User blog:Fadingsilverstar16/Hi lovelies!

So yeah. Another update for you all because I said so.

I'm a good ten (or is it eleven?) pages in to Chapter 16, and it's going a lot faster than I thought it would. I really, really, really want to get this chapter done so I can start editing it because it almost makes me grimace whenever I go back and read over what I have now. It's messy and terrible and I want to pound it in with the Edit Hammer so badly. And let me tell you, this one is going to need a good, hard edit. I feel like it's just a skeleton of a chapter. There's no meat (aka decent description), but I'm pretty okay with the dialog. It's going to take a lot more than dialog to make this chapter not-awful, though. It looks so rushed right now. Ugh.

Anywaaaaaaay, my birthday's coming up soon! Yep, June 16th. It'll be turning 15 years old. I'll be getting money as a present this year just like last year, and with it I shall buy myself a new iPod speaker, an iPod car charger, and many flowers to decorate the patio with, among other awesome things that make Gigi very happy. :D I also want to go to Disneyland around that time, since that's when World of Color will finally make its debut! I remember when this show was first announced about four years ago, back when there was just one little picture of some concept art for this year. Many months and a few hundred million dollars later (and I'm serious about the money thing), it's finally here! I cannot wait.

By the way, here's a funny story! My dad and little brother were just about tired of Disneyland at the end of last year, so they sacraficed their annual passes so they could have Magic Mountain passes. My little brother was complaining about Disneyland all the time and how it was for babies and stuff like that and my dad said that he'd had just about enough of fireworks shows and parades and Soarin' Over California and whatever else (which is his favorite ride, by the way). My mother and I decided to keep our Disneyland passes (but we ended up getting Six Flags passes as well), and Dad and my little bro let their passes expire. "Blah blah blah never going to Disneyland again blah blah stupid castle blah blah stupid festive atmosphere blah blah stupid Space Mountain blah blah Magic Mountain ROCKS blah blah Goliath blah blah X2 blah".

So now, it's almost been six months since we got our passes. We've gone to Six Flags about six times since then. We've even gone with our friends a few times. It's been terrible. We've waited in lines for HOURS, guys. Hours. And the rides are so intense that we're tired just after one or two, sometimes three. The food is really expensive (and I didn't think they could outdo Disneyland in the food expense department but one stinking pizza is TWENTY TWO DOLLARS GUYS and the funnel cakes, although they're the best tasting funnel cakes I've ever had, are nine dollars). And I am not paying literally forty dollars more to have the stupid Flashpass or whatever it is that lets us skip the line. NEVER. That's just a ripoff. It was awesome the first couple of times we went, but now both my dad and my little brother miss Disneyland. The last few times we've gone to magic mountain, he's been complaining about how he has a headache from Viper or whatever and wants to go home. My little brother, who goes by Sting on the interwebs, begged for these Magic Mountain passes. He was the one on a giant campaign to get them.

And now? He just told me that he wants to let them expire next year. My dad agreed. Both of them want passes to Disneyland again.

Gigi - 1

Dad and Sting - Zilch

Life's good. xD

But don't get me wrong, I like Six Flags and Disneyland has its own fair share of problems (for example, it can get really packed when people are waiting for shows like the fireworks and it's even worse if the Cast Members don't know what they're doing, which happens sometimes). The rides at Magic Mountain are fun, but there are just so many things that I dislike about it that I never had to deal with while I was just a snobby Disneyland passholder. I didn't think Sting and my dad would be bothered by all of the problems I mentioned above, but it looks like they're tired of it too. xD

So that's my theme park-related rant for the month. Next time, see my explosion into a cloud of pixie dust when World of Color finally gets here! xD
