The Weekenders


I haven't been so sick of Busch Gardens in my life. I went to Norfolk this past weekend and all three days we were there went to Busch. 6 hours on Friday, 5 on Saturday and 5 on Sunday before driving home. We rode Apollo's a ton because there was practically no line when we went. Did the Griffon too which is always fun, even in the third row. On Friday we wanted to save some bucks and eat dinner outside the park, oh and I saw Jason and Ashley there which was pretty weird. So we ate dinner at around 11:00 at IHOP in Norfolk and let me tell you, I don't think I could ever fast. That was the worst feeling of hunger I have ever felt. Although I can't complain because I did get a meal in eventually when there are people who feel the same kind of hunger but they don't get a meal in the end. So Saturday we woke up, ate poptarts and fudge cakes for breakfast and hit up Busch again. This time I saw Ryan Weber and Jessica M. and Melissa Nac. and yeah, talk about random. Good to see them though. Saturday we became experts on how t0 ride Apollo's with the most air, if you come with me the next time I go I will show you our secrets. It's pretty scary but loads of fun. Just know where you're going if you happen to fall out and die. We saw a friend's play who works at Busch which would be great for little kids but kind of sucked for older persons. But he acted great. Then did some little rides and improvised for fun. There was some ride in Italy that was a thrill ride and it was in a cart, spun you in a loop and the fun part was to try and not let the momentum push you to the outside. HOLY CRAP it is freaking hard. Also rode Corkscrew hill without the seat belts and hands which is completely different ride altogether. Again, if you come with me I will show you. Loads of fun though. Then it started to thunderstorms so we were like let's hit up the beach while it's storming cuz that's when there will be big waves. So we get to Norfolk, I get lost on the way which happened a lot when driving them around....pretty embarrassing, eat some Moe's, get the trunks and hit the beach. We swim in darkness for about an hour and then hit up the strip on the Beach where all the people are because they've never really been to something like that and wanted to go. Very sleazy that place is but it's to be expected. So we get back and visit Katie and Yannick while they were watching Fight Club.....dunno what to make of that yet. So that night we camped out in the living room just joking around while my neighbors were having a great time cussing and talking very loudly about how white girls are f-ing this or f-ing that. It was scary, seeing their heads' shadows through my windows. So we hit up Busch again on Sunday before leaving for B-burg which is when I got my first ticket. All in all, this trip was really fun and these guys are really funny to be around. They are awesome at improvising for fun and can turn the most boring of rides into the funnest of attractions. I didn't quite get their inside jokes, which there was a lot of, but they didn't mind explaining it which didn't help anyways but they were still funny when said in certain circumstances. These guys are pretty close bunch being around each other all year round and hanging out a lot, a group I'm not really in, but I didn't feel too much of an outsider which was nice. But their up for visiting which would be really cool since their humor is unlike anyone else's and is really funny if you know them. But I think I'll go to Busch one last time and that will be it. I know I've gone more times than people that actually live there. That's pretty good for being 5 hours away. Off being a nerd......
