did you say.. ROLLER COASTER?!

I WENT TO SIX FLAGGGGGS!!! WHOOHOO! i've never, ever, ever been there in my LIFE! and it was the best time i've had in ages, and after recent events, i really needed that.

i never knew i loved roller coasters so much up until today.. they are splendiferious! i couldn't believe it! and i mean, even though i didn't get to go on the legendary tatsu (sheesh, that line was like 12 years long!!!), i've seen a whole new arrangement and side of roller coasters.. ow! ow! and its like you've got this amazing sense of fear but it is totally overruled by excitement and adrenalin.

this is what i went through before every ride.

first (the idiotic, height/speed induced fear)

"oh.. my.. gawwwwwwsh. look how high that is, ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! is it scary? how fast do you go? aghhhh. my stomach hurts, you people are crazy! crazy i tell you! gasp! gasp! gasp! gasp! GASP!"

then (finally i come to reason, or.. well as close as I can get..)

"wait, why on earth should i be scared? i mean like one person of every 67,893, 400, 052 people die on these, and i mean, i doubt i'm that one. but hey who knows? but i mean, seriously. and whos to say i'm not CRAZY?!"

finally (the dancing, the hopping, the wild eyes!)

"GASP! GASP! GASP! WHOOOOO HOOOOOO! OH, OH, OH! THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST! i.. am.. so.. EXCITED!!! I CAN'T WAIT! OOOOOOH! IS THIS ONE FUN! ITS GONNA BE FUN! IT HAS TO BE FUN! ITS NEW FOR ME! IT MUSTTTTT! WHOOOO HOOO!"

and so yeah.. and as you go, every feeling, every tremor to your body, all fear, all thrill.. all paralleling the tracks.

the suspense going up-- click-click-click-click--is so unbearable, and then they pause on the tip right before the drop and your just screaming "WHY?! why are we STOPPED?! GET IT OVER WITH ALREADY!!!" and then they do and your screaming and laughing and whooping! its like.. electrifying. and there was this one, and i like couldn't scream anymore, i was going so fast i couldn't breathe, and my ears were flooding and i couldn't feel a thing. ohhh, man that was it. i was enthralled at that point. and we went and went and flipped and twirlled and dropped and it was all so exhilirating. and after.. i'm clapping and yelling and whooping and.. man.. i could do that over, and over, and over, and over, and...

whoo.. hott diggity damn. thats all i have to say.

i think i'm in love..
