well, yesturday we went to Six Flags Astroworld for the graduation trip. now, i fancy myself as a coward when it comes to roller coasters. but with the help of peer pressure i have conquered my fears and did all the scary rides, and, ENJOYED THEM!!
this was the most fufilling (sp...) expierence of the year.
anyone else had to conquer their fears ever?
Ps- those pictures are: 1-2= Serial Thriller! the scariest ride there and 3= SWAT. imagine a fly swatter just gowing around and around. it was SO fun

Yes.
Last year my company gave me a great present. A vacation to a tropical paradise but our plane was late and we missed our small plane connection.
The whole group was bumped and the airline in Puerto Rico said they could do nothing and we would all have to spend the night in the airport.
Well one of the outraged on our plane called AMERICAN EXPRESS and he got us a plane a tiny little 10 seat plane. We all had to chip in 300 each to fly to the island. Well I was not spending the night in the airport.
I was the co piliot he asked me to do a few things when we started the plane and then it flew itself.
I WAS TERRIFIED. It was a tiny plane with a putt putt engine.
I conquered my fear of tiny planes. 
It was such views. But it rained and the plane was so small you could feel every cloud we went through. I was scared but we made it!

Wow, how many FAA violations are we looking at there?
"...he asked me to do a few things..." : snicker snicker:
Or is this just another chapter in the "Perils of Corine" and...what ever happened with the iguana?

I didn't fly the plane. You guys are nuts.
I sat in the co pilot seat because I was the smallest.
But he asked me to do a few things before we took off.
I was not scared until we very very high up.
It was a rinky dink plane and you felt every bump.
When it started raining I thought it was the end.
It was a very bumpy ride.
Yes, the Iguanas were on the island. Laugh all you want.
I was the only person that he would come close too.
It was cool.

"But he asked me to do a few things before we took off."
Touching a pilot's instruments can explain the bumpy ride.

"asked me to do a few things"
Such as:
1. Put your seatbelt on
2. don't talk to the pilot when the cabin door is closed
3. please do not smoke
4. please put your purse under the seat in front of you
I can see him asking her to do some "things" before takeoff...

Namo,
That made me laugh. I hate that you are that funny.
LOL.
I did not have my Avenue Q cd when I was on that trip.
I did sing that at Marie's Crises a few times.
What a blast!
