Day 15

we officially have haunt opening in 2 days! this was preview night one! a little crazy! bang was performing while i took this picture! those boys are amazing...just missing justin though :) any ways...a lot of stress off the shoulders after the first day night of preview...but still another night to go! AH! but it's all good! let's go HAUNT!

Day 14

i got to hang out with my little pheobe jane today! i haven't seen her since august 1st when she and her family came to great america :) zooey is starting to like me as well...so that's good...she doesn't just star at me any more...but wow i have missed her! it was nice to have the day off...even though it was REALLY hot today...nick and i just stayed in since we have ac in the apartment...the haunting continues tomorrow!

Day 13

so i went to wardrobe distribution after black widow cavern's scare school...gemma was trying to sweep in there and stumbled onto a praying mantis...she tried to shoo it out so i just picked it up...it kept crawling all over me...it tickled but it made my night...if i can play with bugs (that won't bite me) i will! he was a cut little bugger...but i couldn't figure out a name for him sadly...so i finally let him go into the trees...i was a little sad saying good-bye to my friends...

Day 12

so...today at the end of the shift...gemma, catherine and i got stuck in the haunt supervisor office due to a skunk that happpened to pass by...it wouldn't leave an none of us was about to go outside where it could chase us around...but then this black cat came along...and got him to go away...i wish i could have gotten a better picture of it...but there wasn't much light around...but this made our night a little crazy...being that it is the end of the week!

Day 11

so...while doing carn-evil scare school today...patrick was giving notes...and this is what i saw in front of me...i started laughing on the inside...i seriously needed this all day! the heat...the stress...HAUNT! it was great! if you don't know what it is...it's a baboon's butt :) we added forms of monkeys unto the attraction and this is what i will remember from it! i also like the fact that it is shaped liked a heart <3

Day 10

so one of the shows we have for haunt is fangs! which the costumes were all built by our wonderful wardrobe crew! so i decided that in dedication to their 12 hour work days they should be a part of my blog! here are the michelles working hard on the couch! this was towards the last part of their shift so you can tell they were getting a little delusional! they are such hard workers!!!

Day 9

nick bought me the the official ring today!!!

it is NOT a diamond! i requested not to have one...i wanted one that was unique to me :) so it has a opal in the center and pink sapphires on the side...it also has a really cute heart detail :) if you ever see me...just ask to see it :)

Day 8

so we did scare school for werewolf canyon today...there is an excited bunch there! it will interesting to see them with actual people running through! this sign is now located in there...i'm a little sad is it was one of the signs hanging off the proscenium during the endless summer on ice show...so it makes me really sad...oh well...good to know that it's being used for something then...so tired now....must sleep!

Day 7

so tonight began the haunt scare schools! CLUB BLOOD!!! i tired to take a picture of the sign out in front of the maze...but it wasn't bright enough :( this however is a picture of our wardrobe distribution area where all the costumes are as well as where people get their make-up done! this picture doesn't do it justice...it looks much bigger than this! LOTS of costumes everywhere! it was fun and exciting today...however i wanted to shoot myself when i was trying to certify a blackout and he wasn't getting ANYTHING!!! and this is even after someone else tried to help me dumb down the questions for him...we'll see how he does NEXT week! i hate stupid people! random...while in the middle of certifying one of the blackouts...i got a very sad phone call from a friend all the way on the other side of the country...what made it worse is that i wish i could have given him a big hug through the phone...but i couldn't... :( he's a great guy and an amazing person and his situation sucks...the worst part is that is haunt related...just not with our park! it's lat so i should go to bed now! good night!

Day 6

today was a nice day...full of shopping...while i was wondering in target i found this sign...which happens to be one of my favorite sayings...i even have a necklace with it...nick asked if i wanted to buy it and i said it was okay...but i really do like this saying :) and the tips of my shoes made it into the picture!

Day 5

so today...i had to finish up the last of the certifying in the mazes at great america...i walked through cornstalkers with some of the theater attendants and christine one of the maze supervisors...as we were heading back and not wanting go through the burlap...we saw this lonely guy hanging on the fence under the grizzle...he was actually by himself and shouldn't have been there...what a nice looking fella! it's haunt mode for me so the mass of the pictures i'll be posting will probably be all haunt related! i don't know if that is a good or bad thing...

Day 4

i had a late concert today for muslim unity at great america...it's also the last concert of the year!!! now it's all haunt...this picture is of the last performer who had A LOT of people leave while he was rapping away...it was a pretty chill concert...nothing else really happened today though...it was just boring...AH!

Day 3

so today after work i went and drove to the city to hang out with my buddy branden....i met him at the red vic theater and larry was there too! i hung out with greg and talked with him most of the time...i finally met the famous tommy wiseau who is the director, writer and main character of the cult classic "the room" you will have to watch the movie to get some of the jokes like this picture of tommy and greg throwing the football back and forth to each other :) greg is a great guy...tommy is a little on the crazy side...but he is fun to be around! i really had a great night! it was definitely full of laughs :) and now it's almost 4:00am so i should be getting to bed!

Day 2

so bart insisted that we hang out for my birthday but i was too tired so i hung out with him and my lovely theresa after work today...we ended up in our typical place...FLAMES! which their cakes are amazingly good and i sadly could not finish my wonderful birthday treat :( so this is the final result of it :) couldn't even get through half of it! so it's not in my fridge! i've missed bart and theresa so much! this post is almost 2 and a half hours late because i was hanging out with them the rest of the night :)

Day 1

i'm starting something new...seth was the one that started it and i thought i would be appropriate to start on my birthday and see where i go before my next birthday! so i just figured i would post a picture of me...at 26 years old :) hopefully all the other ones will be more exciting than this...but it's a way to start it off!
