#clapping-talent feels

Hello yes I was messing around in a practice room today to warm up before lessons and I’ve really been wanting to sing something for Pixiedust-Paycheck’s little baby boy- so here have this lame audio of me singing Mickey and the Magical Map. I know its not perfect but its something for him and that’s all that matters… 😬

This Clapping-Talent just got her wings

I just got the e-mail this morning; I was offered a position in Attractions as part of the Disney World College Program! I am so excited and incredibly blessed. I am going to be a Disney Cast Member!! Thank you all so much for your continued support and for putting up with my stressful posts. I love you all so much and I am so excited for what lies ahead of me!

Good run tonight

I usually go for a walk/ jog in the late evening because I'm trying to lose weight. I go to an outdoor track by my house which happens to be next to an elementary school, so there are some parks nearby which kids like to come to. Tonight I was running on and off my first ten minutes as usual when a family came by and started walking along the track. They had a four year old son who rode his scooter ahead of his parents around the tack. I had my headphones in and was minding my own business as usual, shyly avoiding eye contact and what not. I noticed the sound of this boy's scooter slow down behind me and speed up when I would run. I think the boy was going along with me. To test this theory, I sped up. The scooter sped up. I broke into a sprint. The scooter aggressively followed until I stopped. He rode on ahead. I figured he would keep going, but he stopped a little while up and waited. As I approached him, I said a quick 'hi,' which he returned. He kept following me like this for a while until I took out my wad phones. I ended up striking up a conversation with him, learning his name, age, favorite color, favorite sport and what not. He had me race him. He paced my running. I decided to turn off my running app and just walked with him and played with him instead. And it was so great. I love kids so much. And while I don't know if I burned as many calories, and I didn't beat this week's mile, this had been my favorite work out all week. I'm just sharing this here so I can look back on this someday maybe, but I am just so happy. I love playing with kids. I love children and how accepting and eager they are to play. I know this might be a little thing to a lot of people- but I just- I'm so happy right now. ;W;

So last night at this twins festival there were fireworks. We watched it from outside of our hotel because the view is a actually really nice. Well, there were these 6 year old boys outside too. He started playing with his shadow, so i came along and made an elephant hand shadow (because its clever and it's the only cool thing I know how to do). He then made a snapping thing with his hands. He proceeded to tell me it was a Snap Dragon. 0-0 And of course the HTTYD fan in me was like HEY KID YEAH LET'S MAKE UP A DRAGON. So we talked about his dragon, me prompting things like what does it eat and what not. And I mean, we played with his for a little bit. And then I declare he never grow up. But I mean, I am so thankful for my time in Alice. I've gotten so much more comfortable talking to children and I just feel so blessed. I think children are one of the most important things in the world, and I'm finally starting to be able to have a part of it. I just can't... So thanks, Spider-Man kid. You are awesome.
