wizards and g forces.... (another kind of long one)

you cant really tell, but my horse has about 7 real horse hairs sticking out of its backside, despite its less than adequate tail, she still rode like a doll...

alright so i believe there is a bit of catch up in order here...

so on tuesday a bunch of us went into central cause ages ago we made a booking to go see a play called equus ( i believe i have referenced this play in previous blogs...my avid readers will have picked up on this!) anyways it stars daniel radcliffe or as the world knows him....HARRY POTTER! now dont get your knickers all in a twist, let me tell you about the play. daniel plays a disturbed kid who has to go to therapy for blinding 6 horses with a hoof pick. and the whole play is him in therapy (his therapist is played by richard griffiths a.k.a uncle vernon from harry potter) and alan strang (daniel radcliffe) getting through his problems. it is a very heavy play and i would not want to perform it everyday, and twice for a matinees on wednesdays and sundays...no thank you. but basically alan strang believes that horses are a form of jesus and he is creepily obssessed with them...it was a really good play and at one part he ends up getting totally naked. so that was an experience all in its own. yeah.

anyways after the play we bolted to the pack stage door to see if we could score an autograph, of course there are people out there already fixing their makeup and checking to see if they have anything in their teeth to try and impress a 17 year old who they think is just "brilliant". 1 out of 4 of us got his autograph, but we did get pictures. he is actually really short ( but arent they all) probably about 5'6 or 5'7.... AND the best part is that he is trying to grow a beard (and not very well mind you) as you can see from the pictures he has like 4 hairs on each side rockin.... i plan to go back sometime when i know the play is about out so i can get in line around the barricades before everyone else so i can go grab his autograph and some others from the play and bolt, getting off on my merry way....

this is my favourite picture cause of the guy in the background sending lasers out of his eyes to get daniel's attention....ahahahhahahahasign away young radcliffe...sign awayi feel like he is saying "do you really like me hat?"

wednesday-friday was boring i did nothing but homework and still feel like i accomplished nothing.

so saturday (or today)....

jenna, courtney, amaya, and myself made the hour trip by bus to a little place called thorpe park. an amusement park, and we had the best time ever!!!! we said nevermind to the terribly cold weather and went for it. (mind you about 4 hours in we were all freezing). there were about 4 good big rides...one including (and the main reason for our visit, it was also the grand opening of it) stealth. how cool does that sound??? really! the deal is you go from 0-80 in 2.3 seconds and you go up 202 feet and down basically at a 90 degree angle for about 2 seconds. amazing. it doesnt look like much from the picture or actually up close, not until you are actually riding it does it dawn on you how magical this ride really is. it quickly became my fav!

stealth in all its glory

a bummer thing about this amusement park is that it really attracts what the british call chavs, or as we say white trash. there were so many teenage chavs running around it hurt. i felt my status in society falling while around them. they were rude and ALL thought that they were the coolest in the park (which obviously wasnt ture if we were in there...duh). the other rides that this place included was one called the inferno something. but the main part is the inferno, that one rocked the feet hanging method, while colossus went with the traditional car with 10 loops and twists in it. amazing. AND one of my personal favourites turned out to be one called the flying fish, it was a really lame roller coaster obviously built for kids too old for little kid rides but not big enough for the big thrill rides. it was so intense that it actually was given a camera (like a thrill ride) to capture your excitment....this was jenna and i's:

enough said. no we didnt buy, we just quickly took a picture of it.

at one point jenna and i decided to sit some out cause we had headaches ( i think mine was from lack of water) anyways the other girls went on some twirly ones and jenna and i messed around

this is what i would look like if i was a peeping tom...
we found some random door while waiting for the girls to get off of zodiak. we dubbed it the secret lab and this is what i would look like if you discovered me going into my lab when i didnt want you too...

speaking of the zodiak ride, this ride looks like a ferris wheel when it is in full swing with individual carts that hold two people in them. of course you are spinning around and around and go upside down and all sorts. anways while waiting for the girls to get off the ride jenna and i spied these two boys who were obviously really excited to go on this ride. turns out (from amaya and courtney) that once you get going there is no actual seatbelt holding you in and the person in front is basically sitting in the other's lap because it is one big seat. but when you go upside down its sorta a free-for-all in there. so i renamed that ride death trap, and was glad that i didnt go on it.

jenna and i laughed really hard when we saw this....oh what fun an amusment park can really be.

this is how well amaya, me, and jenna are dealing with the cold. i gave my mittens/gloves ( i can never remember which is which) to jenna cause her fingers were worse than mine

on a ride and freezing, but STILL having fun!!!!

us on what i called the fine china ride (better known as the teacup ride) those are our posh faces because the china we were in looked very posh, little did i know that while turning the wheel in the middle to go faster my hand would cramp for a second making me laugh very hard...so hard i almost peed my pants. man, that ride was fun.

making sure that the seat worked properly....it does. no worries.

anyways the whole day we managed to keep the rain away, which is good cause otherwise i would of been a very unhappy camper. but all in all thorpe park was really amazing, and a really fun fun fun way to spend a saturday. i doubt anyone will but i will throw this in here too http://thorpepark.com you can all check it out if you wanna. okwell i hope you all enjoyed my adventures, sorry i didnt slay any dragons or risk my life to save a kitty from a tree, but i rock different kinds of adventures!!!!

ok well big day tomorrow, i am gonna go into central and see DOLLY PARTON IN CONCERT!!! yeah i pretty stoked let me tell you...alright! so you will probably be seeing another post from me very soon, very soon indeed!!!! by the way, thanks dad for getting these tickets for us!!!
