so i'm working the halloween horror nights at universal! i get to scare people and get paid for it! omg, it's my dream job! i can't believe i get paid for this! anyway, so we had training on tuesday. and i get to be in the lower lot with about 16-18 other guys (i'm the only girl down there ;p ), my character is michelle fifer from "scarface" (aka coke ho), i have a gorgeous costume (it's a green, slim fit ballgown that goes to the floor and a mink coat. then they're going to cover my nose and mouth in "coke", and probably put bullets in my head or something :D )! and i have a scarface partner, i love brian, he's the so quiet and sweet! i love how all of us are like the nicest and most normal people you'll ever meet, especially mitch (he plays the flasher-- he flashes people his guts that are pouring out-- which is hilarious cause he's such a geek and very nice). anyhoo, i digress. so we had training, and only four of us showed (scarface, flasher, two zombies, and me), because the rest are chainsaw pigs (so they have there own separate training days due to safety learning, etc.), and our manager is hella cool, she was like, so sense there's just the four of you (most groups had 50+) why don't we just go have fun! so she took use through the back lot on foot. i got to go into the bates motel and sign the guest book (i was staying at room 8)! we went up to the house, through the war of the worlds plan crash, into the building were they filmed "jurassic park" (the old run down science lab), the big water tank thing that they filmed things like "bruce all mighty", when he walks on water. it was all drained and we saw a coyote, which mike (one of the mummies and definitely the trouble maker of the group, he kept going places and touching things he wasn't suppose to, but he's so funny and adorable that sidney, our manager, just couldn't get mad at him) ran half way down the empty tank, saw the coyote, and bolted back the other way, i've never seen someone run so fast! i can't believe i was getting paid to fuck around in the back lot, we went so many places! i basically spent 8 hours straight with these guys, and i'm so happy to be working with all of them, and our manager is hella tight (see above). and i'm really glad we have free range, and are not stuck in a maze doing the same scare over and over. this means we have a lot more freedom, but it's also more challenging! i'm so excited! and we're all going to the park on the day of our dress rehearsal before we start, and just ride everything (sidney gets front of the line passes for everyone)! i get to work (and basically have halloween) every weekend next month! and there's a microsoft buy out-- not just a maze, but the entire park! do you realize how much freakin money that is?! makes me wonder whose going to be there...
i'm so excited! did i mention how excited i was? i'm really excited!
see ya space cowboy.
