Yaaaay, it's the Monday party! WOO! I think I'm the only person that likes Mondays, and only because that's my day off.

I am SO exhausted. This weekend was the first weekend of Grad Nites. Oh, yes, my friends, that magical time of year when graduating high school seniors descend upon the park en masse and spend an entire night terrorizing the Magic Kingdom. And us poor CMs working 14-hour shifts until 4:30 am have to deal with them. We make no attempt to group them into rows, because it is a futile effort. We also unapologetically split up groups when they don't get into the logs fast enough (and there is a logical reason why, not just because we're jerks), hence the title of the entry. There is music BLARING in station, and between that and the screaming kids, you can't hear a thing. In Tower, there is much yelling to be had, and in the proper mood, it can be fun when you get to continually shout at people to sit down and put their shirts back on. But the classic Splash Mountain Grad Nite moment? Chasing down people who get out of the logs. Despite the fact that there are big consequences (being kicked out of the park and not walking with their classmates at graduation) people still do it regularly. Friday night wasn't bad, we only had a couple of people. But Saturday.. oh, lordy. *headdesk* In any case, my throat is killing me now from all the yelling. And next weekend, we do it all over again! :P I will say, though, the "whits kids dancing badly" party that we had in station, dancing to the music, was really entertaining... :P

And in general Splash rambling, I pose a multiple choice question:
You are in a log pulling into the station at the end of the ride. Your log stops, and people in the logs ahead of you begin to get out as directed, but next to you there is only a big fence. Do you:
a) remain seated until your log pulls up to an area where there is no fence
b) stand up and promptly sit back down when you realize there is nowhere to go
c) stand up, and remain standing, when you can't figure out where to go
d) stand up, and try to get out, squishing yourself up against the fence

If you chose a, congratulations, you are one of the elite few blessed with intelligence. If you chose c or d... you in a pathetically large group, so at least take comfort in that fact.

In other news... most Disney fans know by now about Ollie Johnston's passing. So sad - the last of that historical, amazing group of artists. :( I didn't realize that he'd been living in Sequim, either!

The X-Files movie has a title: I Want to Believe. While I love that tagline... as a title? WTF? Anyways, just over three months to go!!!

NFL schedules are out, and the Seahawks are playing a game in Tampa on October 19! EEEEEEE! I totally gotta try and ask for that day off.

I got carded buying alcohol today! Weee! I haven't been carded in months, and I was starting to feel old. :P I also laugh at myself now, because my fridge has more alcohol than food in it. I have two different beers, wine coolers, mudslides, and a bottle of vodka in the cupboard. LOL... I'm not alcoholic, I swear. :P

New Grey's on Thursday!! EEEEEEEE!!
