giaalek: glory hole. gotta love them.

@jopo: ...what?

[arabellaramon-blog]

Of course. i tell everybody everything. you know i can’t keep a secret. Learning is boring! When has learning ever been fun? Except for the time when the teacher brings in brownies and teaches you about the fractions. That was fun.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

Learning is fun when you have the right subject. Brownies? I never got those. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

[chandrapatel-blog]

Universal! I figured I could make a decent gig as the bitchy Indian, Pavarti Patil.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

What? Do they really cast Harry Potter characters? 

[hummelises-blog]

Tell you what, you can give me your own private Giselle concert!

[joannapolinsky-blog]

Well, that’s nice of you. I can’t promise you won’t hate it, though.

[hummelises-blog]

I think you can do anything you set your mind to. Really? That’s dumb, because I love her.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

Well, aren’t you just ever inspiring? I love it. It’s very ludicrous because I love her and it’s not fair that I can’t sing “How Do You Know” for everyone!

[arabellaramon-blog]

Me too. My mom would have been so angry. I know, you’d think I would have learned that by now. But I haven’t, because learning is lame.

Thank you. I guess it has to be alright if I’m still my mother’s favorite translator.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

Do you tell her everything? As long as you show up to work, can they really be that upset? Wait, what? Learning is fun! I learn every day and I love it.

You’re very welcome. You’re awesome. I wouldn’t lie to you. When do I get to meet her, though?

[josiecarlson]

Is it okay? Or are we destined to nights alone with pets and Netflix forever?

[joannapolinsky-blog]

I’m sure it will be. If anything, we can be friends. Plus, I love Netflix!

[mollywest-blog1]

I’m pretty sure...

[mollywest-blog1]

IT WAS LITERALLY THE CUTEST, JO.   Tragically Rapunzel couldn’t whip out an iPhone then and there, but I think they have a video of it on their YouTube channel.  Disney vloggers pretty much live to encapsulate every possible Disney moment they can get their hands on, let’s be real.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

Oh, I’m sure it was. I’m a crybaby when it comes to proposals. And weddings. I weep every time. You could have been sneaky about it! But I get it. Wouldn’t want to get fired. I will be searching for said video all night. I’ll probably get so caught up in all of them now that I think about it. What a way to end my Monday.

[cordeliaharts-deactivated201604]

They’re both wonderful things, but also very patience testing. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve fallen off my board. Hello! Oh, thank you. She’s also my favorite, but that’s probably because we share a name. I also love Tara.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

I like to think I have patience, but I lack visual creativity and balance. You’re very welcome. She’s also very strong. You also look pretty similar. Tara is amazing. Sadly, it’s an unpopular opinion, but I really love Dawn, too.

[josiecarlson]

I’M SO BAD AT THE INTERNET! I keep forgetting I have this thing and I’m pretty sure that’s not the way to make friends… oops?

[joannapolinsky-blog]

I’m pretty bad at making friends, too, but it’s okay.

[mollywest-blog1]

I’m pretty sure...

…that getting to watch proposals happen in front of me on a daily basis is arguably one of the cutest and sweetest job perks there is.  Even if some of them are, like, really cheesy or painfully overdone.

BUT I did watch two Disney vloggers get engaged today and I’m the nerd who totally subscribes to both of their channels, and it was their last day here before they head back to Orlando and… okay, yeah.  I might have squeaked.

A LITTLE.

We’re talking a tiny, tiny shriek.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

I hope someday that I get to see a proposal! That would be just too cute. Did you get a video?! Wait, no, you probably didn’t. I assume you were in character.

[arabellaramon-blog]

Swinging around in the hot sun on an 81% capacity day? NOT FUN. Having a hangover whilst swinging around  in the hot sun on an 81% capacity day? HELL. This should probably teach me better than to to body shots the night before work, but in the great words of some terrible pop artist: you only live once.

How is everyone recuperating? Is that the right word? I don’t know. I don’t have an English degree. I barely even have a degree.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

I’m so glad you didn’t overheat! You should never ever drink if you have to work the next day, though. I’m sorry that I didn’t stop you somehow. 

Re-cooperating, yes. Your English is just fine.  

[cordeliaharts-deactivated201604]

Protip: Don’t skateboard to work with your art supplies, because you will fall off your board, and you will get paint all over yourself and the pavement. You’ll also end up with grazed knees and a sore ass. At least some kids told me I looked cool. Apparently paint all over your clothes is fashionable these days? Anyway, I’m Cordelia, and I heard this place is cool from Alex, so uh, yeah. Hello.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

I will make sure not do to any of that. Mostly because skateboarding is a foreign concept to me, and I also don’t paint. But hello, Cordelia! That’s such a pretty name. Cordelia is my favorite Buffy character!

[chandrapatel-blog]

Is it technically illegal for me to go on an audition for another company? No? Oops, I just did.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

It is for me, but I don’t know your contract. For your sake, I hope not! What did you audition for?

[radleyweston]

Oh, really? I’m glad to hear that. I’m free to help you move if you happen to need the extra muscle!

[joannapolinsky-blog]

I didn’t come here with much, so luckily it won’t take a lot to move. But, thank you so much! You’re welcome to help decorate if you’d like.

[felixkhalil-blog]

Arabella, huh? I suppose we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other in that case. Any excuse to keep the rooms hot and clothing minimal. It’s a waste to cover all this hard work.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

The one and only! Will we? Are you also friends with her? Because that’s great! Sure, but what about that “No Clothing” policy? Wouldn’t that cancel out the heat necessity? 

[arabellaramon-blog]

I know! It’s going to be so fun. I’ll stock up on tequila. I’d love to help, of course. That’s what roommates are for. I think. I don’t know. I’ve never had a roommate. You’re my FIRST.

[joannapolinsky-blog]

I appreciate that, but I’m not old enough to drink, yet. Really? I’ve never been anyone’s first for anything, believe it or not. So, technically, you’re my first, too!
