where the magic never ends

i went to alton towers yesterday, cue kewlness all around, but meant i spent more than i wanted to this week (even though we saved �7 on each ticket with soap wrappers bought that self-same morning in tesco, at the ungodly hour of 7:30am). its so annoying buying food from theme parks. �1.50 for a piddly little ice cream and �1.29 for a midget salad! ridiculous...

i went with henry, ish, jeeb, little don and TK, even though there were more people we knew there. we left halls at about 7:20 but didnt leave liverpool til about eight, and got to alton towers not long after ten due to some crappy traffic on the way. i found out once we got there that henry is actually terrified of heights, but he was determined not to lose face in front of the group and went on everything even though he was white and shaking in the queues. he did feel good about it after though. his ride photos were the funniest things. on the black hole he was hiding behind me; i think he was yelling down my ear throughout the whole ride.

air is fantastic. it looks really scary, being suspended and that but it's so smooth, you feel like you're flying... i've had dreams about flying like that... when you're doing the sweeping turns and just skimming the ground its incredible, and there's this one bit where you bank out over the parking lot and you can't see anything beneath you... wow.

we got back about 7:20 and me and henry went off to fencing, thinking that they'd be finishing early to go to the pub but no, so we were there for an hour and not able to fence, grrr. mike bought 14 pints and told us to help oursleves; i got about a third of the way through mine and gave the rest to susan, preferring to stick with my oh-so-mature and hardcore orange squash. (i dunno why, i just fancied some!) it was kinda sad saying bye to everyone, especially as jon, alistair and shane are leaving (although only jon was there last night). it's going to be weird without them.

i didnt get to bed til about 2am, thanks to ish coming in and talking to me for ages, and slept in today til gone 12. oh well, its not like i have to get up for anything anyway. i should probably go and talk to our landlord tomorrow to find out whats happening over summer and when we get the keys and things. i'm really looking forward to having a house next year, it'll be so kewl. i'm looking forward to learning how to cook as well.. wow that'll be 'fun'. but the end should justify the means. i hope.

i'm going to leave this here as it's far longer than i intended, and maybe go watch a bit more buffy.

until next time
