LJIdol, Topic 9: "Counterintuitive"

Jan 09, 2012 11:37

As we approach the vivid purple awning that denotes the walkway's opening, I pull off my glasses and pass them to my best friend's mother.

The faster, higher, and more adrenaline-inducing the rollercoaster, the better I like it. I absolutely love 'em.

Great entry, lots of fun.

cheers,

Aw, that is a shame that there aren't any nearby now! Maybe on a vacation sometime? :)

Oh, what a delightful ending! I love roller coasters, too, but I never scream... apparently, pictures show that I just sit there grinning from ear to ear. What they don't know is I'm usually just giggling all giddy the entire way. Fast and crazy... gotta love it!

Hah! That's awesome. I think I personally get some sort of primal satisfaction out of the shriek - because, really, there's not very many other excuses to ditch all volume control! ;)

I love rollercoasters! The world is divided into rollercoaster-riders and purse-holders - so glad you are in the first group!

High fives for both of us, then! :D And exceeding gratefulness to the second group, for without them, my glasses would be dashed from my coaster adventures!
