My Great Adventures

I went to Great Adventure for the first of the usual 2 times per year. I got $15 dolla tickets from Twitter, courtesy of Shawn who was nice enuff to print them out for me (I don't have a printer) =/, and I went w/ my friend, Samantha.

We went on Saturday, and while I was waiting for her to come to my house, I sat outside talking to my downstairs neighbor about her nephew who was visiting. We both (me and the nephew) were out side one day when the cops came to our street to drag some lady off who said her husband hit her. She got maced and everything. During this time, the nephew proceeded to tell me about all the times he's been arrested, and how he wants to open a strip club, and how he stole his mother's credit card and charged 3000 dolla worth of strippers and lapdances on it. Um...........ok. Is that supposed to be impressive? Whatever! *shrug*

Sam came, and we drove to Jackson, stopped at Mc D's to get a 'reasonably priced meal' if there is such a thing anymore, before we got in the park. The food prices in Great Adventure are ridic!

My story about the 7 dollar slice of pizza for example - We didn't want to spend an arm and a leg so we split a slice of pizza at papa johns in Great Adventure. The pizza cost $7. it came w/ a few fries. Wow. Now the 7 dollar slice has been upped to 8.50! lmao Rip off!!!

Great Adventure was fun! Her parents yell at her saying she's too old for it, but I will always love the rides, and the rollercoasters. I wasn't allowed to ride one ride cuz I had my bag and the bitch wouldnt' let me clip it to the lap bar. So I had to get off the ride after I waited an hour. I rode that ride w a bag last year! I left my bag in a locker for 3hrs after that, well over t he hour and a half limit,and went on some more coasters.

A few of my coaster stories were as follows: Bizarro, which is hyped as the "all new Bizarro" is really just Medusa painted purple. It was cool tho'. I had trouble w/ the harness on "Bizarro" cuz my boobs have apparently gotten bigger since last year even tho' I'm only 5lbs heavier than last year. I had to squoosh them to get the harness to buckle. It kinda sucks cuz I know I've gained alotta weight but I am by far not the biggest person riding these rides. But it was kinda a push to get a move on on the weight loss project. I'm really tired of being so fat. I'm still surprised wh en I look in the mirror. I'm not used to seeing a fat girl look back. It'll take time to lose all this weight but I def have to get a move on.

Scream machine again, i had to squoosh my boobs (thank god theyre real, otherwise they might pop if they were implants lol) to get the harness tight. I was actually worried it would unlock cuz scream machine goes over the loops SLOWLY as eff. Anyway I SURVIVED! Hallelujah! The scariest part of the night was on Rolling Thunder, the piece of shit wooden coaster that's a year older than me! (it was built in 1979) It needs to be oiled badly. and it jerks around and shit. Its fun but scary just cuz you think one day insteada going around the curve, you'll go right thru the barrier. On the way up on the coaster, we stopped. The train just stalled. I was soooooooooo scurred it would start to roll backwards down the hill. Then we'd hit the other train behind us loading. Luckally we didn't roll backwards, and we got up the hill and continued on with the ride. After wards, some ghetto chick started screaming "hurry up and move the green train, you stupid ass bitch! It hot in here! Move dis fucking train!! Stupid ass bitch!" lmao. Pretty entertaining. We tried to go on El Toro (the newest wooden coaster that will probably replace rolling thunder) but the line was 1hr 1/2 wait. *sigh*. We went on some flight to mars 3d ride and waited over 40 min for that, then went to get my bag. My ticket for the locker said the wrong locker number on it, and I needed the locker attendant to open it.

The girl at Congo Rapids (the ride outside the lockers) said the girl who 's the locker attendant was having boyfriend issues and was in the bathroom on the phone. The manager came and finally the girl came back. I got my bag, and we left. We were gonna go to Chilis cuz of its cheap dinner specials by Monmouth Mall, but since it was getting late, we went to the Freehold Chilis and finally sat down and ate some food. I wished i coudlve taken a shower before din but we ended up not going out after and i just showered and finally smelled fresh as a cucumber again (my soap is cucumber scented ).

And that's about it. I don't think I'll ever get tired of rides. I couldn't go on Nitro (my fave) due to the long wait, or El Toro but hopefully during fright fest. I hope I can find more $15 tickets again. That helps my unemployed ass get out there and enjoy stuff.

Today just walked around OG boardwalk and had chinese. Gotta chill today cuz I start my first nursing class tomorrow in Hazlet. I hope it all goes well. I know I have a long road ahead of me to become a nurse but.... I hope it all works out for me. I've been thru too much shit in these past 3yrs and I deserve something to go my way. I want a respectible job, that I'm interested in, and know that I'll always be able to find a job no matter how bad the economy is. We'll see but tomorrow begins a new journey for me so *deep breath* here goes!
