&Emma's Trip to Dorney Park and Paige's Sweet 16
I slept at around 2AM the previous night (or should it be earlier that morning?) trying to make Paige's Birthday Card, oh and I talked to Lyanne, too. I was typo'ing so bad the entire night - iPond Fourd. I think by the end of it, we were just high off being tired. My dad woke me up at around 6:20AM or so to get ready, even though I was essentially ready 'cus my bags were packed. Heading out, it was kind of cloudy and misty outside; I arrived promptly at Emma's at around 7:50, give or take. I heard them all talking even before I rang the doorbell - I didn't know if I was supposed to ring the doorbell so I decided to call, but then Reylyn and people opened the door :D We lingered around the room until they called for breakfast which I didn't eat much 'cus I already ate at home. Sharon came down super late. Eventually, people began arriving and crowded the front room (Guest List was: A couple of Emma's friends, Emma, Meredith, Sharon, Melodie, Amy, Reylyn, Jinny, David, Ira, Neriel, Jimmy, Chi Chiu, Andrew, Clifford, Wilson, Eman, Patrick, Lyanne, Wallace, Karen, Gary, Keith (sorry if I missed someone!). Emma's house is constructed so cool-like. LOL. Just saying! The first floor is like a big circle since it's all connected.
We were just sitting around while everyone was making last minute preparations. Someone threw this panda figure, I think it was David and I caught it. I felt so proud. :D Oh, and Emma opened some of her gifts. On the bus, I sat near the back originally, and then Jinny asked to sit next to me, but then I asked Meredith earlier on LOL, so I moved to let her have the seat. I dunno where Meredith was but she came on the bus pretty late >:l Lucky we managed to get a seat near Sharon, Amy, and Neriel so we weren't completely isolated. While driving there, I felt like my brain wanted to give up. LOL. So while Meredith went off to play Mafia in the back I slept. It was so good, too cus the seats were comfy.
Upon arriving, Emma's mom distributed the meal vouchers and tickets, she was still short about four though. While the majority of the party walked into Dorney Park (even though we told them to wait >_>), Lyanne, Emma, Jinny, Meredith, Karen, and I waited for more tickets. We went to the Water Park area first, the first rides few were fun, most of them were just a bunch of slide-type things (go figure). The group of us eventually met up at the Wave pool.
Climbing out, we went on more rides and while most of them finished off at the wave pool again, we decided to dry up and go change. Meredith, Jinny took so long in changing. T_T I was the first one out. LOL. Maybe I'm just more experienced 'cus I'm used to changing after swim.
At this point, we were starving - and we waited for others so much D: Gradually, we found some area where we could redeem our food vouchers and ate. I had chicken strips with fries. At the table, I sat next to David, Emma, Reylyn, Melodie was further down, Amy, and I think Emma's friend. We were discussing Rugrats and how tumblr isn't a reliable source of information, thus making Reylyn largely unreliable and misinformed. We were finishing up with eating when David wanted to try out one of the claw machines. He actually caught one of the Angry Birds figurines when all of a sudden the claw just opened up and dropped it. T_T What a scammmm. Some pictures, then a group division once more since not everyone wanted to go on the big roller coasters. Our new party was: Meredith, Sharon, Amy, Wallace, and occasionally Ira, Keith, Jinny, and Emma.
Our end goal was the ferris wheel which took us forever to find. T_T Along the way, we rode the carousel twice in a row. Ahaha, we're so cool! //Amy had the only camera with her. LOL.
I don't really remember the order of rides after this, but I'm pretty sure the Bavarian Wire- something. Meredith was initially afraid to go on, but after some hardcore persuading she came with me~ And afterwards she admitted to liking it.
We rode a bunch of kiddie rides after. ON ONE OF THEM - some wild mouse shit, they said I wasn't allowed on without an adult because I was a child. LOL. WHATTTTTT. I wasn't going to go on by myself anyways, but still! I was the oldest one there! Smh.
Okay, now I'm just going to speed through the rest. We went on a bunch of spinny rides. Meredith and I totally owned at the teacup ride, then the four of us went on Tilt-A-Whirl, followed by this ride where everyone got crushed to the side. LOL. Eventually, we found the ferris wheel. Got on that, and on the first round, we stopped right at the top, and when the gondola thing started rocking I got mad nervous. LOL.
Then we just took mad photos and met up with everyone near the front entrance. More waiting...on the bus Meredith and I tried to camwhore. IT DID NOT WORK. We were just ugly that day I guess. Behind us, Amy and Sharon tried, too. They weren't very successful either. It's the bus! It's the bus! Eventually, Meredith went to the back to play Mafia again while I talked to Neriel, Sharon, and Amy. We went from topics like, the future to Big Bang. Reylyn heard me call TOPTOPTOP! from all the way in the back. LOL! The weather was so perfect, too! It was cloudy and rainy, making the bus feel very cozy. When we arriving, it was like 8:17, which was around the same time people were arriving to Emma's house in the morning, plus the weather was the same so it was like time hadn't moved at all. It was a good bus ride home!
Sharon's parents were already there when we got off so we only had time to grab our stuff and say good bye. My bag was so heavy, lolzomg. While driving to Sharon's house, it was literally almost like the middle of nowhere in a really peaceful way since there were trees everywhere and the cloudy skies were still around.
I got to Sharon's house and I showered first, changed quickly. Then Sharon went. In general, we got ready pretty fast. At the Hall where Paige's s16 was, it was super awkward - we were about an hour and fifteen minutes late. I saw so many people that I was surprised to see. We lost our seats at our designated table so we had to relocated to this purely adult table. AWKWARDDDD. It's okay though because we had each other. The entire party a bunch of these weird guys kept asking us to dance. They were all really short and young looking. We didn't want to dance though (but we did go up a couple of times) - the dancefloor looked so awkward since it was so diverse that it got kind of hard to mingle. We just ended up playing Two Truths and a Lie, and when Nick Sanso, Zara, and Marianna came over, we played Never Have I Ever. I ended up winning!
Eventually, Paige's Candle-Lighting thing took up the majority of the time and we just watched and continued our game of two truths. Even though we seemed so close, we actually didn't really know much about each other since we just officially started talking around five months ago. Ate some ice cream, and my dad arrived just on time.
I went home, changed, and laid in my bed playing 999. Then I slept really well. I kept getting that feeling where I was going down on a rollercoaster though, or like whooshing around in my head. Ahaha, it was such a good day though.
