let me go off for a minute here: what the hell kind of marketing idiot came up with "w.o.f."?! i can see the focus group - "hey, i bet we could make lots of really tiny and cheap merchandise for these poor suckers to buy and start filling whole new sections in our God-forsaken gift shops if instead of spelling out the tediously long phrase: "Worlds of Fun", we just shortened it to "w.o.f."! and then, as our new slogan takes a GIANT leap towards all things rediculously hip and trendy, we will start putting "w.o.f." on ALL of our merchandise! that way, by the time we finish butchering the name of the theme park, all of the concept artists that spent hours and hours developing coordinating rides/music/decorations/themes throughout the park to imitate different parts of the "world" that offer different kinds "of fun" will be forgotten completely and lost along with the abysmally stupid idea of "w.o.f."! GENIUS!
so anyway, i went to WORLDS OF FUN yesterday. and oh yes, i did indeed have: worlds of fun. my sister-in-law messaged me on a whim friday because she happened to have the weekend off and so she drove up here sunday and we went up there to spend $40 wandering from roller coaster to roller coaster screaming our heads off. it was actually the first time in the 9 years that she has been in my family that we have ridden a coaster together and it was a BLAST. i'd have to say that my favorite was the Mamba. it was not one of the upsidedown ones - but we made the special exception to sit in the front row each time we rode it so that we were the very first ones to experience the feeling of dropping straight down into obvilvion at high rates of speed. if i hadnt been too busy screaming, laughing, and spitting on myself, i probably would have soiled my pants. but luckily i was otherwise occupied.
in other news: mom and dad left for Vegas today. i am very happy for them and am hoping that they win lots of money so that they can help me pay for my plane ticket for an upcoming trip to north carolina in september. (but mostly just hoping they have fun - which i know they will) they're seeing lots of shows and dressing up and spending lots of money. they will be gone until friday. i can't wait to hear from them to know how it's going. :O)
also, charles completed his motorcycle safety course this weekend, which means 2 things: 1 - he will be able to ride the bike on base once he gets it back this week (2002? ducati 750 turbo, yellow - for those who dont know); and 2 - he went back to work today and i wont really see him again until this weekend. he's on "swing shift" for the next 3 months and works all afternoon/evening. so i usually celebrate that by taking a nap in the evenings since i dont have cable. i need to clean the kitchen too, but since that is my least favorite job, i am puting it off. gotta love that procrastination!
