Everyday Princess Tip #2

You'd be surprise was a little toning down can do. Exchange you're gotty hoops in for a nice simple pair of diamond studs. You'll appreciate them more and you'll feel the benefits of not having you're earlobes weighed down but those heavy things. Now years down the road when things begin to sag your ears won't be hang out with your chin.

Speaking of sagging attention all my A cups and B cups! We're the lucky ones! When gravity startes taking hold of us we won't sag as much or so far down as those C-inifite girls. So while they're kicking their lady lumps around 40 plus years down the road we'll still be tank top worthy.

Minor Setback

You know how you save and save for something and you get super close to you're goal then something happens that the money you worked so hard to save getting cut in half by some unforeseen chain of events. Well I've been saving for a Princess Tiana dress, the lily pad one, well ever since I got my waitressing job well.I saved up $220 of my $300 goal. And last weekend I had my God Sister aka my cousin Lauren for a fun spending spree. Well I definitely had fun but I didn't realize that I was once again screwed myself over. Today I realized that I have once again dug myself into an overdraft black pit of despair! It's too complicated to explain but lets just say that I have $117 left after the ordeal. Alas I will get my beloved dress one day hopefully before November for Neko-Con

Co-Workers

There are numerous things that co-worker should and should not do. One being don't tell each other what you make hourly or in tips. As a Waitress I live off of tips! One of my co-works ALWAYS ask how much did I make. And it always turns out that I made more that she did. Well, this co-worker spends the major part of her shift complaining or trying to get someone else to do her job. So I understand why she's not getting alot of tips. It's obviously reflexing in her guest interaction. As a former Disney CastMember I'm took what I learned there and put it too work in the "real" world. I'm always friendly. I'm alway smiling. I speak clearly. I show respect to everyone including children, ect. You have to be bubbly to be a server. Not to brag but my introduction is a seals the deal on my tip. But then again it alway depends on the person too.

Why do you have to make me cry!?

Has anyone ever notice that Disney movies always have super sad moments? I just got home from seeing Toy Story 3 and OMG I think the sad moments in that movie have completely out done Lion King. Mufas's death was of course is historically super sad but you know we were all kids with toys before and we've grown up. I've packed my toys away and gave away some as well. And after all these years I have to wonder where are the toys that I've given away. Are they being played with or are they in a landfill somewhere...... I can't help but be sad about growing up. I really wish I could be Peter Pan so I could go to Never Neverland and never grow up ever ever!!!

WoW!!!!

Well, today I fell to temptation today,I played World of Warcraft for the first time and for four hours!!! I'm a Human Warrior and at the 5th level. I really have zero idea what I'm doing but I'm sure I'm figure it out.

Dreams

Have you ever had a dream that was so exciting that you didn't want to wake up from it? I had one of those today. It was so sweet. I dreamt that I had a kitten. It was a little black and gray one. It was so tiny and adorable. I had so much fun with it. I honestly didn't realize that I was dreaming. Until I fell asleep in my dream and woke up in the real world holding the corner of my pillow. I could have just cried my eyes out when I realized this. It was a sad morning. But it just makes me want to move back to Orlando so I can have an animal of my own and a place of my own.

No more yeast rolls

Well, I quit my job at Golden Corral's bakery this morning. Yeah I know that I was desperate for a job a while ago but I really hated it there. The hours were inconvenient, the people were rude and the over all work space was small and dirty. They never wash the trays that they bake everything on! It was always greasy and sticky. The uniform was a white apron, white button down shirt and black pants. Every day I came from work with a new stain on the one and only white button down I could afford. Well I quit because of all that stuff stated above and because they didn't have flexible schedules. So I'm free from that dumb job.....I have a new one already so it's all good.

Everyday Princess Tip #1

You'd be surprised what a nicely shaped eyebrows will do for your face. Waxing, threading and plucking are all different ways to get your eyebrows shaped. Waxing is quick and mildly painful. Plucking can be really painful if done wrong. Threading, I've been told and seen, is very painful but last longer than waxing and plucking. But if you think about it......all of the hair removing techniques remove the hair from the root....so....how one lasts long than the other? IDK. Anyway keep those eyebrows looking good and so will you, your Highness.

Work

Well I had my first day of real work, 1-9pm. All day all I did was make dough for the signature yeast rolls. I hate bread now. But I like it. As long as I have someone to chat with. I have an interview at a dinner movie theater tomorrow. Hopefully I can get the second job and that it works out. I need some cash like now. Seriously.

OMG Shoes and the Red Tide

I have a pair of really adorable heels in ruby red. Why have I never wore these? IDK!? I have them on now with my bum clothes on. I'm sitting on my bedroom floor trying to figure out why I haven't wore these freakin heels?! It's so weird.....anyway I'm planning to film my Princess Tiana make-up tutorial I've been putting off for the past two weeks.

Anyway have you ever noticed, this only applies if you're female, that you're gym teacher would always say that exercise helps cramps? Well I've been out of school for two years now and I can say exercise makes it worse. One example participating in gym can lead to social suicide! One hour of non-stop movement and bending, kicking, and interaction with your classmates .Was I the only one afraid of a leak happening? Another example most of the females in my family go in slow motion during the red tide, for me it all depends on what ibuprofen cocktail I'm on that day. It's just not the most pleasant time to be forced to be active. I would have rather stayed in bed those days but it's like whatever now. I would have loved to have been PMSing on a touch football day. I'm going to rant about this later!!!

Online Dating Disappointments

I was a memeber of a popular dating site called Plenty of Fish, for about 2 monthes. I made my profile a week before my 20th birthday and I took my time typing out what I wanted to say. I wrote a decent amount so viewers could see what type of girl they were going to be dealing with. I wrote that my name was Amber in the beginning so that question couldn't be asked. In fact I answered all the starter questions so all the filler could be avoided. At the very end I posted that I wouldn't reply to anyone that wrote crappy one liners like: "wha up" "hi" "damn girl you pretty". Stuff like that and more than half were those. It was cool at first I got alot of emails from some very interesting Orlando guys. A lot of the guys were totally cute! But none of them could open up at all. Even the ones that I would email daily. It was going no where. Of course I had my fair share of pervs as well. Online dating was a waste of time for me.

Had an interview today! Out of the two dozen applications I handed in I got an interview at the very last place I apply it. Figures.

Yeah Me!

Today I put in probably a dozen applications! And I finally got an interview for tomorrow at 2pm! I'm so excited! And it's at a bakery! Yeah me!

Amerb moment

I'm totally being serious when I say that I think I may have lost my mind. I've been researching how to open my own restaurant or cafe, yeah in this economy. I've been looking for a job that will help me develop the skills I'll need to manage one. So far I haven't have much luck. My family wants me to go back to my old fast food job, not going to happen. It would be an okay idea if I was trying to stay in my hometown for the rest my life, not going to happen! But I'm trying to be up and out in 6-7 months time. So tomorrow I'm going to a locate cafe that's hiring for all positions. I'm hoping to snag a waitressing job so I can get tips and that type of experience. Going from getting paid every week to getting paid every two weeks isn't going to work since I got plans and three bills.....four if you count this stupid prepaid phone I got.

My mom and I were talking

I recently moved back into my parent's house after finishing an out of state internship. A lot of the whatchamacallits and doodads that I left home where stored in the attic. I was gone a year and I've long forgotten about a lot of the stuff. Well a few days after coming home I was sent up into the attic to pull out some of my old junk. Well I threw out a few old clothes and random crap I'd been holding onto for some reason. I got down a box of books with my two favorite vintage actresses, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. As well as a few Ancient Egyptian books from my high school days. Well since I felt I didn't need them anymore I was going to donate them. But my Mom was like "OMG! You're giving those away? I always thought that you'd end up it Egypt looking at the pyramids. Or something like that."

I never thought she had that much faith in my interest and my hobbies. I've had numberous interest through out my 20 years and as I was staring at my ceiling I thought, "What can I do that can mix my vintage style, ancient egyptian, make up, and fairy tale interests all together into a job or business that could make me some cash. Since I'm totally broke right now.

Madi Gras 2009

This past February my sister and I as well as three others drove from Orlando to New Orleans to attend, Mardi Gras. I was determined to attend Mardi Gras ever since I saw an animated 1920s Mardi Gras from a movie that released a few months back. The trip down there was less than glamorous. Riding in a Mustang with five other people just wasn't the best idea. Well the 641 mile trip could have been worse. But upon arriving to New Orleans I realized that this wasn't like the movie at all! It was so 2010! Where were the bands in colorfully costumes parading up and down Canal street? Where were the "cute" bottlecap tap dancing boys? And where were the diners that were worth eating at? It had completely slipped my mind that New Orleans had be Atlantis for awhile. What? Too soon!? It seemed like my fantasy was replace buy the trash covered streets and the numerous "gentlemen" clubs?
My sister and I went down Bourbon St and I got a lot of beads tossed at me and thrown at me! I'm too pretty to flash! Though I was expecting a whimsical city I got reality. It was a great experience. And I'll definitely go again since I know what to expect now.

In Disney's Defense

There has been alot of mixed reviews with movies that Disney Animation has produced in the last decade or so. I personally doubt it will ever stop. I believe this is still a hot topic which is release of the newest Disney Princess, Tiana. I was still in high school when the movie was first announced, I was one excited 11th grader. The movie went through probably numberous rewrites and changes before it was released in December 2009. The number one rewrite was the plot altogether. She was orginally suppose to be a chamber maid. For those who haven't seen the Disney Princess movies, Snow White and Cinderella both were in the maid catagory. Belle and Mulan were peasants. Snow White, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Aurora and Ariel were actual Princesses. Also they are all based in non-American countries, excluding Pocahontas.

Tiana is the first African-American Princess. If she wasn't American she would have had to be placed in another hugely "black" country or area. How popular would have the Disney's first Congo Princess have been? Alot of follow bloggers and Youtubers say that they came out with Princess Tiana only because of our current Presidents two adorable daughters. Well if thats the case and putting the facts, what if Barack hadn't have won? Since this movie was announced 2006 or 2007 before the elections had even begun either Disney's productionist can see the future or this movie was simply Disney Animation going in a different direction. I think the latter. The main point of this blog is to pretty much defend an aniamated movie. This movie was full of first: first black princess, first cajun firefly, the first interracial couple. I suppose the black population of America wasn't ready for a interracial couple. However as an African-American lady I have zero problem with any type of couple. I feel that African-American women deceived to have a princess since we have stepped up, we raise the kids, work to provide for our families.

I'm not saying every guy, but African-American men still haven't stepped up as much as they need too to become that Disney Prince. So intead Tiana got a racially ambiguous Prince. Prince Naveen isn't black, white or anything no one knows, no one ever will probably. He's whatever you want him to be. Personally he remains me of one of my Turkish co-workers back in 2009. Pretty much it all boils down to a the fact this is a Disney movie, it's not going to do any harm to your little Princesses and Princes if they see it. If anything it'll make them want to work just as hard as Tiana does to get what they want out of life. Is that so bad? Thanks for reading.
