Whee! It's Christmas Eve! I'm taking a break from helping wrap gifts and making food...

So yesterday i went to Magic Mtn with Janice & co...i had originally thought i hadn't been to magic since frosh year of high school, but i remember i went either junior or senior year with Lisa and Mrs. Trujillo for a CSF event, but we didn't ride many rides that time...i just remember skipping out while they rode Superman. Anyway, it was a lot of fun! I hadn't ridden rollercoasters in a while and i was scared at first, but my adrenaline started to rush and i was really excited by the end of the day when we were in line for X. That's a crazy coaster - most of the time i couldn't tell whether i was facing forwards or backwards, and then suddenly i'd flip or something. It's way fun, nonetheless. Goliath scared the hell out of me, i don't think i'll ride that until later...that's such a mean, steep drop that it has. So my favorite coasters there has grown to include Riddler and X, in addition to Viper and Batman. There wasn't much of a crowd because of the weather and it's off-season, so the lines for batman and viper were non-existent; we did have to wait a bit for Riddler and then X took the longest because they kept having some technical difficulties. Fortunately it only took about 1.5 hours, compared to the 7-8 hour wait i heard other people had to wait for the ride. After the park closed we at at Kabuki over in Pasadena and helped ourselves to lots and lots of sushi. It was a real fun day!

Merry Christmas! I'm thankful for the great network of family and friends that i have, especially those who've supported me and put up with my craziness and stuck around. =) It means a lot and i hope i'm even half of a friend of what you've all been to me...
