Well, it's official...Kaycie has moved. In a little over a month I will be starting my third year of college. I have amazing friends. I love the people in my life...But I feel like I'm being suffocated by everything here. Does that make any sense? I'm working on getting happier and doing things I want to do. This past year has changed me so much. Some for the better...some for the worst.
In the past year I have gone through so much. More than I had ever expected I would. I got a new roomie, who I thought was crazy and didn't really want to talk to now...she's not so bad, I got to meet the 100 Monkeys (which includes Jackson Rathbone...aka Jasper Hale in the Twilight Saga), I found out my uncle was dying from an extremely rare liver cancer, I went crazy, I lost said uncle July 1, 2010...and that was all within the start of 2010.
I've had fun mixed in with all the sadness through this time. Kaycie, Morgan, and myself got to meet Tyler Hilton and Dion Roy at WorkPlay..and Kaycie and I got to meet Bobby Long at WorkPlay too. If I could I would live there. I love the atmosphere of that place. I'd quit my job in a heart beat to work there. I so love it.
I have come to terms with things that I would imagine in my head would happen...that just aren't ever going to happen. Giving up on far fetched dreams can be a little depressing..but my heart will be more protected this way. Who can you trust anymore? Only yourself...and sometimes that's not the best idea either.
My little sister is going to be a Junior in High School in August....I feel so unbelievable old. But, this makes me think about what I was like going into my Junior year....It's weird to see how extremely different we are. The summer before my Junior year I was helping out with the football team, I was trying to put the pieces of my shattered 15 year old heart back together and move on. I started liking a guy who made me feel special and important...and let's just say that that didn't work out to my advantage either. My little sister on the other hand, has gone on several dates and is gorgeous. The boys love her. She's more interested in finding a job than doing a whole lot of extracurricular activities. Which is good for her personality. I'm proud of her. Really I am. Jealous of the way boys seem to be drawn to her? Yes. But happy for her getting to do all she wants.
I sometimes wonder what my High School years would have been like if I did things differently...what if I would have said one thing instead of another...flirted with this one guy instead of being shy...but, I guess we just learn to move on. I don't want to be stuck in the past. I don't want the best years of my life to be the four years I spent in high school. Did I have fun? Yes. Do I wish I was back there? Heck no.
I have decided that once I graduate I'm going to try to move to London. I think a break from people around here is just what I need. The only contact I'd be able to have with anyone really would be Facebook or Skype. And the time differences are so large that even that would be hard to pull off. I need a clear head. I can't think straight about things around different people. I need away from that. I want to go and be who I want to be. Not someone that is known as people's younger or older sister. Not someone who has all these different expectations for people that constantly let me down. I want to be care free and hang out with people and be able to act fool and not be judged for that. I want to feel important to someone. I want to receive as much as I give. And I haven't found that here. I feel like I put so much effort into certain things and get nothing in return. I enjoy spending time with people and I love my friends. But sometimes it'd be nice to feel appreciated. To feel like someone is thinking of me. Someone wants me. So many choices to make and it seems like I have no time to make them. I think a year abroad would do me good. Maybe kick this anxiety's butt that I have gained in the past year. It would be so nice to feel somewhat normal again. I guess time will tell. If I'm meant to live in London then it will happen. If I'm not, well, I'm getting the heck out of Alabama. I can't stay here forever.
Until next time my lovely readers.

When You Wish Upon A Star....
Well, it's Friday, my last official day of vacation. Tomorrow we leave to head back home, but not before we make a pit stop at a beach and relax for a little while. It has been a remarkable trip. We have done SO much! I've loved every second of it!
We got here last Wednesday. Rileigh and I went to Epcot on Thursday, and let me tell you, Epcot....is amazing. We both love all things British and we were able to eat lunch at the UK pavilion. We also went shopping! I got a Union Jack key chain, a super cute purse that I can't wait to use, and a bracelet. I think that's it. We ate fish and chips for lunch..and I hate fish. But...it wasn't too terrible bad. I should have so been British. And born in the '80s to rock the bad dance moves...but, that's another story. We then went through the rest of the 'world' and had French pastries. I got a strawberry tart and Rileigh got a chocolate mousse. Both were incredible. Yum!!! We met Tinkerbell before we went back into the worlds part. Waited in line for her for like an hour and a half....yeah...I know. We rode some rides...drank some pop from all over the world. Germany's was the bomb. It's like orange flavored coke. Kinda like how they have cherry coke..but just orange. uhhh....let's see...what else happened that day....we rode the future ride...and created our future. It's pretty funny. And I wanna say that's it...
Friday we went to the the Aquarium and Clearwater Beach. That was fun!! :) The Aquarium was pretty legit. I'll have to post pictures of that when I get home. We saw a penguin 'show.' That was fun. Shopped a little and then left for the beach. Ahhh.....the beach. So nice and relaxing. Beach boys are very nice to look at. ;) Then, Rileigh's awesome parents bought us pizza for dinner and we left shortly after that.
Saturday we went to Universal Studios. It was pretty cool. Got to walk through a house that looked like it had been hit by a tornado, for the movie Twister, and then got to stand in a thing that looked like it was a scene from the movie and witness a 'tornado' tearing up the drive in movie theater...super legit. Then, we went on the Mummy ride....gotta say..not a fan. Scared the mess out of me. But, I'm not much of a ride person anyways. We walked around some more.....AND GOT TO SEE THE ACTUAL CARS FROM FAST FIVE!!!! Yes...the very cars Paul Walker and Vin Diesel sat their beautiful butts in. It was super legit. Almost died. I love the fast and furious movies! :) We watched a Horror movie make up show. That was weird...and also pretty awesome. The make up guy was probably on something....I think. Dude was insane. We ate lunch at a '50s place that reminded me of Johnny Rockets. It was soo good!! Walked around...looked in the shops..didn't buy anything.
Sunday...was....STAR WARS WEEKEND at Hollywood studios so, Rileigh, her little sister, and myself went there. It was AWESOME!!! We stood in line for like an hour to meet Darth Vader. Oh Yeah!!! Got his autograph and a picture with him. Ba Boom!! We ate lunch at the Sci Fi diner....amazing. Some of those old sci fi movies looked so ridiculous...like 'Cat Women on the Moon'....yeah go YouTube that crap. haha!!! So entertaining. The food was fabulous. And Rileigh's amazing parents paid for it! :) So sweet. We rode the Star Tours ride...that was legit. It was like we were in the different places and on the different planets...super cool. We rode that one...twice I think. We also met Luke and Laia...Laia was super nice! And Luke was hilarious. hahaha! We bought tshirts and this super awesome key chain....that's a lightsaber! How freaking cool is that?!?! I got Anikan's, Rileigh got Darth Vader's because that's her man. We also watched some show where the Star Wars characters have a dance off. Darth Vader knows how to bust a move...so does Chewbacca. Totally awesome!!! I took some videos...fingers crossed that they turn out well. haha.
Monday was the Magic Kingdom...and it was in fact magical. We didn't get there until like 12:30 because we slept in. But, we took the monorail to get there and then went through the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House...super cool! I love that movie!! Then we went to ride the Pirates of the Caribbean ride...The pirates looked so real!! And the Jack Sparrow robot thingy looked just like Johnny Depp. It was amazing. I loved it. Then, we went to get ourselves a nice little treat. We got pineappley things. I got a pineapple float...I LOVED it!!! Rileigh got pineapple ice cream, she enjoyed hers as well. Then we ventured off to the Haunted Mansion...kinda freaky but, not too bad! We then went to find Rapunzel and Flynn Rider! I had to meet them 1) for myself and 2) for my sweet 4 year old niece. Little did we know that it was going to take us FOREVER to meet them. I stood in line for an hour and a half waiting to get in to meet them. Rileigh went to go ride a roller coaster I wasn't going to ride with her and I waited for our turn. Our line was cut off at 3:15 because they blocked it off and the next group wouldn't be able to go in until 4:15....welll....a TON of people left and I was able to make myself one of the first people that would be able to get in. Rileigh returned just in time for us to go in and meet them! They were both so super nice and funny. It was so worth the wait to meet them. :) We then went and rode the rides in the fairytale part. That was pretty fun. I enjoyed those ones. ;) We then made our way to Main Street and ate some AWESOME hot dogs. They were soooo good. Then...we went to stake out our seat for the light parade and the fireworks. We sat there for 2 hours before the parade started. But it was fun. We talked to some nice people from....Arkansas? And totally stalked a beautiful British man that works in the park. :) Then the light parade...super cool!!! Then we waited for the Fireworks and that was just amazing. Then, we went and rode a few more kiddie rides and then Rileigh rode Space Mountain and then we left!
Tuesday, we went shopping in Downtown Disney...not a whole lot to say about that. It was super fun and I got my niece's gifts! :) yay!!! Wednesday we had a lazy day. I literally stayed in bed until like 5 that night. It was amazing. Then we babysat all the little kids!
Thursday is where the fun really begins....we went to Island of Adventures!!!!! Yes, that is where the Harry Potter park is located. It was simply amazing!! I am going to have to end this here for now though...I promise to update and talk about Harry Potter World as soon as possible! Off to eat dinner and pack for the ride home tomorrow!!
