1st Week Recap- 2007

I know I just posted about 5 minutes ago, but I just realized that I haven't really talked about how the weekend went except for the first day.

I am LOVING Haunt this year! Someone once told me that for every bad haunt year you have, you are guaranteed a good one. Well, my first year was good, my next two were kinda crappy, so I guess this year is making up for the last two years because I am having SO MUCH FUN! Now I see why people like MonStar, Dusty, Beast and Spazz (etc. etc) come back year after year. They come back for the good years! I guess you just need to pull through the bad years because when you get a good year, every rude guest, every piece of haunt drama, every ache and pain and difficult time melts away until you can't even remember why you even thought about not coming back. This year I am in such a great mind set. My mood has been so positive and I'm really happy to be there. My two bad years kind of put me into a funk that made me really shy and want to hide in my shell all the time when it came to socializing with everyone, but I think I'm starting to come out of it. I don't feel insecure about my place at Haunt, I feel liked and respected, and I feel like I'm becoming the monster I was meant to be. I'm confident in my scaring, I'm loving my character, and I feel at home.

CS has been a really awesome place to work and I love the new rookies to death. They are so much fun to scare with. I've been scaring on my own a lot but occassionally I found myself scaring with bastard (not a rookie but a great scare partner!), cari, slinky/bojo/whitedevil/chupacabra/whatever, and mclovin. They're a really fun bunch to work with and we all seem to have great team work skills. You know you have a good scare partner when you can play off each other and be willing to play the distraction and let the other person get the scare. If you can trade off like that instead of stealing scares, you're working with someone really great. AAAAND it definitely feels nice not to have to go through rookie initiations again... so I can emphathize with them. teehee ;-)

All in all, I really hope the rest of the run continues to go this great... because if it does, I am in it for life! :-D
