Poor Johnny and How Amazing X is

Just got back from Magic Mountain. Poor Jael and his pals have to ride back to up North right now. OMG. Dude Jael, hope the trip goes safe and FUCK, you're a trooper! I met Jael and 5 of his friends at MM this morning at 10 am and left the park just past midnight (the park "closes" at 10pm, but since we were in line for a ride, we were able to stay till we rode it.) Lines were TOTALLY not too bad. Most of the day, the longest we ever waited for a ride was about 25 minutes, but it was usually more like 15. Towards the afternoon, some of the newer rides had long lines, so we waited in one line for an hour (ouch) and then the last line of the night for 2 FRIGGIN HOURS! It was for the ride X.

X is the GREATEST fucking ride EVER. Swear to god. Its very hard to describe, and there's definately an element of surprise that I wouldn't want to spoil for someone whos never been on it, but FUCKING SHIT- oh my god, it was worth the 2 hour wait. It would have been worth it to get in line, ride it, get back in line, ride it again, get back in line again, ride it ride it ride it , all day long. Jeebus. Next best ride was Goliath (which we got on 3 times) but it SO pales in comparisson to X: THE RIDE.

Fuck, that place is expensive as shit though. I can't even IMAGINE how fucked Disneyland must be nowadays. One "sorta" cool thing, although its also kind of lame, is that you can buy your soda or lemonade in a "Sports Collector's Cup" for $6.99 . (Its like on of those maybe 24ounce sport cups with the those bendy straws.) THEN, the rest of the day, its 99 cents to refill it with soda ($2.00 w/ lemonade.) You basically have to get that fucking cup, otherwise youre paying $2.50+ for a small drink everytime. Its just a random example, but wow. And then all the food is $7+ - pretty nuts.

so fucking tired- it was SO much fun (the no-lines-till-the-end scenario made the amusement park VERY tolerable.) When my cash ran out around 4-5pm, I started getting really tired. And then Jael's friends were like "Hey Rude-A-Rino. Can u give our friend a ride to Westwood??? OK? COOL DUDE YAR!" And I agreed even though I didnt want to, and it just grinded at me, ugh, but in the end since we were at the park till midnight, that dude decided to go home with Jael instead. Sorry about that Jah-Knee. I need to be more assertive about that shit. BUT, the way the asked was kind of obnoxious and forceful: "YA dude! ITS CLOSE, RIGHT? NO PROBLEM, RIGHT?? YA? CLOSE TO YOU! TOGA TOGA TOGA!" Ugh, I hate that shit.

But, fuckin awesome seeing you dude!

We MUST visit Jael soon!!! You get through your monday alright, chester!
