DID YOU MISS ME?

Probably not.
But whatever.

Let's jump into today's topic.
CARNIVALS :D

So yesterday, I went to our towns fair. Since we're a big city, we just get that one that travels all across North America. It's pretty awesome actually. But the kind of sad thing is that they recently changed the name to "Capital Ex" and while I've adapted and now call it that, "Klondike Days" (Or kdays, as the awesome people called it" IS NO MOAR. And you know what? It was WAY COOLER. It just made us sound more legit. But NOOOOOOOOO. Call it some super gay preppy modern name so Calgary has a reason to be MOAR BETTER THAN US. And I actually do think that Calgary is better than us. Their city's nicer, their hockey team's better and their fair's better. But I still love Edmonton. A lot. :D OFF TOPIC. So, I managed to only net 82 calories yesterday, since I walked for like 10 hours and didn't eat very much. (Woah, way to kick me off the internet COMPUTER!) AND. I won myself a Shinx :D. I didn't need a boyfriend to get it, I got it in only 3 tries (And I won twice since you had to trade up for it) and I was playing that really awesome water gun game. I honestly think that I won because of my experience with FPS. Oh wait, I suck at fps. Nevermind. And you know those ride all day wristbands? I haven't taken mine off yet. It reminds me too much of bbq :D. And you know what's horrible? At 10:30 at night, we decided "Hey, let's go on that bigass ferris wheel!" So we did. And you know what was right next to it? The drop of fear. Now, If you've never heard of this ride, I need to explain it to you. You sit in your seat, and it takes you to the top of a tower. (It's like a pentagon of about 10 seats) And your fate is basically in the hands of the guy way below. Now, you're hanging there waiting to drop from god knows how many feet and you start to panic, thinking you're STUCK. Now, of course you're not stuck and the guy eventually presses the button and it drops in about 2 seconds. The split second before it drops, it makes the sound of the tower releasing the pentagon thing. It is the worst sound in the history of the universe because it is so terrifying. ANYWAYS. We're on this ferris wheel. And this thing is almost as high as this tower. And the drop of fear goes pretty fast so it's going CONSTANTLY. We're stuck at the top of this ferris wheel and WE HEAR THAT DROPPING NOISE 10 TIMES. I am terrified of heights. So every time I heard this noise, I thought we were dead. But we're not of course. And after we get off, my friend Christian asks the attendant "So uh, why do those things twist?" The guy calmly replies "Oh, you were unscrewing it." Wat.

And I just thought I'd say that I love my shinx like my secondborn child (First being my guitar) and I've decided to name him Broseph. I'm very proud of him.
