Of Parks and Amusements

I want to go to Siren Fest! Everyone else is going! Wah! Ah well. I'll amuse myself by going to Six Flags New England instead.

I'm a bit of a trip at big amusement parks. I'm deathly afraid of rollercoasters and heights. The last time I went on a coaster was last year at the Magic Kingdom. I was there for Spring Break with my secretly evil French roommate and her compatriots before we headed to Miami where they turned on and then abandoned me. *sniff* Anyhoo, if you've never been on a Magic Kingdom ride, they're inherently made for little children. So, this roller coaster would do its drops and fast turns and such, then lull you with nice soft cartoon music before doing it again. Overall, totally schizo and not that scary, but my dislike of those rides are so great that it didn't prevent me from bawling like a punk anyways. The 8-year old in front of us thought that I was so uncool. But that didn't embarass me, I was more concerned about accidently mooning everyone once I got out the car. Oops. That's why I tend to avoid low rider pants. They can't handle all that jelly, yo.

Because of that, I spend a lot of time at parks waiting for everyone to get off a rollercoaster. Or riding the bumper cars to death. See, that's why I wish I was going to Coney Island. I've been riding their bumper cars forever. I've got to make the trip later in the summer definitely. The only other rides I like are those swing things, the Scrambler, the Enterprise, the Haunted House and water rides. I'm sure I'll find some way to amuse myself though.
