Oooooooook, I’m only giving myself a few lines to fume, because I could go on forever. I was SUPPOSED to go to my favorite place on the planet today with some people from my school, which is Cedar Point. Number 2 amusement park in the world, only 2 hours west of me. I have been waiting for 2 months for tday! But… it was raining. so \* the trip was cancelled \*. Now of course it is 80 degrees and sunny. But this morning, it was raining just a teensy bit. So now my fun has been cancelled by the evil people. My record of riding every roller coaster there at least twice will have to remain untrue since I can’t very well ride the new 410 feet tall one now. I am so upset. It’s a beautiful day now, and I should be there riding it and eating junk food. I have been saving my money for months. I am SO ANGRY. At least I’m getting Chinese food tonight. Maybe then I will feel better. GRRRRR. OK, now please pardon my childish fuming, but this is the BBQ pit, right? Merla :mad: ---

Well, if it’s any consolation, the wait for the Top Thrill Dragster was in excess of **four** hours! Apparently they had to hand out bathroom passes to those in line so that they would not lose their place. [Here’s](http://www.clickondetroit.com/det/entertainment/stories/entertainment-219360220030509-120524.html/) the article. Man, four hours in line, just to get the crap scared out of you. If I want that, I just open my Visa bill :eek: 🙂 ---

Dang, submitted too early. Sucks that your day was cancelled. I hate it when that happens. On the bright side though, you still have all the money that you saved, and you get chinese food. I’d say things are coming up Milhouse for you 🙂 ---

It snowed here in Denver, and my first road race ever up Lookout Mountain got cancelled. I sent in my $10 to get my new liscense, borrowed a $2500 bike from my dad’s friend that lives an hour away, and the whole damn thing got cancelled for a stupid 1" snow storm. On May 10th. It hit the 80’s earlier this week. Uhhhhh…
