Duche bags

My lesson today was what a douche bag actually is. It translates a shower bag which is half true because its for ladies to shower their special places gross!! so heres a photo and be safe in the knowledge that they are really really cheap and come in different scents one of which is the vinegar and water flavour.. fresh!! Enjoy!

Skydiveage!!

Put skydiving on your list of things to do before you die!! The most incredible feeling ever is plummeting 18,000 feet (the highest you can do in this country!) to the ground at 120Mph! There are no words to describe the freefall at all. I freefalled for 70 seconds it was nuts all the photos were taken during the freefall. They release a small parachute which keeps you balanced in the air and saves you spinning etc. We dived over cape canaveral so when my parachute was released i had a gorgeous view of the space center and the ocean. The parachute ride back was gorgeous the view was absolutely breathtaking. Brent taught me how to steer with the parachute and a couple of little tricks he was an awesome guy. All of our instructors were suited to us. Gaynor got a hot brazilian guy, Sally got this laid back guy who was just really chilled, Craig got the most sensible and proffessional guy and i got Brent the total nutjob.. i loved him. When we were up in the plane he just started shouting 'were all gonna die!!' He was awesome!! The best thing ive ever done in my life and i would do it again in a heartbeat.

Bistro De Paris

Eating out in Florida so far has been an amazing experience most of the time. Tonight topped it all. We ate in Bistro de Paris which although situated in Epcot is not a disney restaurant. It is a french themed restaurant which has the highest possible standards. So i turned up in a thundercats Tshirt and a pair of camoflauge shorts! whoops! Disneys going through a queit spell at the moment so it was easy to get in however you do need to book months in advance usually. Our waiter was the lovely Stefan he was yummy! Not as yummy as the food though. We started with a dish compliments of the restaurant which is designed to clear the palate. Ours was salmon (if you know me you know i hate salmon) topped with a lemon cream. It was fantastic. Then we ordered a bottle of Sancerre which is a very very expensive white wine. For my appetizer i ate frogs legs and snails, delicious frogs legs are awesome! For my main i had Veal served with baby sweet potatoes and mushroom truffle. It was like a party in my mouth it was all soo yummy. Then we proceeded with a cheese plate which was amazing i actually enjoyed goats cheese (whats going on there?!) For dessert we had a dessert platter which had some amazing desserts.. i truly loved it. The company was amzing Jo was a true lady all evening, we really bonded and enjoyed ourselves i had a great evening. Excelent food and excellent service... food really does sooth the soul!!

Fab Fun Friday!

The day after i got my sexy little tattoo i decided that i needed to get up and do something other than work so i headed out with James, Luke, Kim and Kyle. In the afternoon we headed to Disney MGM studios and had ball.. did the usual stuff, tower of terror etc. In the evening we headed to the Animal Kingdom Lodge which is Disneys premier hotel. It has 2 restaurants which are both gorgeous. We ate in Boma which is a buffet style restaurant but the food is delicious. All themed on Africa so its all traditional african cuisine. It was delicious. We had a look around the resort itself .. my word its beautiful. if you get the chance stay there because its seriously fantastic. Ive left a few pictures for you to enjoy!

look see!!

i got a tattoo!! its on my waistline and its 3 stars!! i love it!!

Graham and Ceris birfdee!!

Yesterday was Grahams 24th and Ceri's 19th Birthdays so we needed to celebrate as they are both awesome!! It was an early start, 11.00am which is quite early here!! So as soon as we all got together we headed to Bahama Breeze which is a restaurant about 5 mins away the food is really good although the portions are immense i could never finish a meal there!! I digress... so we treated them both to some fab lunch and here are a few pics..

After Lunch Me, Ceri, Lucy, Gemma and Vicky headed down to Florida mall.... I nearly bought a psp but then backed out because the salesman didnt have me convinced!! We went there looking for a nice fitted black shirt for me and posh dresses for the girls and ended up in this random old person shop like a debenhams kinda place and we found these prom dresses, so of course i encouraged the girls to try them on... class!! We also found a comic book shop which amused me.. (for the record boswells just like worlds apart only cleaner). Here are a few pics from our little trip..

Then we went to Cowboys.. yeeehaaa!! I love this place so much and im actually getting quite good at line dancing which worries me slightly! there were millions of us last nie all of the Uk pavillion and loads from Canada (boo) too! Wefff found this old couple who were the cutest thing ever they had matching outfits and had their own dances and danced in each others arms all nite.. way cute! here are the pics from the nite including one of said old couple!! Enjoy!

Layin the smackdown!

My word i have just had the best night ever (again!) Graham, Lee, Neil, Alex, Johnnie and of course Aaron and I went to WWE Smackdown!! It was sooo good apologies for the pics the battery went on my camera after the 2nd match but u will find more on bebo as soon as i can get hold of some. So we headed down to lakeland which is about 45 mins away and waited in the longest line ive ever seen but it was all worth it! We saw Kane, Booker T, Batista, JBL, Tazz, Test Rob Van Damme and possibly the biggest dream come true ever.. The Undertaker.. i will get some pics of him soon! The undertaker did the tombstone and chokeslammed a midget i nearly wet myself! Kane fought twice and won both times... just an amazing night.. we stole seats coz we had pretty poo ones to begin with so we moved our way forwards and no lie we were 10ft away from the ring when the Undertaker, Batista and Kane were a tag team it was sooooo good.. i will never forget tonight!!

Yeeehaaa!!

Last night a few of us went for a drink to the funnest bar ever!! Cowboys is a bar that plays country music. Pretty cool already?! well it gets cooler, they have a massive dancefloor and everybody line dances all night long!! Quite possibly the best fun in ages! We felt so American it was unreal! The dances are very very hard but you can pick them up. Its so cheesy and they serve free beer!!!!!! We had an absolute ball and they give lessons on Saturdays at 8pm.. My day off!! so i reckons im gonna go get me some line dancing lessons.. ill be a pro in no time! pics: Top 2 are random folks line dancing! Below Kerri and I being true americans by looking all serious with our beer and Kerri stood in front of a fan being a thoughtful cowgirl! Such a good night!!

Merry Christmas

Hey guys just turned christmas over here and ive just left a party!! Hope you are all having a fab christmas.. really cant wait to be reunited with everyone i think this is the hardest thing ever being away from Kate, Kerry and Emma at christmas!! I miss everyone loads though wish i wsh there with the cap bank lot, living with the Boswells, seeing my family and waking up christmas morning and popping over to see Kate and then Emma and Kerry popping over or giving me a call!! Being away from home right now makes me appreciate what ive got in England and i wouldnt give it away again for anything!! Have a fantastic christmas and get very wasted guys!! I plan to!! I miss you all loads and loads.. its not the same without you!!

Christmas Dinner

So christmas day for me was December 23rd although i didnt open my presents coz im a good boy!! Jo and I decided to treat ourselves and some of our friends to Christmas dinner. We headed to Walmart early (you know how competitive it gets) with Deborah and Bettina, jo's roomies. We got sooo much stuff including a big turkey and a duck and loads of booze and other random junk, the bill came to $165! thats for christmas dinner which in the end fed 12 people!!! Sooo freakin cheap!! So we set to work straight away when we got home i was potato monitor while jo looked after the sprouts veg and birds and then we knda just shared it the longer we got into it. Deborah cooked a lovely pasta dish to start and she made cookies which James and i decorated (he did most of em) We ended up with a full on traditional christmas roast.. we were sooo worried it'd be really bad but it was a massive success.. very pleased!! The best part was spending time with the guys from the interviews who i was talking to right up until i came but when i got here didnt really do all that much so it was kinda like a mini reunion!! Hope they all had a good night as it was definatly a good night! Just to prove we actually did it see below for pics!!

hehe!!

haha some bad photos of my buddies!! sorry guys just made me laugh!!! hahaha! i especially like the one on the bottom left look at Nicci's eyes!! teehee im sooo bad!! if you click on the photo grid it goes bigger by the way!!

More christmas stuff!!

So im still without a camera :( however Jo has very kindly used my laptop for her photos because hers is broken o ive decided to steal some of her photos teehee!! Last week Jo and her roomies decided to begin decorating their lovely apartment in time for christmas and they asked me to help (although i just sat there on my laptop making fun of Candices 'snow' scented candle). It made me feel very festive and with christmas just around th corner it made me get a move on with sending cards etc! The tree looks better in real life.. these photos dont do it justice! Its very weird not buying you guys back home some christmas prezzies and arranging meals and nights out. Christmas is gonna be hard for all of us here without our families and friends so please keep in touch guys!! 

Wills last Bennigans!

Another legend leaves us to head back home. These are a few pics from Wills last night with us all!! So the obvious choice was bennigans.. i hadnt eaten all day so went next door to Walgreens (like tesco metro) and bought loadsa crisps and chocolate to fill myself up!!Was a fun nite sad to see Will go ashe was a fantastic lad he was always positive and never had a bad word about anyone!! legend! pics : Gaynors friend, kevin, gaynor, me, jo and amy randomly smiling and loooking the same way and then somebody andomly took a photo.. what a coincidence!! a pic of the usual games goin on at bennis!! kev looking less than impressed as im a bit wasted... Graham the beer monster, Will and Jess in the cab home!! If you're wondering why i havent updated this for a while.. my camera is broke!! :( so im stealing pics from people!! hehe!! 

Christmas at Disney

Christmas is really in the air over here!! Its crazy!! Even now im sooo in the mood for christmas and im not the biggest christmas person usually! Disney just have this way of making everything perfect and magical its sooo weird. You walk around the world showcase and each pavillion has (besides Morocco for religous reasons) has its own version of Santa and they act as a storyteller and tell the story of christmas from their own country the Canadian one is a bit random.. hes a lumberjack (!) but the UK is Father Christmas and hes sooo cool i want to hug him all the time!!
When i walk to and form work everyday all you hear around Epcot is christmas music and then at night theres an archway leading to the World Showcase that lights up and has Dancing lights which dance to the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Its awesome!! Every park has a tree they are all awesome. My favourite park for christmas is Disney MGM. It has a show called the Osbourne lights... Based on a family who years back went all out at christmas when decorating their house and then i dont know the full story but the dancing lights actually send shivers down my spine they are sooo perfect! I wish everyone could see it because you would all be in the most christmassy mood ever!!!
Does make me sad that i ont have people at home who i can share christmas with but my friends here are looking after me. 

Fantasmic

Ok so one of the best Disney shows here is Fantasmic! If your a bit of a Disney geek you will love it! Its awesome and really clever! Its basically the story of mickeys wishes and dreams but then those evil nasty villains turn it into a nightmare... naughty villains!! Theres many Disney songs and practically all the Disney characters are in it.. its a must see for anybody visiting!! So if anybody comes to see me you are going!! Theres a pic of Ariel there for Jo and Emma!! xx 

Seaworld

Seaworld was the heme park i was most interested in going to when i got here! So today me, Grace, Kevinand Lucy took a little trip down the I4 (the longest road i have ever seen) and went to see what all the fuss is about. I found out that i probably live closer to seaworld than i do Epcot!! Although i dont agree with the whole captivity and animals trained to perform thing the animals did seen genuinly happy. I had a fantastic time though!! can i just say Florida is freezing right now!!! i swear!! We saw the new believe show which has been put on because there is a new Shamu... The shows are fantatsic!! I would definatly go again! 

Mine and Nats bday!!

Im no longer a youngster anymore.. ive passed into the realms of pension books and bus passes so im just gonna be 21 again this year!! 22 years eh?! Not bad for some of the stuff i get up to!! So it was Nats and my birthdays this week!! Thanks to everyone here and at home for their cards, prezzies, emails and texts. If you know me you will know im such a birthday person so its much appreciated!! For my birthday on Thirsday i went to the coral reef restaurant in Epcot which is awesome its like a theatre design.. kinda and at the fornt is a massive fish tank filled with cool fish... i loved it!! such an animal geek!! After that we went to Disney-MGM studios and saw fantasmic which is the only Disney show ive not seen and its awesome.. soo clever. If you're a Disney fan you will love fanatasmic!! In the evening we went to Pleasure island and got wasted which was fun!! We did the cha cha slide at midnight so as i turned 22 i was doing the cha cha slide!! yay!! Ill take a second at this point to say my camera is gay and i hate it because it wont turn on!! so thats whay theres a lack of pics!! OK so on Friday, (MY BIRTHDAY!!) Gaynor kindly offered to take a few of us to Busch Gardens. It was a fab day and would have been even better without a hangover!! My fave ride was sheikra it shits all over Oblivion!! In the evening there was only once place i wanted to be on my birthday JELLYROLLS!! I had a fantastic night there.. absolutely fantastic!! Thanks to everyone who came out! I was up on stage twice.. the first time i had to do heads shoulders knees and toes drunk and then the tree song which nobody will know but its fantastic!! Overall besides yesterdays hangover i had a marvellous birthday and loved every second!! im off out tonight again for it too! 

Transvestite lads!

I never thought id do it but on Monday night i did!! Transvestite lads!! Oh dear!! Such an effort to actually get to lads this week!! I spent about half an hour doing my make up i had to run around the commons and find a wig!! Then i had to run to lads in heels!! But it was all good fun!! I was 20 minutes late and had to do a beer bong which isnt all that bad at all!! Its like a funnell and you pour beer into the top and it just goes straight in through the pipe.. its a lot worse than it looks!! Everybody ( except Will) went to such an effort this week it was good fun! Plus i got soo many compliments as a woman! Shocking!! Pics : Chris (who won best dressed lady) and his very feminine pose! Paddy in his granny dress! Lee and Dom.. although dom looks more gay than female! then the winning boat race team Paddy, Dom, Chris, Dave, Me and Michael. Mooch and a very un- ladylike pose. Jo-Anne, me and Jenna, Me whoring myself with Tessa from Canadia! and half of Lucy's head, Me and Kerri!! It was a fun lads! And next week scuzz lads in my place!!
 

Blue Martini

Last night we went to this really cool martini bar called Blue Martini. Its like the best bar ive seen since ive beenhere although Jellyrolls is still my favourite! Its quite a posh place so Jo, Candice, Bettina and I threw on some nice clothes and headed down to get elegantly wasted! The place has i think 4 bars one of which is outdors which is sooo cool. Its such a well designed place and the music is awesome.. proper society tunes! Plus girls get drinks for $6 and u get a lot of alcohol in the USA and they are proper martinis too! I stayed on Bellini Martinis all night!! Pics : Me, Jo, Bettina and Candice at the beginning of the nite. Jo Candice and Bettina after one or two!! Me declaring my undying love for Bettina and Bettina and her lemon drop shot.. sooo nice!! Candice and Bettina. sensible pic of Bettina, me and Jo then the other 2 were just silly ones!! Loved the place and definatly want to go back.
 

Pi after lads

So in my drunken state i managed to get myself to PI in one piece and get some serious boogying done in Mannequins. They played sooo many good songs and all of my mates were there which is a firstfor a Monday coz everyone usually splits up but all the people i wanted to hang with were there!! yay!!
