I decided to bombard you guys with stupid blogs of my favourite pictures and such. XD Anyway, I thought I'd start with Disney World photos, since that was probably the first and only time I'd ever be there. I'm too poor to go back. T_T

But don't feel bad. XD I had fun. See for yourself:


Sappy as it may sound, this statue and the castle were actually very awe-inspiring to me. Made me feel a little hope for my art again, you know?


This was taken in the Mexico of Epcot. :D This pyramid was by far one of the most intriguing things I witnessed there. ^^

So, it's looks big, but not THAT big, right? Like, looks like you could possibly fit a small exhibit in there at the most, am I right? WRONG!

I mean it, honest to God, there's a whole underground city in there. There's a
boat ride, a museum, a restaurant, and a little shop/flea market down there!

For serious.


This inside the pyramid. Okay, underground cities are apparently very very dark. The only thing lit up was the museum, and it was in the upper par of the pyramid. Anyway, despite how you can't really see any detail, you can still tell how freakin' huge it was inside that moderately big pyramid. Hey, I tried the flash guys, I really did. >_<


Haha! More horrible photography! Seriously, the flash was an accident, I thought I had it turned off. Which is okay, because I took it again without the flash, and it didn't turn out. I'm tellin' ya, it was dark inside that pyramid!

Anyway, this was in the museum inside the pyramid. There's were tons of cool colourful wood carvings, but this little dude stuck out to me above the rest. :D While the rest were recognizable animals (mythical or otherwise), he was the one and only made up whatever he was there. XD So I took a pic of him.

Now if only you could see his face...


This is a cool picture of the heart of Germany! Except it's not the REAL Germany. It's the Epcot Germany. :D

I don't know that random guy on the corner, but his random presence makes me smile all the same. XD


These guys were also in "Germany", hanging on a building and looking down all scary-like. They intrigued me, so thus you get this photo. You'll come to find that my pictures of Disney World don't seem like Disney world. XD That's because I'm not your average tourist. :D


This was taken inside a shop in "Norway". XD Apparently troll legends mean a lot to Norwegians. :D They had little trolls that were similar to this big guy that you could buy there even. Unfortunately, the little trolls seemed to cost as much as the giant troll. >_< $30.00 for one the size if the palm of my hand! DX So no souvenir troll for me...

Anyway, that didn't mean I couldn't take a picture of this guy. :D He was GIGANTIC! Seriously, he took up a quarter of the room.


When in so-called "Italy" we sat at the foot of a tower to rest. You can get really tired really fast in Epcot. Anyway, as I sat there, I just took a moment to look around. Looking up, I saw an angel staring down at me. It looked so cool, I attempted to take a pic of it. Too bad this doesn't do it anywhere near the justice it deserves. >_<


It's Poseidon! Well, technically since he was in "Italy" his proper title would be Neptune, but I prefer Poseidon, so thus I call him. :D He was basically a really awesome fountain behind the Angel tower. ^^ Not much more to say. A smoking lady almost sat in my lap when I took this picture, because she wasn't paying attention and I'm small and unnoticeable. XD


This giraffe was so cool! He WAS closer, but stupid me sat there staring at him like a dork until it was almost too late to take a picture! XD You can't really tell from this pic, but his colour was unlike any other giraffe there. He was pretty much the only animal worthy pf a photo from me in that whole safari. Not that the other animals weren't cool, they just didn't stand out to me...

That dude there? That's my grandpa. XD He just keeps popping up in these...

I'm changing into Superman! Or I was, until a photographer came, and I covered up by pretending to talk on the phone. MY IDENTITY IS SAFE ONCE AGAIN!

Until I just announced it over the internet with this picture...

YES! That's my grandfather's thumb. These pics just get worse and worse. XD

There was this bridge in Epcot, and usually under such bridges are huge fish. Despite I have a fear of fish, especially large fish, I find them quite amusing when they're not close to me. XD

Anyway, I look over the bridge to see fish, but instead find...a turtle? Yes, a turtle. It was so surprising, in fact, that I squealed a little bit. He ducked under from fright, but decided to come back once I quieted down.

Corn vs. the dinosaur! He just jumped right out there, so I took action! XD

Another dark one...(sigh)

This dinosaur was cooler than the rest, mainly for the fact he was made out of junk. Broken glass and marbles were his main decor. :D

I wanna be a part of it... NEW YORK, NEW YORK!

Okay, well, NOT really. It's a replica of New York. XD A very elaborate replica, I might add. You see all those building WAY back there? Yeah. They aren't real. They're metal cut-outs. They looked so real though! I had to go up and touch them just to convince myself...

This was a shop dedicated to villains and "darker"-looking Disney related clothing. XD It amused me a lot for some reason. :D SO PICTURE TIME!

In the near future, palm trees will be robots. Totally. XD

I support this.

I'ma Jedi! But I'm totally part of the Dark Side. :D Doesn't mean I don't get cool Star Wars gadgets. XD Now if only they put a fan in front of me...

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj184/flammingcorn/69404710c1d0b0af72ce15f2d75cf5cb.jpg
This guy was cool. More Star Wars stuff. :D Not much more to say here. XD

My mother insisted that I take a picture with a Disney character. She was like, "Every one of your brothers got a picture with Mickey! At least get a picture with SOME character!"

So I chose this guy. XD He one of the Haunted Mansion workers. :D He was super cool too, because I probably weired the frik out of him. XD

Yeah, I went up and was like, "HeymymominsistsongettingapicturewithacharacterandIwannatakeapicwithyou!"
(really fast like that, I promise...which, that's how I normally talk) and he's like, "...Yes."

LOL...

He talked like Riff Raff from Rocky Horror too. :D

"I’m a wizard wizard a wizard wizard a wizard man!
I’m a wizard wizard a wizard wizard a wizard man!
Electricity shoots from my finger-nails!
Electricity shoots from my finger-nails!
I’m a wizard wizard a wizard wizard a wizard man!
I’ll melt your brains!
A wizard wizard wizard man am I!"

LOL, in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, go here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXCfggL6oP8

ANYWAY, this shop was right across from our hotel. It had a Dunkin' Doughnuts, and we gorged ourselves on wonderful doughnuts there. :D

The point is, though, is that every time we went anywhere near the building, I'd recite those lyrics. XD The wizard there became sort of a memorable part of the trip that way, so I took a pic of him.

Since this one has the longest explanation, I saved it for last. XD Anyway, when in Disney World, we went to Epcot, right? While there, we go to Britain. And by then, I'm kinda hungry, and they have this really wonderful smelling fish and chips stand. With that being said, I go buy some fish and chips.

So, I go and sit down in this little British park replica place to eat it, when a squirrel comes hopping along. He's maybe three feet away, so I throw him a chip (which, in case you don't know, is basically a fry). He nibbles it, and I'm all, "Aw, how cute!"

Well, he comes a little closer, so I throw him a crispy from my fish. And he nibbles it and comes a little closer. By now he's maybe a foot away from me...

So I throw another chip. He's cute, right? How can I say no?

Well, he takes the chip and seats himself right underneath my chair. I stoop down softly and take his picture then return to my seat. After he's done, he come back out, goes right to my foot (I'm talking basically touching me here, folks), gets up on his hind legs and looks at me waiting for another bite! It was like how a dog does at the table wanting scraps!

So I throw him another morsel of food. I'm entertained at this point that he's THAT friendly. I just keep throwing and throwing.

After a while of this, he's starting to basically get ready to jump up in my lap. He's getting up on his hind legs and standing probably a centimeter away from my seat. I coulda reached out and snatched him! Now by this point, I'm getting a little scared of him. I mean, he could have rabies or anything, and this (despite his friendliness) was a WILD SQUIRREL! He was showing his sharp little teeth and glaring at my food basket in my lap like he's ready to snatch it too.

Now I'm kinda throwing food in fear that if I didn't, he was gonna raid my lap. I've seen how they chew through nuts and stuff, I don't wanna imagine what he can do to my hands if I try to pry him from my lap.

By now, fellow tourists are starting to watch me and this crazy squirrel who's become my uninvited dining buddy. They think it's funny, but I'm becoming a bit annoyed. Looking at them, I announce, "I've created a monster! I threw one chip, now he won't go away!"

He's doing the about to jump in my lap again thing, so I grab the remaining chip in my basket, shake it in his face and yell, "See that? It's my last one! Go ahead and have it!"

Then I throw it. XD Now that I've eaten my fill and gave my remainder to my little "friend" I get up to leave. One guy shouts, "Think he's gonna follow you now?"

Laughing, I answer, "Boy I sure hope not!"

Anyway. After I felt safe that he wasn't gonna gnaw my finger off over a chip, I decided to name him "Chips", since that's what started the mess in the first place. XD

Heck, I may make him into a character! XD

BTW, I know he's kinda hard to see. T_T The camera was really sucky...

That little white spot is his chest. XD
