no sooner did i make the pact

... we totally went shopping this weekend. while i kept it way under what i would normally when going to marshall's and kohl's, i still shopped. i kept it under wraps at target. but kohl's broke me down!

i had a nice outfit for saturday night's viewing of another gay sequel: gays gone wild, but it was an expensive one!!

so i made a pact with db2 this morning. together we will not spend. we will do this!

another gay sequel - we laughed, we were grossed out, but it was mostly just nice to see my gay homies and hang. some of them insist that i must see the first part in this series that it is much funnier. it can't be much grosser. butt plugs and puke. mm.

moving right along. the water park. well, it was fun. i do have a hilarious picture of me on a ride called "the edge," but db2 and i were both struck by how many areas of the park smelled of urine. straight up. the rides were fun, but i felt sick every time the wind would blow while waiting in line. i have a feeling they don't take care of the water there like they should. it was also pretty chilly at 79/80 degrees, and the water was even chillier! i don't think we'll be back at wet n wild. next time we'll buck up and head for myrtle waves. although, it might be just as gross. it has been many years since i've been there!

schlitterbahn spoiled me. db2 insists we must try the one in new braunfels and we must also go tubing. we shall see. we. shall. see.

oh. there was also a black tube that we went down, we raced each other (see picture in post below). i was informed that it "didn't hurt at all" and was a lot of fun. it was great until about half way down i somehow ended up flipped over and face down. i almost drowned, and it was pretty painful. i don't think i'll ride that one again. all in all, the dragon ride was my favorite. we rode that one twice, and i'd ride it again fer sure. especially if the water didn't smell like piss. :)

water park!


so the water slides i like to ride are big and bad ass. i like to have the crap scared out of me. i've never seen one like this one to the left, and it looks pretty bad ass. check out that pool at the bottom. i'm thinking it has to be a photoshop.

...

we went to a place called schlitterbahn in galveston while we were visiting db2's family over the weekend in texas. they have the bomb lazy river ... because you can veer off in your inner tube and be in the not-so-lazy river that is known as "torrent river."

they ain't lyin. it can be a bumpy ride. db2's sister swore up and down that she almost drowned after tipping off her tube. needless to say, the rest of us had a wild time.

this weekend we're off to wet 'n wild emerald pointe. while at schlitterbahn, we rode something that looks like this. this is the slide that is also at emerald pointe in greensboro. this is the slide that made me exclaim, "OH MY GOD I DIDN'T KNOW SO MUCH WATER COULD GO THERE!" and also almost ripped off my future sister-in-law's bikini top. i'm totally stoked.

this picture just does not do this slide justice. it does not show you just how high up it is. and you don't realize it until you're peering over the side and the lifeguard shoves you.

you're screaming, there's water going places it shouldn't, and then you're done. you get up, and water is coming out of you for much longer than you think is female-y possible. but you want to do it again.

and that's why we're going to the water park again this weekend.
