35) What 3 things can always be found in your refrigerator? i just got a little fridge to put in the basement and i can honestly say that it only contains 7-up and seagrams right now = dinner. but, 3 things that could always be in my fridge-fridge would be miracle whip, ketchup, & usually orange juice. these don’t taste good together though.

44) Would you ever date anyone on your myspace friends list? never! well, except for that guy with the scarves on his head or that dreamy lead singer of harlan pepper. but, no one else!

stupid adventureland.

okay, okay...all in all, it was really fun but darcy & i had plans, dammit. we were legal this time and were all excited about having some beers and going on rides. i guess we should have known better once they started handing out these buttons at the front gate.


apparently we chose to go adventureland ourselves on a booze-free weekend. so unbelievably lame. and then it was such a nice sunshiny day that it made us want beers even more. i seriously considered walking to a convenience store and buying some but somehow we managed to enjoy ourselves...only after bitching about it for at least a solid two and a half hours.

anyhooptie, for nostalgia's sake we donned phatty pants and said "dude" a lot. and darcy ate meat.




there were a bunch on new rides. my old favorites are still the Sky Lift (shut up, i like it), the Tornado (which is one of the top 10 wooden coasters in the US...i just learned this recently. woot.), and the newer Outlaw coaster. maybe i'm just getting old but the Dragon roller coaster is, to be impressively articulate, a suckfest. the two loops are fun but the rest of the ride is rather painful and jerky. i came away with a headache. stupid Dragon. snarl.

the new rides that i enjoyed were this weird wheel-shaped ride called the Sidewinder that spins around and swings out over the people in line (bad ride to be sick on) and gives you that googily stomache feeling like the Galleon but more intense. also, a ride called the Underground was really entertaining because it was so stupid and involved a fog machine, unnecessary water spraying, and strobe lights. i enjoyed it way too much.

but the one i liked the most was the Space Shot which is described on the a-land website as: Feel the force of four and one half G's as you're hurled 200 feet into the sky in less than two seconds, and then plunge back to earth as the Space Shot thrusts you down into an all-out free fall as fast as gravity can pull you.

so, yeah, i personally re-name this ride the Orgazmo and that's all I'll say about that.

we went on some water rides too but managed to stay relatively dry. the weirdest part of the day came when we went on the Silly Silo. it was something i always liked as a kid but for some reason this time it just fucked darcy & i up. i guess spinning around so fast that you stick to the wall just doesn't work for me anymore. we didn't get sick or anything we just felt like we needed to sit down and wonder what we just did to our brains. then, we laughed like crazy people for longer than we should have and were glad that we weren't able to drink alcohol because that ride would have made us pass out or at the very least very ill.

well, that's the shorter version of the day. we didn't go to any of the souvenir shops or get those olden day photos taken of ourselves. we did eat everything on the oink list and i ate a tenderloin too (i never eat those) and darcy had a gyro. we had chocolate shakes too. there's something about adventureland that makes you eat. it's sick. no funnel cakes though. good for us...but then, they don't have strawberry topping and whipped cream anymore. what's the point then, eh?

i took pictures on a disposable camera so i'll probably come back and post some pics once i finish the roll and get 'em developed. happy happy.

Holy roller coasters!

Preparing myself for mega excitement this Saturday at Iowa's biggest amusement park...



I'm assuming a lot of time will actually be spent here...



Let the gluttony begin...

• Oink.

• Oink.

• Oink.

New addition this year:

• Oink.

This may or may not be good.
But it should be entertaining.

Pictures will be taken.
Pictures will be posted.
Pictures should be embarrassing.

it's a damn shame what happened to jem after the holograms.

what's with the partially robotic cat? that's fucked up.

yeah, this is old news but yay iowa, walmart, george lucas' suck-on-it sex candy, and decent people everywhere.

• gimme some jar jar

So, that's what I'm supposed to look like in cartoon form. There's something wrong with my hand though. Or I'm modeling that watch. No, there's something wrong with my hand. It looks like it should be holding something...probably a Skeleton Pincher Functional Claw Blade Spear like

• this.

(Buy it for me. I need it.)

apparently not.

woo! man, i suck at blogging. when i first started this thing i just assumed i'd spit up some randomness and it would be kinda entertaining for myself and the fortunate (unfortunate?) few who have access to it. but, i've discovered that i just don't have the desire needed to keep up with it. maybe i should have a more exciting life but if i did then i really wouldn't have time to write these things down to share with all y'all. bummerfish. well, i think i need to re-think this whole thing...maybe come up with something that suits me better...because i do like having this space to share but i may be too lazy to talk about myself & my life & everything. it will either be horrifically mundane or entertaining. i'll decide & you'll see, oh yes, you will see...
