Day 2: No pics in this one. None were taken of me.
Got up early again. I was in aches and pains because of the amount of walking I had to do. But I had something to look forward to today though. Today we were going to
Disneyland. Not to sound like a 10 year old but I was excited about it. I love roller coasters and the like. After the Hotels terrible excuse for a breckfast (A choice of a bread roll or a crosaint) we headed off.
After a hour and a half we arrived at Disneyland. The first thing we saw was Cinderallas castle. This annoyed me. I was hoping to see a Roller coaster first. Anyway I got over it. When the bus parked in the Tigger parking lot (Followed by chorus' of 'Remember guys, we're parked in the
Itchy lot.) we headed towards the ticket gates. As we got in we were told to meet by city hall at six. We had plenty of time. It was only ten o'clock. I found my friends and we headed out to Thunder mountain. For those who don't know, Thunder Mountain is a roller-coaster shaped like a Wild West train and it goes around a quite large hill. We decided to use our Fast-Pass tickets for this one. It didn't look that fast and we wanted to start out easy. Once we got our Fast-Pass tickets thou we realised we made a big mistake. We though that the Fast-Pass tickets would allow you to go straight into the Roller-coaster but we were mistaken. Very mistaken. See, what Fast-Pass ticketrs do is they give you a time to come back at and
then you walk in. Not that bad though, right? Wrong. It was 10 o'clock. The Fast-Pass tickets told us to come back between 1 and half 1. Big mistake. Anyway we got over that and we decided to go on the Indianna Jones ride while we waited. While we were trying to find our way to the Indiana Jones ride we met the teachers. They said they were going to the Pirates of the Carribian ride and they said we could come along if we wanted. What did we do? We went with the teachers. It would be some craic. So, we joined the line for PotC and to pass the time we made up a game. In the game we had to think of a name of a celebrity, and the next person had to also name a celebrity with the first letter of the last celebs surname and think of a celeb whos name began with that letter. (eg. If I said 'Christian Bale' my friend would have to say 'Barry White' then I would have to say 'William Tell' and so on) When it came to me I always, ALWAYS got the letter 's' and the only name I could think of was Sean Kingston. Why is that a bad thing? Well, my friend hates him with a passion. I mean really hates him. He hates his music, what he wears EVERYTHING. Needless to say he got really pissed off when I said his name. Oh well.
45 minutes later we arrived at the docking bay for the ride. Suddenly all the lights went on and an announcement came on. I had no idea what it was saying (Probably because it was in French) I asked the teacher and he said that the ride had broken and it would take a while to fix. 'Ok' I said. It wasn't all that bad. Little did we know how long we would be waiting. Near two hours passed before the ride was up and running. My legs were killing me so much and I just wanted to collapse on the spot. My friend then pointed out what time it was. It was 1:20. We started shitting bricks because we had to be at thunder mountain in 10 minutes. We climbed on the ride as it shuddered to a start. Even though we were in a rush I had to stop and laugh at a sign that said something along the lines of 'Prepare to explore the carribian, but beware mateys
Ye may get wet.Yes I'm that immature.
The next 7 minuts were filled with bad anamatronics, looped music and drops into water that didn't splash you. As the ride ended we jumped off it and ran to Thunder Mountain. But before we left we took a minute to look at the inevitable picture they took. One of my friends looked so bored I can make his face with a keybord. -_-. I'm not joking. We laughed a bit but the humor soon wore off as soon as we remembered we were in a rush.
We bolted towards Thunder Mountain, pushing though crowds, jumping across bushes, anything that would gwt us there in time. There was a clock at the Thunder Mountain Fast-Pass entrance. It read.....
15:38
crap. We were late. Looked like we had to go in the ordinary line....
Nah. We decided to bluff it. We walked up to the ticket woman as confident as ever, presented our tickets....... and got in. We headed straight to the top of the cue and got on. We were expecting it to be a slow enough ride. It wasn't. As we bolted out of the 'station' I think I left some of my lower intestine behind me. We zoomed around corners, through dark caves and sharp drops. It was brilliant. When it was over we headed towards the picture shower. Remember my friend who had the -_- face? Well he did it again. We laughed as much at that. It looked like he wasn't even on a roller-coaster.
Then we decided to get Fast-Pass tickets for Space Mountain. This was the mother load. Several loops, twists, sudden stops and drops at a really high speed. The only problem? We had to wait until 4:30 to go on. Meh. It wasn't that bad. All we had to do was go on another ride. That would take up the time. But then we had a split in the group. One half of the group wanted to rest for the one and a half hours. The rest (Including me) wanted go try one more roller-coaster. So to prevent bad blood between us (We can get really grouchy if we don't get sleep) we split up. We went to the Haunted House while the rest of the group went to sit down. When we got to the Haunted house we thoght the line wasn't that long.
Thats what we thought.
Turns out 3/4 of the line went criss-crossed in a hut. We spent ages in there. So long we had to break out the Pringles and tuc. Oh and one of my friends nearly got pickpocketed. Sorry. He did get pickpocketed. But they went into the pocket that had nothing in it.
Eventualy we got into the Haunted House. As about 1000 of us entered into a room that would probably only fit 10 it was cramped. REALLY cramped. Then the speaker came on. It probably said something about how the house was haunted and how scary it is. I say probably because it was all in French. Oh well. After that we headed into a room THAT TOTALLY WASN'T AN ELEVATOR and we as we didn't go down the lights went off and the lights were replaced with Gargoyles. This was the mose impressive thing on the Haunted house. We came across a tram and we climbed on it. But before this happened the girls fought over who would sit next to me.
Awwww yeah.
Except the reason why they were fighting over me was because there was uneven numbers. Not because I'm that sexy.
Anyway we went though the 'Haunted house' and every five minutes we stopped and were told that 'Playful spooks had stopped the ride' Funny the first time it happened, annoying the 15th time it happened. The scaryest thing about the 'Haunted House' was the waiting time to get in.
Finally half four had ticked over and we were able to go go on Space Mountain. This would be the highlight of the day. The best ride in the park. We couldn't wait. Straight to the top of the line and away the ride was everything we hoped for. It was BETTER than we hoped for. We headed to the picture place. We saw our picture. (You know whats coming next, don't you
) And my friend STILL had a -_- face on. The best laugh we had all day. (So far) It was hilarious. Seriously I burst a gut laughing.
With all of the (good) rides ridden we had nothing to do and an hour to kill. We had no idea what we would do to make up the time. Then one of my friends said he needed to go to the toilet. We went with him (To the toilets not in the toilet) And we watched the cars go around the ride by the toilets. Then we saw a classmate go around. She saw us and waved. While she was distracted she crashed (Nothing bad happened, it was going at about 10 MPH and its kinda on a rail) and her engine stalled. Many laughs were had. But that wasn't the best thing. The car behind her (That had another school friend in it) had to come to a halt. Then beside the stalled friend, two of her friends rolled up. Since no-one was coming to help the stalled friend jumped into their car and drove off. This left a huge traffic jam behind the stalled car and no-one to help. Even more laughs. But thats still not the best bit. After abour 10 minutes a cleaner saw the backup and got help. The help asked the friend if she knew who left the car. (As if the only car with three people in it wasn't obvious) Not wanting to get her friends into trouble she said that she didn't know who was in it. She was then taken off to spot the people out of a crowd. This was my favorite part of the trip. Better than the -_- face, better than the double decker bus, even better than my beret.
20 minutes later all four of them appeared, thrown off the ride and laughing all the way outside the car enclosure. That certinaly killed the hour. We went back to city hall and went back to the bus.
But even though the day went good so far we weren't able to escape the inevitable. Flunch. As the teachers announced it everyone resopnded with a sea of groans. Flunch. The only good thing about it was the fact you got a free drink with your meal. The blood. But luck was on our side that night. To the left of flunch there was a KFC. To the right of flunch there was a McDonalds. We were in heaven. Or so we thought.
I decided to go to Mcdonalds and get a Big Mac. The lines were long enough but since it was a Fast-Food chain the lines would move quickly right? Wrong. I have never seen such slow services in my life. We got there at 8 and we had to leave at nine. There were 4 people ahead of me. Guess what time I got my food at.
Go on I'll wait.
No not 10 past.
Not half.
Five minutes to 9. I had to shovel the food into my mouth. I don't think I ever ate that fast. But there was one good thing about it.
It wasn't flunch.
We then headed back to the hotel. Now you might think my story would end there. 10,500 letters later right? Wrong.
Now I was wrecked after Disneyland. All I wanted to do was read my comic (Sandman FTW) and sleep and my friends were ok with that. For half a hour. The phone in the room rang. I was going to let it ring out but after 5 rings I picked up. It was my friend. He asked me if I would like to come into the room he was in. I had nothing better to do so I went in. Nothing bad there. I went in. Talked for a while and made a couple of jokes. You know, the usual. Everyone was ok with that. Everyone but one. I was talking to a girl that I never talked to before. A shy girl who kept herself to herself. I joked about how she was so quiet and I made a remark about how I could have sworn she was a mute. This hit a nerve apparantly. She then said back to me, annoyed, about how I was also very quiet when I first came into the school. I said back how I
used to be quiet but now I was able to talk to people without being a nervous wreck. (Which I used go be) She thought I was refering to her and she told me to get out. I laughed. (She wasn't the type of person who I would concider intimidating) I looked at the rest of the group who looked back at me in a serious manner. They knew she meant buisness. I laughed again and asked here if she was serious. She then lashed into me shouting about how 'No-one in the room liked me' and asked me why I came in anyway. I replied boldly. 'Because 'X' invited me in. Thats why.' She quitened down after that. I then left, knowing I got the last word in.
Then I went back to reading my comic. About a hour later my friend (The one who invitred me in) came in to see how I was doing. He then told me how the girl felt bad about shouting at me. I said 'Good. She should learn that sometimes people joke.'
You might think I was a bit harsh but I really don't like people who make mountains out of molehills. It pisses me right off.
So yeah day 2. I kinda went on a bit so I will post the last day tomorrow.
WITH PICS!
I promiseYou want to know the funny thing? I spent three hours typing that out and I still had to double post. You guys need to post moar.
