got Rachel's medicine from her purse and opened it...we werent sure if he ate any. Fouranatley hours later at Disney I got ahold of my Mom and he was fine.

So we start the drive to Disney.....we get there and meet Danny's aunt and get in for free, then leave again to pick up Rachel's siser. We do so and proceed back to Disney, now between my boyfriend with tattoo on head, and the million faical piercings between Rach, her sister and I we are allready geeting the weird looks, and we hadnt even done anything yet.

It didnt help that we kept imporvising words to the Quizno's subs samsters song.....like "I AM DRUNK! IT'S ONLY 10 A.M." and such......we had been drinking all night......lol

So we got into Disney, and went to Pirates of The Caribbean, big surprise..........I kept singing the bloody "Yo Ho" song over, and over, and over.........heh-heh and we got on the ride, and yes WE DID smuggle in the rum, and YES we did drink it on POTC.....now HOW COOL is that?

One of the coolest things one can say one did I think, drinking rum on POTC....it gets no better than that. It really doesnt, I mean come on...........how brilliant is that?~Is proud of self~

Then we hit the gift shop, I went insane and promptly got a POTC shirt, a white-silver skull and crossbones all aged on a black shirt that says "Dead Men Tell No Tales", my Pirates hat, a eye patch thingie, a huge Pirates flag and so on.

Then we proceeded to run around and be weird, being downright silly. Kids kept saying "Look Mommy! PIRATES!" and such, the Disney cast members kept playing liek we were pirates, like one guy started playing the POTC song when we walked by the piano, and others were like "OH NO! PIRATES!" We even designated our own smoking area on the top of a hill, which we werent supposed to be on in the first place.....BWHA! Go us! We really did have far to much fun, I kept quoting POTC over and over, and was constantly running about saying "Aye! Avast!"

Then we went to MGM............I was looking for a plushie to buy myself, I never leave without plushies from anyplace I go. So we went into the Villians store, I was about to settle for the Malifecent dragon when I saw these big Si and Am stuffed siamese kitties, you know the evil ones from Lady and The Tramp "We are siamese if you please, we are simese if you dont please..." that whoel bit, well my boyfriend was just about to buy them for me and was finding a way to distract me but I caught him.........but they are SO CUTE! Seriously, I love those cats!

The on to Tower of Terror......Rach, her sister and my boyfriend had been on it before but I hadnt. I wasnt scared, I have been on some terrfiying roller-coasters before and such. So we get on, and they give you like literally NO WARNING, your just dropepd some 20 stories at random....and then they keep dropping you for a random number of times, they drop you so fast for a few seconds there is 0 gravity.....my purse was floating...lol! I was terrified, I actually thought for a split second I might die....seriously...it was so terrifying I oculdnt even scream, it was liek someone had shoved a dry sponge down my throat.....

I was shaking and my knees turned to Jello....lol!

But it was a fun terrifying trust me. Would definitley do it again.

Rach and I then bought plastic swords and beat eachother up, then we parted ways, Rach and her sister back to their hotel because they needed sleep, and Danny and I back to Disney for Fireworks and last minute rides.....

So we got back to Disney and ran to POTC so I could get my flag, the ride was open so we hopped on. Mch fun, then we got on Thunder Mouantin Railroad, which is much longer and more fun, then on Splash Mouantin.....we also watched a bit of the Spectra parade which was so pretty, plus I got to see Alice in Wonderland and The Wicked Queen and Captain Hook so I was happy.

Then we watched the fireworks, which were SO GORGEOUS.....I actually cried a bit because it was so what I needed, to run about and be a kid and be stupid......it felt so good, it REALLY, REALLY did. So yes, I got kind of weepy and just stood there singing "when you wish upon a star" and trying to keep my eye-liner from running.

On the way out I once again saw these HUGE Tinkerbell baloons, just gorgeous, it's Tinkerbell like sitting with her chin in her hands with big, blue sparkly wings. Dannt had pointed them out earlier but didnt get one....I guess he had been plotting it lal day cause he pulled me over to the guy. The guy was almost out of Tinkerbells but Danny caught his attention and got one of the last ones!

SQUEEE!

And it's the re-fillable type!

DOUBLE YAY!

so anyways, yes Rach was amazing, and gave me the coolest gift ever, one of the rare Rancid shirts I DONT own and a PAIR OF RANCID SOCKS!

Seriously though, being a kid for a day is good.....it makes you feel different, breathe different, and even look at the stars different. So thats the lesson to be learned from this entry.

And for anyone who cares, my smelly muse is still smelly.

Until Then...
