summertime is for rides

Tonight, in an incredible feat of triple-dating, Erica & Kevin, Jenna & Jeremy and Ben & I ate an entire octopus. We also consumed two bottles of wine, a 6er of Red Stripe, two small pizzas and an order of super garlicky bruschetta. And THEN we went to a little carnival at Lane Tech high school, and we ate cotton candy, and we rode on the crazy ride that goes back and forth, and a ride that was lying down in fake hangliders, and a mini giant drop. The mini giant drop was also FREE, because they shut down the ticket booth, but Jeremy convinced me to ask the guy, and he waived us on. For the price of one Coke. Here is my impression of me on the Giant Drop ride, as it slowly rose up and then plummetted down:

"Oh boy.. oh boy. Ohhh, shit. Ohh shit. Shit. Oh fuck. Ohh fuck. Ahhhh! Ahhh! Ahhh. Shit!! Ahh! Ahhh God! Oh no! Ah shit. Awww, fuck! Fuck! Ahh!! Ahh ha ha ha ha! Ah ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa fuck! Aahh! Ahh!! AAAh!! AaaaaAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEE! AAAAAAAAAIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE! AAAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! AHH! AHHH!! AAAAAAAAH!!!!"

It was fucking fabulous.
