As I mentioned before, I’ll be at Disney on my birthday.  Which means we have to fly there.  Well, not really I suppose.  We could drive, but that’s just extra vacation days I’d be wasting.  But regardless, we will be flying.  Knowing that makes me kind of nervous.  I’m not petrified or crippled with fear, I’m just a bit uneasy about it.  I’ve flown before.  I flew to California for E3 a few years ago, and we flew to Disney the last time too.  I know people do it all the time, but I still don’t care for it.  I’m afraid that the plane is totally going to fall out of the sky.  If I where in a car accident, it would be quicker, but in a plane I’d have to sit there and wait for the impact… and my death.  I won’t let it get to me though.  I won’t let me fears being me down in any way.  Besides, I’m sure everything will be fine… I hope.

Anything make you nervous?

I can’t stand’em.  I know lots of people that do but I just can’t take them.  I feel all kinds of nauseous afterwards and they scare the crap out of me (actually, that’s pretty much all canival type rides).  Oh sure, they look really cool, I see people having lots of fun on them and to be honest, I wish I did like them… but I just can’t make it happen.  From time to time I’ll get brave and try one out only to remember “oh yeah, that’s why I don’t like them”.  I’ve even tried some large water slides.  Nope, can’t do those ether.  I guess it doesn’t help that I hate swimming, so really it’s my own damn fault right there.  I’ve had friends tell me that it’s okay and I should just keep riding them until I’m use to it.  Ugh… I think it’s the adrenalin rush that I get… or just plain fear.  The only roller coaster I can do is Thunder Run at Canada’s Wonderland.  It goes in the mountain and it’s pretty fun and short.  Most of the people I know won’t go on it though because it’s pretty tame.  Well, screw those guys!  I guess I just prefer my roller coasters in tycoon form.

Do you like roller coasters or try and pressure your non coaster friends to ride them?
