Forgot something...
I was talking with Riri about our trip and had a hard time deciding on what was the best part of the different places we went too. We never came up with the best but we did come up with the best in certain categories. Since I've already talked about Universal Studios I'll let you know what we decided was the FUNNIEST part of the trip and it's something I forgot to mention in the last post.
Ironically enough it was also the "scariest" part of the trip too (besides the monsoon thing).
It was the haunted house. They took all of their scary movies, mostly Van Hellsing (which I haven't seen) and put them in a freaky looking house. There were things jumping out at us. Every dark corner had something scary lurking in it, with it's evil eyes watching, waiting. Whether there were actually people there or not sometimes we didn't know. They did such a great job in making this place scary that you THOUGHT there was something there even if there wasn't.
We were running away from anything that jumped out to grab us. The poor guy who was going through with us (someone we didn't know but happen to go through at the same time) didn't know if he should stay away, protect, or just laugh at us. We were nearing the end. We knew it was going to be the last room.
The last room is always the scariest room. It's the one with the freakiest creature who has the scariest roar (never a scream always a roar they are scarier), and there is always a strobe light. Why is there always a strobe light? Because it disorients you. And why do they want to disorient you?
BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU STUPID SILLY TO GET OUT OF THERE WHEN THE SCARY MONSTER COMES AFTER YOU THAT'S WHY!!!
So here we are facing the doorway to the last room. It's also the doorway to the room before we reach sunlight. Which means we'll be back in the world where things a normal and not scary. My left hand is pushing aside the strips of ragged cloth covering the doorway and my right hand is being held tightly by Riri who is frantically shaking her head at me insistent that she IS NOT going through that doorway. Well I decided we would have non of that and I pulled her through.
And I regretted it.
We are running and I'm trying to push Riri past me and I'm thinking we might actually get through this without the scary monster.
That is until a HUGE fury dark creature jumps in front of the strobe light (always in front which only causes you to be even MORE disoriented) and Riri is screaming.
I am too of course but that's not important. What is important is I lost my sandal. That is very important because this means I have to GO BACK to get it.
Now please understand the situation we were in. In reality the big fury creature is really a man in a costume. There was a lady standing there as a guide to help poor helpless people through and is probably CPR certified in case someone has a heart attack or in other events loses their sandal. But I was immersed in the fun of it all and was too terrified to realize what the reality was. All I saw was a big fury creature infront of a strobe light that made him even scarier and my sandal was inches away from me and I was terrified to go and get it like a normal person. You know someone who knows that the big scary fury creature isn't real and knows the strobe light is nothing more then a fast blinking light.
No I had to be as low to the ground as I could be, on the balls of my feet mind you not laying down, reaching as far as my arm would go without actually having to get any closer to the big fury dude. I'm reaching out, hold back, reaching out and holding back as if my hand would be torn off if I even think about grabbing my sandal.
In the back of my mind I saw the helper who knows CPR trying to get my sandal for me and I'm sure she just wants to fall down with laughter at me. But I think the sick part is I was actually enjoying the stupid silly scaredness I was in. Go figure
I finally snatched my sandel which is different from grabbing or retrieving? Why is it different? Because a snatch is quick and usually followed by a fast arm flailing run away from whatever is behind you.
Which is what I did.
And that my friends is one of the funniests things we did at an amusement park. The other funny part is later on in the week.
