> *hates any kind of upside-down ride and shall never ever ever be coaxed to go on one again, not in a million skillion years* Moderate? Gah. You people who can stand being inverted scare me.

Hey, those rides are fun once one gets, ah, acquainted with them. The loops are pretty cool if you tuck your head and close your eyes. They might be cool without that as well, but I wouldn't know. I didn't try it that way ;-)

I almost tried at that game that Tenisha and Cassie spent so much money on. They had huge stuffed dragons (bigger than me) that somewhat resembled Figment. I figured I'd take a few snapshots and get you enamored ;-)

> Bleh. You know, some cheerleading IS actually pretty good... like advanced competition can do some seriously amazing stuff, gymnastics-wise. Sounds like all you got was tripe, though.

Yeah, this wasn't cheerleading. It was more like obscure "dancing." I can deal with the rah-rah-rahs, the school spirit, and the coordinated moves. The things they were doing, however.. gah, i don't understand how people can like that.

Is this the same Mr. Fishie that you scanned? :-)

> Gah, gah, gah. Thank heavens I only hung out with people just as shy (or not-flirty) as myself, so that none of us ever picked up random guys. (Of course, there was the incident with the waiter at Carrow's, but that's another story. Heehee. And no, that DIDN'T involve ME doing any flirting or picking up.)

LOL, my friends are all very "nice Christian girls," as Mom would put it. The problem is that only one of them is in orchestra and she didn't go.

Yeah, I know, and we got home at two in the morning anyway. Still, there wasn't as much "enchantment" in Six Flags- no midnight parades, no light shows..

Jars of Clay! Jars of Clay! They were my favorite group for awhile. They still rank pretty high on my list. I love two songs with a passion: "Worlds Apart" and "Art in Me." Those are my relaxation songs.

*throws her candy bar wrappers at you* AHHH! Never been to Magic Mountain? Tell you what. You drag me to Epcot, I drag you to Six Flags.
