Coaster season is about to begin, soon. My tour this year will start at Holiday World. Due to the high price of gas, I may scale back my jaunting for local parks (or at least closer parks). Kennywood and Geauga Lake will most definitely be on the tour. Geauga Lake will finish up their water park so that should be cool. My annual stop at Cedar Point may be nixed this year. If I don't make it there, it will be the first time in about 10 years that I didn't go. They have something big planned there for next year, so I will definitely get back in 2007. May do the Michigan Parks tour, or the Virginia tour, who knows. Time will tell.

[PsychoMan]

My roommates are moving out of my house, and my girlfriend is moving in. I'm taking the opportunity to repaint 10 of the rooms in the house. That process starts tomorrow!

I had a vacation planned to Newfoundland to visit my sister Alix (who still lurks around here somewhere), but now my friends in San Jose have just announced their wedding date, and it is right at the start of my vacation... so what I will probably wind up doing is flying out to San Jose a few days early, take in the sights, attend the wedding, and then fly from there across the freaking continent to Newfoundland to visit Alix.

Should be fun.

[STANLEY C. TAYLOR]

I'm going to cross that bridge once I come to it.

That's gonna be my summer, pretty much. :(

Yeah, you see... I read her post last week, and I thought on it and thought on it... read some Voltaire, meditated, did some psychotropic drugs, and then I cracked my knuckles and churned out that masterpiece.
Seven days in the making, baby!:cool:

[Alix]

... and then fly from there across the freaking continent to Newfoundland to visit Alix.

While I wait for Psychoman to arrive for his vacation, I'll be writing a major research paper tracking public opinion in Ireland in the aftermath of the Easter Rising in 1916.

Yay for summer?

Why, Alix, your summer sounds like the kind a history grad student would have! Are you a fellow geek?

[Alix]

How very observant of you. I am indeed a history grad student, at least until the fall when I join the working world.

[pmFan]

But, will you be painting your steps? :clap:I did the front step Friday and Saturday (prime, then color). That's even *worse* than the freakin eaves!!!

[Mistress M]

Come on, you know you'd rather be "riding your bike midday past the 3 piece suits"!!

So what kind of trouble can a history student get into in the "working world"?

[Alix]

Damned if I know. Hopefully I'll figure something out. I can work for the government (at a nice payscale), but I might have to learn french first. It's times like this I wish Canada was colonized by the Germans (dann würde es sehr leichter eine Job zu finden.) Mind, you could also just accuse me of learning the wrong second language.

You spent your entire childhood and teenage years growing up in a city where just about every sign is in both english and french, and you have to go and learn german as a second language. Geez.

I guess I understand though... french is annoying. I really can't preach, either... I used to know enought french and german to get by, but after living in the south for so long I can't remember anything. I think my english is suffering as well, which is quite scary. Soon I won't know any language. I will communicate with grunts and basic hand gestures.

I think it's a rebellion thing sometimes though. Even though Spanish is obviously the more practical language in the U.S., I took French. Mainly because all the hispanic students in my school took Spanish and I was like: I'm not gunna compete with people who have been speaking this since birth and watch my GPA crash.

Of course, the irony is that by high school, most of the hispanic students had flunked out of Spanish. :rolleyes:

Though, if you think about it...learning German caused me to go to Germany, where I met my bestfriend, who is now quadralingual with french as his mothertongue...if he can't teach me french, no one can. So, by learning German, I acquired the perfect private tutor for learning french. It just cost me a little more time than most people spend...but I will learn french! (hopefully) :P

You and me both. It's not like Newfoundland is a sanctuary for proper english. You've always been pretty good at getting your point across in as few words as possible, so I'm sure you'll be fine...your emails will probably get pretty weird though. ;)


I think it's a rebellion thing sometimes though.

And yeah, that's exactly what it was. Back in those days I loathed everything that had to do with french...now two of my bestfriends are french-Canadians, and I've matured out of the hating-things-for-spite phase of my life, so I wouldn't mind learning the language.

[Mistress M]

Not me. I will never go to Disneyland, read Harry Potter, or see a whole slew of movies just for spite. :p

[Harmeister]

you are missing out on a lot in life then...

[Mistress M]

Well, I guess that depends on how you define "life."

My parents never took us to Disneyworld. Instead, they took the money and we went to such lame places as Europe, the Northwest, and the Caribbean.
As an adult, I continue their boycott of Disney, preferring to spend my money on real castles instead of plastic ones.

And not wasting my time on such hyped up crap as Harry Potter books or movies like "Titanic" and "Shrek" has yet to leave a significant void in my life.

[Chukwuka]

The same thing I do every summer, Pinky!!!

[syxxpm]

try and take over the world!!!! :D

[Chukwuka]

You're the man, Sikx!!

[syxxpm]

but brain...where are we gonna find rubber pants our size.,..ZOOOOOORT!

[Chukwuka]

I've no time to ponder preposterous subject matter, Pinky!! I've devised a brilliant plot to get Be to post some exclusive new lyrics on the forum!!

[Harmeister]

that was a brilliant post :)

I'm with you on that one. The only reason I went to disneyworld was because it was on someone elses dollar...and having been there, I can safetly advise people that their money would be much better spent on a plane ticket to Europe.

As for Harry Potter and what not...I now give everything a shot. I enjoy Harry Potter, (I also absolutely love A Series of Unfortunate Events, just because of the wonderful writing style)...but I have absolutely no desire to see the Titanic sink in realtime while an overly dramatic tragic love story takes place.

Going to Toronto this weekend for a wedding. Trying to sneak out to Canada's Wonderland and ride my 150th coaster (lifetime of course). Seems like I was stuck in the 130s and 140s forever. Canada's Wonderland will be my 28th park (if I make it). I need to go to either New England or Georgia to get my 30th amusement park. Hopefully, I will get that within the next two years.
