Digressive Ramblings

My Favorite Movie:This is really hard because I have so many movies I LOVE, but since I know I have to pick just one I'm going to go with a movie that is completely cliche, but I love me some Pride and Prejudice. I use to be a purest and say that the only version worth watching was the epic long classic 6 hour version. I mean how can you say no to seeing this: yeah that's the stuff that great movies are made of. But since I don't have 6 hours all the time to sit and watch it, I decided to give the new version a chance. And now it feels like home. Seriously, everything melts away when I start to hear this (ignore that this guy has a baby grand in his bedroom and just listen to the music): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqVlXU6pk4A Even now... I feel the stress just melting away. That's why it's my favorite movie... oh and it doesn't hurt that Matthew Macfadyen makes a pretty amazing Darcy... just look at that... oh and since "I'm a Jane, not...

Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm really bad at tooting my own horn. I feel like my life can be best broken down into stereotypes that defined the sections of my life (from youth to now): drama-queen, popular, outcast, mean girl, tomboy, smarty-pants, prep, party girl, flirt, loner, new girl, optimist and now I'm just working on being Michelle- a combination of all the above. I've spent about half my life on the East Coast and half my life on the West. The result? I'm too uptight for California and I'm too laid back for New York :) I like colors, people, dancing, proving people wrong, rolling my eyes and laughing. I dis-like ignorant people, water in my face, being told I can't have/do something and being a vegetarian that hates mushrooms. My favorite quote comes from a President that I still haven't decided how I feel about; Ronald Reagan. "I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpo...

Since so many people hit me up for Disneyland/world tickets and it's complicated to explain I have decided to write a blog about it so people know and I can just refer them to a handy URL instead. Here's the pricing info: DISNEYLAND PARK OR DISNEY’S CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK - that's one park for one day ADULT = $69.00 CHILD = $61.00 DISNEYLAND RESORT 1-DAY PARK HOPPER - one day both parks ADULT = $76.00 CHILD = $68.00 WALT DISNEY WORLD 1-DAY, 1-PARK ADULT = $78.60 CHILD = $65.18 WALT DISNEY WORLD 4-DAY PARK HOPPER ADULT = $265.51 CHILD = $233.88 Now for Michelle's detailed instructions as to how to get these tickets. I know I work for Disney but i do not work for Disneyland. Which means I can't deliver you tickets at the park. So here's your options: If you live near me: You give me the money, I get you the tickets, when I have time, and then give you the tickets. Usually I need about a week lead time because I need to get ...

1. Who is your hero? Why? I don't really have one... I know it's weird, but I never met someone I want to be like completely... more everyone I respect has aspects or traits I would like to emulate. 2. When you were a little tike, what did you want to be when you grew up? In first grade I walked in to "career" day dressed as a lawyer... I dabbled with the idea of movie star too, but lawyer was there since the beginning and stayed until life and God took me down a different path. 3. What is one goal you currently have? ONE? Just one? okay the goal I'm closest to achieving is my goal to pay off my credit card... I'm one paycheck away from it! YAY! 4. What life achievement are you most proud of? I have no idea... I think it might have been moving to Washington D.C. without knowing a soul there and being truly independent. 5. If you could do  anything  with your spare time, what would you do? Right now I'd sleep haha... but I think I would shop a lot ...

So I'm not going to go into my diatribe about babies in general and the many reasons they make my skin crawl; because I have been mocked and scorned for my viewpoints, but here's something that is just too creepy to ignore. It's the picture right over there --> creepy! Okay not originally why I started this blog, but I googled babies in images and this was one of the top hits. TOP HITS, oh man oh man, it's so freaking creepy. Anyway, what brought me to this post and that horrible picture that will haunt me and most likely cause me to have dreams about giving birth (yuck) to tiny creepy quadruplets, was something else. I am blown away by people. I know this person and they are 30+ yrs old... and they married an 18 yr old. Already super creepy and borderline pedo... but whatever... I just found out they're pregnant... yeah. I don't know, I guess I could handle it better when she was just young and married. I don't know how she's not crying her eye...

So I think most of you know that at work I jumped ship from a world I was born to be a part of, Pixie Hollow , to another project, that is a good fit, but not the "flitterific good time" that is me. It's called Disney Movies Online ! It was a really smart decision, better hours, better team, less stress, better pay, better title etc. so I took the job. And it's been a blast. Well it's been through it's share of trails, but what site doesn't go through stuff like that when it is trying to launch? I'm use to stuff like this in the internet industry. There were job scares, times when I wondered if the new updates will go live, and lots and lots of stress and rushing to get it out the door within our time-line. But, it has finally gone live and everyone is breathing huge sighs of relief. The best thing is that our VP sent it to Bob Iger , the CEO of The Walt Disney Company- his reaction was positive!He's finally seeing the value in our site and is...
