Rollercoasters == fun. Spinny rides == cookie tossing.

I have also never had a good time on the bumper cars. Like REALLY bad times on them.

Like when your car won't go because the steering wheel is turned the wrong way or cars have you pinned somewhere and then someone just keeps ramming into you over and over?

TO INFINITY.

I'm with Gudanov, spinny rides make me nauseous. I even turn green on relatively speedy ferris wheels. Roller coasters are loads of fun though!

Yes, Reza is very common in Farsi. On top of that, I was born on the eve of Imam Reza (a descendant of Mohammad), so even if my parents had a different boy name chosen, it wouldn't have mattered.

As a side note, when I was 7 or 8 and visiting Iran, I got to go to the Mosque of Imam Reza. It is supposed to be good luck for a boy to touch the shrine but sacrilege for a girl. My family had dressed me as a boy, so I wouldn't have to worry about a chador . Other worshipers saw me and body surfed me to the front so I could have the honor of touching the shrine.

Here’s The Official Catalogue Of Sins, From The Family Research Council

These are some sins politicians commit:

Usurpation of parents’ authority by indoctrinating children into sexual promiscuity, pantheism (worship of the environment), polytheism (multiculturalism), atheistic humanism, liberal politics, socialism & statism under the guise of public “education” while failing to teach fundamental academics or simple truths of right & wrong

Thievery of family wealth via confiscatory estate and inheritance taxes

Thievery from future generations through wicked borrowing, deficit spending & amassing unconscionable public debt

Gave me driving anxiety that lasted until learner's lessons.

I'm pretty sure it was Lori in the car with me, not on bumper cars, just on the driving-on-a-track thing -- the car is on a track, all it can do it go where it's supposed to! -- where I was totally stressed out.

Which reminds me, I think I'm going to need to learn to drive again for this job. At least, I said something about not having a car, and she was like, Well, you can just rent one if you need to get somewhere, right? Um, sure?

Any ride that makes me feel like I'm tipping or falling = Not Fun. So no Ferris wheels, and no roller coasters. NoiseDesign got me to go on Space Mountain, and while it wasn't as ohmygodI'mgoingtoDIE terrifying as I thought, I'm in no hurry to ever go back on it. And obviously, the Tower of Terror is RIGHT OUT.

But I love the teacups. LOVE.

Dude. That is the best story ever. I love this story and want to have its babies.

Yeah, that's fantastic.
