My Crotch Hurts

Sunday December 5, 2004

I went to Magic Mountain for what I believe was the second time ever (I think I went a third time when I was very young, but too young to really remember or recall going on any rides), and having a low tolerance for motion sickness, we decided to make X our first ride just to say we got the best ride in before the nausea would take over.

Whoever came up with the idea of having the seats rotate independently with the rest of the coaster car should get an award, and then be shot in the street. X has to be the most intense coaster I’ve ever been on, and hearing the same from people with far more coaster experience than I have, it seems to be unanimous. For everyone who knows what I’m talking about, X makes your special parts hurt far, far more than any other coaster.

Going on Ninja right afterwards was still a lot of fun though. Sure, it’s not as fast as X, the excitement isn’t really there, but it’s still a very fun coaster. Fun and intensity are two different things for me when discussing coasters.

On the way out (The park closes at 6 in the off season) I finally managed to pick up the infamous funnel cake that everyone is always talking about. Good, don’t know if it’s worth raving about though.

Sweet

Project: The Game! Nice prank, but I don’t think it tops The Great Rose Bowl Hoax.

Meaningless Title

Wednesday December 1, 2004

I’d better explain my absence for the past day or two. My computer crashed.

I did everything I could but it just went kaput on me for no reason. Wouldn’t boot up, couldn’t launch in safe mode, nothing. I ended up having to do a hard format on the baby to get it to come up again, and lost everything on it, including my nearly complete 50,000 word novel as a part of NaNo WriMo.

Alright, I lied. I didn’t even come close to reaching that 50,000 word goal. I think 50 words was more like it. Let’s not even talk about this or my lack of motivation.
