Hello!

And welcome to very amusing, your one-stop shop for the stories, secrets, and shenanigans

of a popcorn-fueled theme park journalist.

I'm Carly Waisal, and I just realized

I've been talking to Jeff for the past few weeks because I'm like, it always sounds like I'm hitting my mic. It always sounds like I'm hitting it, and I'm not, and I don't know what I'm doing to make that sound. I think I just figured it out.
