Honestly, the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this word was "rollercoasters." I think I attribute that to one of two things - either I am a huge nerd that relates everything to science, or a small nerd that played Rollercoaster Tycoon for way too many hours in my life and used "inverted" loops and things like that.
But, rollercoasters are indeed are currently a hot topic indeed in my little land of daydreaming. It's OCTOBER... which means it's Fright Fest season. I remember last year's Fright Fest experience very thoroughly. Kath, Danika, Christi and I went at 10:00 A.M. and by the time it was getting dark outside, we were exhausted... so the amount of "scariness" we experienced was very limited - I think we were home by 6 or 7. Kind of lame, now that I look back at it. But, I remember one of the highlights was standing in line at Iron Wolf (I think?) and seeing Abby, very randomly. I love those situations. ANYWAYS - this Fright Fest I will definitely stay through the whole thing. I don't really mind if we don't go on all the rides, because that's not the point of Fright Fest, and I'm fairly sure that I will never get better luck on getting on rides than I did when we went this summer.
I used to like to pretend that I was a spontaneous individual, but sometimes I wonder if that's true when I like planning everything in advance. I am obsessed with the future - both short and long term. I think I've realized the lack of control we have over so much of the future and planning things out as if I really do have a say in what happens is comforting. Kelly is coming home this weekend, and I have so much planned between Friday and Sunday. I guess I am just inclined to maximize all the time I have with her and obsessively planning every second of the day accomplishes that?
I'm going to be honest - I'm listening to Eminem right now. I like how songs have the ability to bring up memories that have absolutely nothing to do with the the song itself. Most of the impure songs I listened to as a child have that effect.
I think I turned out alright.
