I heard if you get tagged twice, it means you're super loved!

But to respond:

*I didn't know you were afraid of rollercoasters! Aww, hon. Firstly, if you're going to break yourself in slowly, first do wooden ones. Don't sit in the front or back. Then work your way up slowly to one that maybe only goes upside down once, and don't sit in the front or back. I actually love rollercoasters, but you'd be surprised: very few people I know do.

*You've never seen The Used? Oh, we need to go! I've seen them twice and they are amazing. Very energetic. Sort of like New Found Glory, in that, the whole crowd gets super into it and you lose all track of what time it is and how long they've been playing.

*I'm a worrier too. And the best advice I can give you is that old saying....I think it might even be a Biblical saying. It goes: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change those that I might, and the knowledge to know the difference." That's a loose quote cause I don't have it 100% memorized. Anyhow, I see a counselor and she xeroxed that quote for me and I carry it inside my wallet at all times. I know it sounds dorky and :dork:, but when I'm worrying and stressing....I take that paper out and I read that quote and it helps. Because so much of what we worry about in life, we have absolutely no control to change. And it's important to remind yourself that you're only raising your blood pressure by sweating it.

*I think the computer is one of those things where the more you try to stay away, the more you're drawn to it. If you make other plans that will prevent you from having the time to be online, that helps. Like meeting friends for dins or lunch, renting movies, etc.

Man, I sound like a deranged guidance counselor.

Shutting up now . . . .

haha you don't sound like a deranged guidance counselor, don't worry!

Oh I'm petrified of rollercoasters! Mainly because the first "big" one I went on was the damn Batman one at Six Flags. My friend didn't even break me in with small ones, it was just "BAM" let's do it! lmao I had no voice from screaming on that thing! I think the next time I go to Canobie Lake Park I'll try the wooden one and then if that goes okay, the bigger ones!

I don't know why I've never seen them, but yeah we definitely have to go! lol they seem like they put on an awesome live show.

Aww that is a really good quote. I can see why that helps! I might have to start carrying it with me, too!

Oh good!

OMG You started out with Batman? Eee. That one is rough so, hon, if you can do that you should be able to do nearly anything! The only thing I would suggest you stay away from at least until you get more used to coasters is anything that shoots you through the ride backwards. Like a lot of the coasters now a days go forward and then head up a hill, and then you get dropped back through the ride backwards. Stay away from that until you're comfortable with something like Batman.

I looked it up and the legit quote is from the Bible and it is:

"God grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And wisdom to know the difference."

haha yep Batman was the first big one I ever did! Everyone tells me "well that's why you don't like rollercoasters!" lol but I'm proud of myself! My friend Carissa and I went up to Canobie Lake Park this past weekend with her Mom and after we rode just about every ride there, her Mom and I decided we'd try the Corkscrew because Carissa was trying to talk us into it. We were screaming like idiots, but it ended up being fun. We went on it a second time before we left. It goes upside down twice, so I felt like I accomplished something! lol

And thank you for the quote - I want to make a little card or something and stick it in my wallet, cause that's such a good idea that you had carrying it with you!

But hon, if you did Batman and the corkscrew....it doesn't really get much worse. Like I said, avoid the things that go backwards for a while, but you had a definite trial by fire and you PASSED! YOU GO GIRL!

I find it somewhat helpful to carry it. Not that I pull it out and read it often- cause I've memorized it- but it's just one of those things that's helpful to think about when you're getting worked up over dumb shit. You can't change it, so just let it be!
