I wasn't one of the cool kids apparently...

I don't really like amusement parks. I've never really wanted to go to Disney World or Land. When I was little, perhaps I thought about it once or twice, but I'm not much of one for rides in the first place (apparently it's a utopian wish to "go to a place where you always feel good"....liars. They haven't heard of those people who lose their lunches on rides. Actually, I've never lost mine...). I don't know if it's the rides that does it in for me, or the crazy over-priced everything, or the fact that there are too many people flying around like a shaken up etch-a-sketch that I lose a little bit of my sanity, but it just doesn't appeal to me. However, there's something about the whole theme park thing that makes me wish I enjoyed it. Seeing the excitement on everyone's faces when arriving, just completely enjoying being scared out of their minds on the rides...
I'm just weird, perhaps, to never have had the interest in going. I think it would have been a neat experience to do as a child. Seeing all your favorite Disney characters "come to life", doing something that every kid wants to do (you don't want to be the only one who hasn't gone to one of the Disney places). But then that's the thing. Sometimes I'm glad I never went because most of the reasons I would have wanted to go were because every other kid had gone. Sometimes I like breaking the trend... However, maybe I'd enjoy it even if I didn't do all the rides...but that's kind of part of all the excitement of the places, isn't it? Maybe one of these days I'll get around to going. Maybe I'm just a party pooper...
