1 and 6 :)

Posted in literally me, things I like by

#1: the meaning behind your URL

I took it from a deleted song from Frozen! The situation isn’t the same (I’m not a neglected spare heir to the throne) but I connected with the feeling of “no one ever thinks I’m good enough.” So I took my URL from my favorite “like a button, like a horseshoe, like a girl who’s bad at metaphors.” (Listen to the song, it’ll make sense.)

#6: favorite band

I don’t really have a favorite band? I like Florence + the Machine, Kate Nash, Marina and the Diamonds, Death Cab for Cutie, Ludo, Bowling for Soup, Hozier, Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, Katy Perry…it’s a weird mix.

actual conversation at work today

Guy: “We had fastpasses for Kali River Rapids, and it broke down, and they said we could use our fastpasses for any other attraction, so…”
Me: “…”
Guy: “…”
Me: “Yeah, that’s out of my jurisdiction…that’s a completely different park…”
Guy: “LET ME JUST SCAN MY FASTPASS THOUGH.”
*He does. I silently show him the iPad that says “no selections made”
Guy: “Huh. Okay.”

mansikkamousse replied to your post:I love your cat! He’s so cute. 🙂 Is he your only pet?

(….six weeks is kinda too young to be separated, why was he so young and away from his mommy? kittens should be 12 weeks old? what kind of people had him before, sounds odd…)

Well, first there was the original owner. I know nothing about them except that they had the mama cat.

And then the first person to take him was a coworker who decided that she should get her son kittens as an Easter present. So she got him Hiccup (who she named Fitzgerald) and his sister Callie. After a week or so, she realized that #1, she hates cats, and #2, her LESS THAN A YEAR OLD SON was allergic. (Why did she get him two kittens as a present??) So she walked into the breakroom with the two kittens in a box, said “whoever wants them can have them,” put them on the table, and walked away.

Callie was claimed first, and a different coworker took Fitzgerald (and named him Oscar). Then she realized that because she had just adopted a new puppy, the puppy thought Oscar was a chew toy. She had to lock Oscar in the bathroom all day while she was at work to keep them separated. So she only had him for a few days before she was like “I heard you like cats, do you want this one?”

So yeah.

I love your cat! He’s so cute. :) Is he your only pet?

He is!! And first pet ever, actually.

(I had an ant farm that I accidentally massacred when I was five, but that’s another story…)

But I adopted Hiccup when he was about six weeks old- by then he’d already had three different homes and at least two different names. Nobody wanted to keep him. 😦

But he’s three now and he’s my little baby fluffernutter and I love him even though he sometimes pees on everything I love.

(this is him as a baby oh my god he was so cute)

“Why the Andy Samberg face, Caitlin?” you might ask. Because I thought I was working GMR and was not prepared for the spaceport. Also did not have coffee this morning. But a little boy gave me a nickel. He said it was a tip for a good flight. So there’s that. (at Star Tours: The Adventures Continue)

Reblogging to add that I got to chat with Jedi Kristoff tonight. SO ADORABLE. We had a weird handwritten rotation that made it look like another spaceport agent was going to go to “cats,” and we were like “oh, so he’s going to be in the musical,” and Jedi Kristoff was like “you should launch all your cabins talking like Daniel Tiger from Mr. Rogers” and I was like “or like cat-Yzma from Emperor’s New Groove!” and I quoted one of the lines and he was like “that was really good!” and long story short this is about how I started quoting Emperor’s New Groove with a Jedi Master who looks like Kristoff Bjorgman. Also, every time a guest walked by he would put on his Jedi face and be all like “safe travels, friends” and it was adorable. I hope he’s single because I want to marry him.

Also I was SO NOT prepared to work Star Tours today. Every time I walked into my cabin I had to make sure to not say my dock spiel.

I think I know which Jedi you’re talking about. Because there’s literally only one hot Jedi. Who I lovingly refer to as Hot Jedi. You may have a fight for him but as I’m leaving, I’ll concede.

Jedi Kristoff is new!!! Jedi McHeyyyyy is the original cute one. You can have him. 😛
