Time flies so fast. Six years ago this week I was in Florida for the first time. Sigh......nice memories of the band trip....and some not so nice ones like cheerleaders and some fallout with some of the people in our group. It is so funny to think of that first night when we went to WDW like right after we came in. It was about 6-7 or so already when we got to EPCOT. Our group was so sad in that we didn't even know where to grab a guide map from. We went on Spaceship Earth, took some pictures in that metal tree thingy that was in the unload area, went on Universe of Energy (yes I did start to feel sick on it), wandered around that area, then headed back to the Maingate area. We were so lost in Future World and didn't even know how to get out of that area to World Showcase....well we didn't even know World Showcase existed at that time. I didn't even know there was a fireworks show until, while sitting on a bench at Maingate, we saw the flashes and tops of fireworks.
Look at me now. EPCOT guide map? Nah don't need that thing anymore, I could probably walk around with a blindfold on and still get to my destination. I know where basically everything is including where most of those food carts are (thanks to Nik and Corinna and ODF). Spaceship Earth is now one of my favorite attractions, so much so that I've typed out the whole narration. Riding on its car has created some amazing memories. Universe of Energy, still makes me sick, but has warmed up on me to be not as boring. I know there is a World Showcase now and it has become my favorite 'land' in the 'world'. I know there is a fireworks show nightly at 9 over there outside of Future World called Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. It has become my favorite nighttime show with so many memories shared over it. I can hum the tune to the whole show, even the pre-show (before it was changed), I know all the lyrics, and I can tell you when most things are going to explode or when they don't go off.
I never could have imagined back then that I would have gone back 2 times and done all the things I have done there. At the family vacation capital of the world I've worked at the top deluxe Resort and the top Amusement park. I've met some great friends who I feel immensley close to and who I will always share an awesome experience with. I met my best friend who now knows probably more than she'd like to know about me. I now call Disney World my second home. I can roam my way around its streets probably just as well as here. I can actually say that I've gone to all 4 parks in 1 day and actually rode something everywhere that day too. I'm so glad Mr. Alconcel and who ever else had their hand in it decided upon going to Florida. I'm glad that I conviced my parents to let me go and fund the trip. I'm so glad that I can call myself a CP or well CP alumni.
I really need to watch this movire from the very beginning. I've caught High School Musical two times so far but each time I was from about 10 minutes in. Next time I have to pay more attention to the songs since I have no idea where in the movie this song is from (I actually do have an idea, I just don't remember it playing). When I go to Eric's myspace....I seem to just listen to his music...that is how I first heard this song.
When There Was Me and You
It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen?
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care
I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
That's coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
Once upon a song
Now I know you're not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you
I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind
Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you.
