Universal / Islands of Adventure

Over Spring break I spent a day at Universal and Islands of Adventure theme parks. At Islands of Adventure my inner kid was sparked and I went wild with my friends. We, or at least I, didn't care what anyone thought about us and we just did our thing. We rode the most kiddy ride and had a ball. Words cannot express how fun some of our experiences were. Having this much fun I thought about my friends back here in Hawaii and how different they are. They are not down for anything and are not at all like me. Or maybe it isn’t them who are different, maybe it's me. On the trip I was myself around everybody possibly because I only see them once a year and what they think doesn’t really matter because nobody will remember in a year. Anyway, while at Islands of Adventure my friend got all mad and rustled because someone said he looked gay when he takes pictures. This is a true statement but it wasn't intended to call him gay. He blew it way out of proportion and acted like a butt for an hour. Me being my always happy and cheerful self went over to him and explained things to him. He finally cheered up and I was glad I could use my talent of always being in a good mood to help someone.

Universal Studios was a whole different experience. I hung out with my mom for a little while and it felt like one of those commercials for Disney Land where the parent turns into a kid and they play with their child all day long. The rides are so technical but it's cool. When I rode the roller coasters I got a feeling of excitement and terror at the same time. As soon as the coaster starts to drop you feel this wave of air filled with anxiety and fear but yet curiosity and joy. It's truly unexplainable. Afterwards you have this feeling of completion, satisfaction, and pride that you just did the coolest thing on the planet. You realize the two hour wait in line was worth it.
