Awesome Night then a really HOT day...I mean...HOT
So, I picked ol'girl up at 6PM (and in retrospect this was way way too early) and I took her to Wal-mart to buy socks. Of course this is a very curious way to start a date. I'm sure she was kinda confused and worried by it at first. But I guess it made sense when we got to the iceplex. I like to ice skate on dates. I don't know why...it's just a great way to break the ice...sometimes with your face...or butt... And we skated till about 7:15 or so...then I decided it was time to go eat cause I was hungry and my whussy old man ankles were hurting. Yes, she beat me at ice skating...but I didn't know it was competition. She just picks things up faster than I do....at least that's what she said. I don't mind really. Infact, I think it's kinda cool. Anyway, we went on our way to Zasios (not sure on the spelling on that one) --the food was really good, and the company was even better...the best I could hope for. And it was just a really nice place. I recommend going there sometime. It's behind the star market at five points. So after dinner it was still really early and I was struggling to think of something else to do...cause what good date ever gets over at 8:30...uh...uh...yeah that's right...good dates don't get over early. So we went to play putt-putt at Funtasia. This girl, understand it...she's crazy competitive...and I like that...but I think putt-putt must be her weakness. I never added up the score but I think I won. Maybe. Even though it doesn't matter. Does it? After putt-putt we went to blockbuster and rented a movie called "BE COOL"--- We went and watched it in the MPR...and Steven Tyler said the most hilarious line in it..."Look at how those two legs just come up and make an ass of themselves." Apparently this girl is a biter too. lol, at least she snapped at me a few times. It was not "adorable."....however it was "endearing." After the movie I took her home and said goodnight.
Anyway, I had fun. Fun is what I EXPECTED...nothing more and nothing less. I just hope she keeps giving me the chance to have fun with her. Ok, that didn't sound right. I don't know how else to say it though...it isn't dirty you perverts. She's a sweet girl and I'll cuss you if you think otherwise.
So...I went to bed that evening at 2:15AM...but then I got up at 5AM...to go to six flags....and thus began the most horrible day in the heat I've ever suffered...and believe me, I've been to a lot...I MEAN A LOT of track meets...and in several different places...none were as bad as this. So...ATLANTA....
after a wonderful 4 hour drive, we made it to the park. I forgot to get a ticket the day before so I was scared I was going to have to pay full price. (tickets at the UC are half price yo) - So, I mingled a little with the people in line ahead of me at the ticket booth and it turned out these two guys needed help. One had a season pass, the other had a buy one get one free ticket. The problem...he couldn't use the buy one get one free unless he had another person. SWEET, so these two brazilian guys Miguel and Raphael, saved me about 23 bucks...I guess that's the last good thing that happened that day.
Don't get me wrong. I had fun. But I've never dealt with heat and felt as bad as I did yesterday. For quite a while (after my 11 dollar hotdog,fries, and pink lemonade) I felt like I was going to just pass out. I attribute this to a few things: 1. I was going hard on a little less than 3 hours of sleep. 2. That lunch was just ridiculously nasty. 3. It was EFFIN HOT...hottest day of the year 4. I have given up sodas...so guess what? NO CAFFEINE.
It was like I couldn't stay hydrated. Afterward I chugged so much gatorade. You have no idea. Imagine 8 hours of just sweating...like a disgusting pig. Anyway, yeah...so the heat was bad...the crowd wasn't terribly bad. The waits in lines were not very long sometimes. The line for the Scorcher was awesome...basically you walked up and got on the ride. It took a longer time in line for the Haunted Plantation...which by the way is officially the suckiest ride at six flags....and that includes the horrible beating you'll take if you ride the Cyclone...I promise. But the day was still a lot of fun. Some kids made fun of my pink shirt that I was wearing. I let it go the first two or three times...but the fourth time I told their mommy. This is what I said, "Ma'am are these children with you because they are being very rude and I don't appreciate it." Her reply, "just got ahead and beat them up. I don't care." -WOW>
So this is what I think would have been the funniest thing to say to that woman in the first place: "Ma'am, you should really speak to your children about the dangers of harassing complete strangers. You see, sometimes when you talk to strangers bad things happen. I'm a stranger, and I'm afraid bad things are about to happen." --I couldn't do it though. CURSE MY EAGLE SCOUT POLITE NATURE.
They always say being an eagle scout is a big deal. I've decided that it must not be really.

-Nick: it says you shouldn't ride the flume ride while pregnant.

-Ted D. Ray would have gone to six flags. I bet you anything.
- "Oh man, your phone is in there. It's right behind those cheese crackers you're holding." -Nick

-"You want some Excedrin Migrain?" Ashley
"I tell you he doesn't want any Midol." - Beth
"Damn skippy I don't." -Me
- Me: If they come out here and say they want to ride Batman again, let's strangle them.
Kurt: Ok.
- As we were sitting beneath the swings that go really high in the air... in the shade. I was telling Alfred and Kurt about how if one of those people decided it was a good time to puke...we'd all get a little sweet relief from the heat...heck yes, a puke shower.
- I wish I had played a game and won a prize. Preferably the pillow that said "DIVA"
GAH...that was a long post.
Anyway, I had fun. Fun is what I EXPECTED...nothing more and nothing less. I just hope she keeps giving me the chance to have fun with her. Ok, that didn't sound right. I don't know how else to say it though...it isn't dirty you perverts. She's a sweet girl and I'll cuss you if you think otherwise.
