My Oh My!

Wow! I am sure missing a lot with you Turk's Head Gang!!! If I was at school I would honestly go to the Faire with you Randy and I would be in costume as well!
Alas, I am here in sunny, hot, humid Florida working for the Mouse. It's not that bad. I do get to see the Indiana Jones Stunt Show at least 3 times a day. I also get to talk into a Microphone so all is well here!

This weekend there is a Theatre Open House in Downtown Orlando and my manager is running it. He has asked me if I would like to provide some entertainment! OF COURSE! Was my reply. Not only will I be juggling, but I will also be displaying my improv skills as well as performing a monologue and a scene. I am FLOORED to have this opportunity down here. Who knows, maybe something bigger will come out of it...

I am so glad to hear that the Turks Head Jugglers are growing in numbers!!! I hope to see all of you when I arrive home in January *If I can make it in one of the 6 days until I go back to school* and if not then, then whenever I am able to pop in and say hello. Who knew being a College Senior would mean I had to get a real job in that big scary real world...haha well I guess I sorta did, but working for Disney sure has opened many new doors for me!

Best Wishes to everyone!

P.S. Did you know you could post pictures?! Well here is one of me at work! Enjoy!

Disney Update!

I'm a horrible person! Horrible, horrible...
I had no time to come to the club before I left. There is no excuse besides lack of time between seeing people, working, and packing, and small vacations. But that doesn't mean I haven't been practicing because I have!!!

Anyways, some of you have heard (and if not this is the perfect place to learn!) I am working in Disney World this fall! It is a very good thing for me and I am very excited! I still get to graduate college in May (that's how my dad is making sure I come home). Well I arrived in Disney Saturday night, I drove with my mom, and we went to Magic Kingdom on Sunday. It was a lot of fun before these past few days of moving in stress.

I am very content here. I have great roommates, 5 other girls all about my age, and I am working at a great location..Hollywood (MGM) Studios! I am very excited! I begin my orientation tomorrow, we get to learn all about the company, and then on Thursday I begin training at Icon Attractions! These attractions include: Great MOvie Ride, Indiana Jones, Muppett Vision, and Star Tours! I am pumped!

Also, I hope to audition to be a performer at the end of my program and maybe return in the summer. This would be great! I would love to perform down here, even though it gets hot and nasty outside!

Right now it is pouring due to Hurricane/Tropical Storm Fay and we are inside relaxing before a long day of training tomorrow *4 straight hours*
anyways I'm probably boring you...but I promise to keep in touch! Hope all is well with everyone!

I've Been Published

I sent a poem to someone a year or two ago, and now you can see my work in the book "More Than Little Professors". It's a collection of writing, quotes, art, and more by kids within the Autism Spectrum.

Action News!?

ok so I was watching action news at noon today because it was not a good beach day here. I was watching the opening and I could have sworn I saw Randy juggling. Randy are you in the opening roll of Action News???? Serious I swore it was you...it went by so fast though, it could have been another juggler.

CLASSIFICATION
Lightning Bugs are the same as Fireflies. They are members of a particular family of the Beetle Order. The Firefly Family is technically known as the Lampyridae.
Lightning Bugs are beetles. They can't be "flies" as their name suggests because "flies" are members of the Fly Order. Glow-worms, which produce light similar to Lightning Bugs', also are beetles, but they belong to a different though closely related family, the Phengodidae. There are many Lightning Bug species.

I'm Alive...I Promise!

Hey Gang,

  So I was very active in the beginning of the summer and then I seemingly "disappeared". In all honesty it's because I haven't been feeling too well and I had to get tested for a whole bunch of stuff. All of which came back positive and it turns out I was just "running on empty". However, I am still trying to get my sleep schedule on track and what not so I have been going home straight from my internship and heading to bed early ( by early I mean 10pm at the very latest). Yay for Sleep! 

Bad news: I won't be back at all this week or next. Family vacation has taken me hostage...I'm not complaining. (yet).

Good News: I will be back before I go to Disney (which is only 38 days away!!!)!!!

I know you all wanted to hear what was on in my life, but I thought you should know that I love you all and I wasn't avoiding you. Life just ended up catching up to me.

I haven't been lazy from juggling. As you know, I have been working on my cigar boxes and they are starting to tune up nicely. With the help of my friend, a professional magician, I have been putting together a routine to a jazzed up version of "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat." It's still in the beginning stages but I already have costumes, an opening, and I'm working on NEW tricks!!! This is very exciting for me an challenging. If I have it together before heading off to Disney I'll show it to you guys. If I don't, I'll post it via video on the blog.

Much Love in Juggling!!!

Lauren

I finally made it

What a process! But at last, here I am registered for the blog. I've had less trouble obtaining larges sums of money in small unmarked bills that this, but that is another story for another day.

See you all when I see you!
