Amusement

There's something both incredibly sweet and numbingly herd-like about standing in line waiting to go on a ride. If it's crowded and hot, it is a true test of spirit and a time when you might even make the mistake of trying to evaluate your life. You are part of a whole group of people trying to have fun. It feels strange. Sometimes if you go on a ride and it's amazing, you want to do it right away again. But it's never the same.

I remember going on a ride like this with two of my sisters and Morgan except in my memory it was a zigzag vertical drop of about two hundred feet and the tube we were in did not have seats like this and we spun and descended like we were being flushed down an airport toilet. We all laughed so hard that no sound came out.
