Jon's "Life After School"

Fly like an eagle

I guess I'm a little more able to redo what I skipped yesterday. Um well the rollercoasters were fun but every time I would get all disoriented and dizzy, which didn't use to happen before. Also I got pretty nervous beforehand (though those feelings were unfounded. I always say that the anticipation and dread is worse than the actual pain). I think one day I may become too old for these rides.

All the coasters were fun except for the Riddler's Revenge, which was ghetto because of its long, dank line, loud, bad rave playing from the speakers everywhere, and a general not-fun-ness of the ride itself. The Goliath was this really tall one with a huge initial drop that was freaky freaky! It was just like Excalibur at Valley Fair (the amusement park in Minnesota). Which reminds me: the free-fall ride at Magic Mountain that you can see pictured in the earlier post is called The Edge, which looks EXACTLY like the free-fall ride that I remember at Valley Fair, which was ALSO called The Edge. Weird huh?

The best ride was the one we took last, "X" or something like that. It was scary because it would keep surprising you by flipping the ride/seat (not sure how it worked) around and it was just really crazy and FUN! The whole time it was rainy but it was still great. We ate at this Taiko sushi place and it was pretty much the only food I ate for the day.

On Sunday we went to Grace, which I liked a lot in fact. For the rest of the afternoon we mostly stayed around UCLA one way or another. Yeah so it was a lot of fun.

I have nothing else really to say so here's a picture of me from precisely one year ago. Those were the days, I tell ya.

Just for the record, my side of the story is I probably WASN'T asleep here.
