Well hello there ma'am, thank you for invading my personal space, I'd love to take pictures of you and your family in front of a big ball... Of course I'll get the whole ball in the picture I've only shot this seventy times today alone. Yes I will take one with your camera as well, just in case I don't do well with mine. Oh and thank you for showing me how to use your simple digital camera, i've never seen one of these before and it looked quite confusing at first. I wasn't sure if you pushed the big silver button on top, or if technology had surpassed me again, but thank you for clearing that all up.
Now, on with the pictures! Yes, you look fine. I'm sorry, I dont know any tricks that will take ten pounds off. Secretly i'm feeling sorry for your poor children, they look tired, but your yelling at them to smile like they haven't just walked an entire park in a few hours. But I'm just going to smile and go along until you're ready. Everyone posed?
Right then, I'll snap just a few pictures here... oh no, your two year old won't keep looking at the camera. Thats a great idea, lets hold their head in place. Just a few more... great. Those pictures will be pure magic. hats that? Oh, you'd like pictures of each child seperately? Sure! I'm getting paid either way... and the seperate familys as well? Not a problem. You'll just have twenty seven pictures from this one area. Hope thats not a problem for you, but i'd be willing to bet you're going for a picture cd... mhm. I thought so.
Let me just take a few more then, add a couple magic shots with a favorite character or two... oh yes, and we can't forget the cutesy ones. Thank you ma'am, I hope you have a magical day here at the park. Now please walk away so I can remove this stupid smile plastered to my face, It's beginning to hurt...

Get Over It
I've recently fallen for a song by OK GO called Get Over It.
Lot of knots, lot of snags, lot of holes, lot of cracks lot of crags. Lot of naggin' old hags, lot of fools, lot of fool scum bags.Oh it's such a drag, what a chore... oh your wounds are full of salt.Everything's a stress and what's more, well it's all somebody's fault.
Hey! Get over it!
Makes you sick, makes you ill, makes you cheat, slipping change from the till.Had it up to the gills... makes you cry whilethe milk still spills. Ain't it just a bitch? What a pain...Well it's all a crying shame. Whatleft to do but complain? Better find someone to blame.
Hey! Get over it!
Got a job, got a life, got a four-door and a faithless wife.Got those nice copper pipes, got an ex, got a room for the night.Aren't you such a catch?What a prize! Got a body like a battleaxe... Love that perfect frown, honest eyes...We ought to buy you a Cadillac.

The Future
I've been doing a lot of thinking about the future lately. I credit this to everyone around me talking about college and their majors and such. Until recently I thought I'd had everything planned out. However that seems to have dissipated. I had assumed at a young age that I was going to travel around Europe, but then I also figured I would never find a person that I related with as much as I have. This change I have accepted gratefully as I have never felt this way before and it's overwhelming in an exciting way. I don't know what I would do without having his support and I thank him for that.
As for schooling, I don't even know what I want to do anymore. I thought I would be majoring in Graphic design however being here in Disney and working as a photopass photographer has brought a new light to photography for me. I've discovered I enjoy making people laugh and capturing moments for them to keep. If there was any guarantee of being successful in photography I'd jump right into it from here. But I am worried for my success. I don't know where I want to be, and the fact of being unsure makes me nervous. I thought that at this point in my life I would know what direction I want to go but I don't.

Truth
I'm a blogging noob. So I'll probably start things off a little slow. In case the header of my blog does not give it away, I'm a very... very sarcastic person. I am currently a resident in the boot camp of a college internship working for Disney. Being that they don't take as kindly to sarcasm as my hometown, it will all be channeled here.... yay! I'll probably be writing quite a bit about being in Florida because its one of the biggest things going on in my life right now... I don't think I could handle anything bigger truthfully, this could just kill me. Unless my throat does first.
