And How Was It?
Aug. 7th, 2008 08:42 amDaisy Duck, Donald's girlfriend, doesn't like me.
I mean, really, that's what I got out of this whole trip. We went to a character breakfast. Mickey was there, Goofy, and Donald too. They all liked me, got a picture with me, fooled around to get me to smile. Daisy? She came to our table, let me take a picture of her and my wife together, turned around and walked away.
Okay, no big deal. She's probably tired from being at this thing all morning. It's hot, most likely she just didn't think that I'd want my picture taken with her, since I'm a guy.
It's later in breakfast. The characters are all coming around to say goodbye. Goofy high-fived me, Mickey gave me a hug, and Donald came by to wave. Here comes Daisy, and I'll get to say goodbye. Okay, that will be just fine, and maybe I can ask for a quick picture with her, just because I'm there and want my picture with all the characters that were at the breakfast.
She turns around right before getting to our table. There's no one else in our little nook. She didn't wave from a distance. She just looked over, turned around, and went about her day.
Daisy Duck hates me.
And I don't even know why.

Okay, So Here We Go!
Jul. 28th, 2008 09:29 pmWell, I'm on vacation starting bright and early as I rise from bed at 4 AM tomorrow. This means I'll be going to bed in about 20 minutes so that I can have at least some shut-eye tonight. My parents get even less, having to be at the airport by 4 AM. Crazy.
I've got important phone numbers with me, my camera and 5 Gigs worth of memory cards. I'm all packed and ready to go. My ID is already in the shorts I'm wearing on the plane, and I think everything's set.
My sister is even already in Florida, despite my worries!
So, what's going to go wrong?
Heh.
Yeah, I'm borrowing trouble, because it's what I do.
I'll tell you all about it when I get home in a week or so!

Did I mention I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow, to go to Disney?
Disney's not the reason for going down there, but a nice side-effect. My brother, whom I haven't seen in a few years, is getting married, so that made for a nice excuse to get down there again and enjoy Disney. My parents, sister, brother and soon-to-be-sister-in-law will be there with us, and it should be a great time!
I'm really looking forward to this long vacation. This will be my second time to Disney, and third time in Florida. A friend from that area might be able to make it out to lunch one day, which would just make the trip that much more cool, but even without that, it's Disney! Whoo!
Of course, I'm still debating whether or not I think my sister will wake up in time for her flight, find where she's going once she gets to the Washington DC airport, and get to Florida. As I told my wife the other day, "there's nothing I can do about it, so I shouldn't worry, but all I can picture is Anna (my sister) wandering downtown Washington DC, trying to figure out how, exactly, she left the airport."
See, Anna's never actually gotten on a plane as an adult. Sure, as a kid she was flown from Korea to Syracuse, NY, but that barely counts. She's slightly scatter-brained, and I find it hard to imagine this going off without a hitch.
Still, there's nothing I can do about it, so I shouldn't worry.
Yeah, that works, right?
The pessimist lifestyle: Worry about everything going wrong so that if it ever goes perfectly you'll be pleasantly surprised, but when something does go wrong you'll be ready.
