No, unless like at certain restaurants, they may give you those cardboard ones, but even then no usually. Are you listening to music right now?

The Worst Day Ever- Simple Plan

Well, some of the pictures are nice. But it is kind of set up weird.

^I read someplace that the front wheels of the cars lift up when it makes a sharp turn.

Did you have much trouble getting to the parks? There's a good chance I'll be staying in Cairo this fall with my brother who will be studying abroad. Maybe I should check these out. -Nick

^They didn't want to take any chances that may delay the opening of the ride (The single bench trains would be prototype), they've already waited such a long time for it. -Nick

Walk Away- Kelly Clarkson

^^^^In your first two pictures you look very much like Heath Ledger.

^It catches people's attention and gets them to see that there are actually people that care about gay rights, seeing as most people don't seem to bother thinking about them.

Nope, three older brothers. Do you like thunderstorms?

I mixed up some Mexicany chowder stuff today. It was good.

Nope, don't know how. Do you talk on the phone more than an hour a day?

24 days 'till the Ravine Flyer II film shoot! I'm really looking forward to this year's coaster season. And what an awesome way to start it so early! I'll be missing a day of school to ride an awesome new ride! Last year, I think I only went to Darien Lake once. All old credits. This year, Ravine Flyer II, Motocoaster at Darien Lake, the whole East Coast Trip, and maybe a few more parks! And I'm happy with school right now. I'm doing a lot better this marking period, and I'm not in the middle of any huge projects or anything. We are grinding down to exams and SAT/ACT though. Oh well, almost summer! -Nick

I can't wait for the film shoot! Here's some more pictures, I'm sure by now both trains are on the tracks. I'm unsure as to whether testing has already begun or has yet to start. Anyone know more? http://picasaweb.google.com/Waldameer/RavineFlyerIIRollerCoaster All photos by Steve Gorman Thanks Robb

^He was just editing a picture as to what he feels Hershey needs. First the drop tower, then edited in a hyper, saying they should get one of those too.

In my dream last night, I was playing guitar on stage with Nancy Sinatra who was singing "Bang Bang". It was weird, because it was like a guitar hero guitar (I've never played an actual guitar), but it had the strings on it and I pretty much had to learn the pattern to the song while doing the show. I messed up a few times but it was never a big deal. And further back on the stage there was a table with a bunch of clay pots and things that Bill Cosby made.

Buttons- The Pussy Cat Dolls.

I met Spiderman in New York City a few weeks ago. I asked to get my picture with him but he said it was ten dollars. Further more, he had the voice of a black man. No Peter Parker in there.

We do this every once in a while in our school. Our SADD club (Students Against Destructive Decisions). And as for Day of Silence, I did it today. We had a meeting two days ago for whoever wanted to, there were only maybe 50 of us. We got stickers and our names on a list so teachers can't get mad when we don't talk to them. It was really hard, but not absolutely horrible. What was harder was, in my American history class, we went over the whole idea of gays. I didn't have much to worry about teacherwise, I'm very close with this teacher and talk to him about everything. So he knows about me being gay, and I've taught him a lot about gays over the year. He would question kids in the class and have them give opinions, and put them in hypothetical situations to see how they'd react to different things. There were times I wanted to jump in, I had written in my notebook and showed him me asking if he'd agree that it's alright to break the silence if it's promoting the cause. He just said if I feel inclined to, and although there were times I wanted to jump in, they just weren't direct enough to make me want to talk. After school, I heard others who were silenced's accounts of things they'd seen and heard, from expected disrespect to a kid having on his bag "Gay people shouldn't talk anyway". Still a long way to go. -Nick

^Well, it was a dream...

If I had come across Predator at some random point in my life, I would probably hate it. The last I rode it it was incredibly painful. What keeps me riding it at least once a year though, is the fact that it was my first big coaster, so I still have some love for it. Otherwise it's pretty much horrible. -Nick

^I would guess no. Does anyone have any idea when they expect to begin testing?

Yes. I love soup! Are you tired?

I'm pretty sure I remember reading it as 138 feet, the tallest loop in the world.

Say It Right- Nelly Furtado
