To rip off take inspiration from Indexed:
Fabulous day today at Great America with eyeearnjay. We have, between the two of us, been meaning to go there for 29 years. No, I was not jonesing for roller coasters while still in the womb1. Most of the years are his. Still, we both can count the years as "ever since I moved to the Bay Area."
Passed right by the Yahoo! buildings on the way. I tried to blow traumentwerfer a kiss, but he wasn't at work yet. I did give the complex a hearty one-finger salute for euneeblic. Immediately afterward, I realized some other driver might have thought it was intended for them. Oops.
The park was empty and awesome. Kids are in school, grownups are working, and J and I get to play. One time we waited in line for about 4 minutes, but that was just so we could get the front seat. Most times there was no waiting. Walking through all those empty switchbacks meant to hold hundreds was awesome in a kind of creepy post-apocalyptic way. Seriously, if some bizarre new superbug wipes out 99.9% of the population, you will find me at an amusment park, where I will remain until the fuel runs out. Yes, of course I will be in the remaining .1%. I am invincible!
So we rode everything. Then we rode the good ones again. Then we rode the best ones yet again. Then eyeearnjay puked, but it was OK because the pizza wasn't any good to begin with and it was closing time anyway. Now we are both covered in sunburn and full of happy.
1: Actually, I probably was. The mean old doctors won't let fetuses go on any of the fun rides.
