Zoo Madness
So I work at the Oregon Zoo as a ZooTeen. Basically I take care of goats, small mammals, and reptiles. I also inform and educate the public on how awesome the Zoo is.
(The Zoo really is great- they don't go out and capture animals, all animals at the Oregon Zoo were either born in captivity or can't live in the wild)
For those of you who don't know the Oregon Zoo, we have two goat yards. One is in the main farm area and has pygora (a mix of pygmy and angora) goats, which are pretty big and very soft, and the other is an older goat yard in the middle of our Africa area which has pygmy and dwarf goats. When I gets to be 90 degrees in the farm goat yard, we have to to close it so that no one can go in and pet them. Well, yesterday is was FREAKING HOT. We had to close the farm goats not long after my shift started(I was working B shift, which was 1:00-6:30), so everyone had to go to African goats for their goat rotation. Well I was on break with one of my friends, and we were going to buy Dippin' Dots but stopped to chat with some of our other friends who were also on break, and one of our supervisors came to give us free otter pops :D
So I go to get in line to buy Dippin' Dots, and my friend suddenly squeals "Oh! Look!" and points to our right. I look, and my heart almost stopped.
There were two lolitas over there.
They were both facing away from me, but I instantly recognized who they were.
faunkegin and swdpunk. (And faunkegin's boyfriend?)
I ran up to them (my friend was kind of like "wtf is wrong with you?") and was like "Hi, I know you from livejournal :DDD"
We chatted for a couple minutes before I was like "I'm on break right now so I need to buy food" and left. I told them to visit me at the African goats, but ended up rotating to the farm to do some other things before they got to the goats. It was very exciting :D
Ashlee and Victoria! Come see me again! I work Sunday afternoons and Tuesday mornings! :DDD If you're planning on coming, let me know in advance so I don't almost have a heart attack again xD (You guys were taller than I thought you'd be xD)
It was exciting for me for two reasons:
1. I've never seen someone I know from the internet irl before.
2. I've never seen (good) lolita being worn irl before.
I mean, I've seen pictures and videos of people wearing lolita, but never actually in front of me. It was really awesome.
