The good times, and definitely the bad......

*Amanda* This is exactly what I wrote on myspace, but I figured you wanted it on here, so here it is.....

Well.....let's start off with July 17th. Linz, my brother, and my brother's girlfriend, Ashley came to Ohio to see me........then on the 18th, we went to Cedar Point. So we walked in.....we seen the Raptor (I think that was the name). That was the best coaster ever. It was really fun. It hangs from the track, and your feet dangle and you go in loops and sideway, and all kinds of good shit. So, anyway, We got done with that and the closest one was the Mantis. So, we got in line. That's the one where you stand up and go in loops and shit. I don't think any of us really liked that one. It gave me a freaking headach. Then I believe we went and rode the "white water" crap. And the lady there was a bitch. And we had to take our cell phones and shit with us. So, when the water was going to hit one of us, we would toss our shit to the other ones. Then, we rode the log ride, and had to take our shit with us on it, also. So me and Ashley put it behind us. And damn did we get soaked. But, we saved all of our shit. Then we all rode some wooden coaster that was more for kids, but it was fun anyway. Next, Ashley started feeling sick and didn't want to ride anymore, so we rode the Mean Streak. (Another wooden coaster.) It was OK, but those wooden coasters toss you around everywhere. Then Ashley still didn't feel like riding, so we went and rode the Magnum. Then we took a food/smoke break while bub and Ashley went to the car to get Advil. Then we rode the Iron Dragon, and Ashley decided to ride it. And we all loved that one. It wasn't scary, it was just fun to ride. Then Linz talked me into riding Millennium Force so I talked Ashley into. And the whole time in line I was freaking out having a panic attack because I kept looking at the freaking hill, and then we rode it, and that is now my new favorite coaster. Then we rode the indoor one. I don't remember what it is called right now. But it was OK. It just sucked because it only lasted like 30 seconds. Then Linz talked me into riding Top Thrill Dragster, so we all went to get in line, and that's when the clouds came up overhead and they shut all of the rides down. So, we went to the arcade for a little while, and the rain calmed down, but the sky was still really dark, so we ate some Pizza, and Linz wanted to try to wait out the storm, but I said I didn't want to wait until it started piss-pouring the rain again to leave, so we left. And we didn't get our hand stamped, so we got out to the parking lot, and we look back, and behind us the sky is completely clear, and the rides were going again....and we rode in the rain all of the way home. But needless to say, we had a really good time. we rode just about everything.



-Anyway-



We came back here on the 19th, and Duke's funeral was on the 20th. So we went to that. (RIP Dustin "Duke" Phillips.) And then yesterday, (the 21st), was Michaels funeral. (RIP Michael Scott Webb.) (I love and miss you both!) So that makes 8 friends so far. But, I don't prefer to go into details about all of that.....but, that is what has been going on.
