I just had my last day at work and OMG IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. I ended up in costume, and my escort and I decided, "Hey, wouldn't it be fun if Kirsten went out in a penguin?" And so... I did! Now, for those non-SeaWorld character people, the height range for Penny is... oh... about six inches shorter than me. I was a GIANT PENGUIN. Luckily, the new bodies are actually pretty long, so it wasn't such a bad fit. I didn't have my normal camera, but luckily I did have my cell phone...

( Picture-y madness under the cut! )

Dear lord, in all the time I've been a SeaWorld character, I have never sweated more than I did today. But it was all so, SO worth it. I had an absolute blast!

And now, Kirsten's list of top-SeaWorld-past-moments-that-she'll-admit-to-since-she's-no-longer-employed:
-Dressing up another character in a mix of costume pieces, and then having to chase him down when he tried to go out on set like that
-Playing on the Happy Harbor boat on bird-mite-day
-Playing on the Russian swing
-Dressing up in the scary toga for the JTA grand opening ceremony
-Trying to do monkey rolls in the CCDR at 8:30 in the morning
-Dancing contests at the bungee towers during the Russian swing segment
-Making fun of dorky guests at House of Douse over the headsets
-Watching "Dune Quixote" on my laptop between sets - "ONWARD, NOBLE STEED!"
-Having to take the Caribe out at 10pm in the pitch black to bring gas out to the barge
-Watching the 4th of July fireworks from Tower 1
-The Homosexual Antelope!!
-POMATO!

Thanks, guys - y'all made working at SeaWorld the best! :)
