Two Hot Dawgs

My role model



I never liked roller coasters. My fear was especially heightened when I watched Final Destination 3, which showed a roller coaster going off the track in the first scene. I know the chances of that are so slim, but I feel like it would happen to me. We went on the Thunder Bolt & Wonder Wheel, both of which tested my ability to hold down my lunch. I expected this from the Thunder Bolt, but the Wonder Wheel really caught me off guard. There are two different types of carts you can choose from, one that remains stationary and one that slides. Natalie suggested we get in the non-stationary one, but the moment we started to go up, we realized this was going to be worse than we thought.

As we were trying to snap pictures of each other with the beach in the background, we were jolted against the cold metal cage that surrounded us. Before we could compose ourselves again for another photo, we were again met with whip lash from the Wheel of hell, but this time we were thrown backwards. This is not your average Ferris Wheel despite its cute demeanour.





On this day, my hyperhydrosis was in full affect, especially since the humidity was out of hand. I decided to cool off in these fake palm tree sprinklers. It wasn't until I ran past the lady wearing a medical mask, that I was concerned that my health would be compromised by this, but I couldn't resist letting loose like a kid again.






























Natalie is addicted to taking photos and you must always be camera ready around her. She is always just like pose Stephen, which gives me major anxiety. Luckily for me, "I don't get cute, I get drop dead gorgeous," just like my fellow queen, Alyssa Edwards.



Photo booths are essential to capture moments with friends. Natalie and I squeezed into a Photo booth and when we got out, we were surprised to get a little extra present with our photos. While this provided us with a good laugh, I became pissed since they had fun & silly borders that we missed out on.




My mom has threatened to stop paying for school if I got another tattoo. Therefore, when I was at Coney Island I felt obligated to get an airbrush tattoo just to be slightly rebellious. When I went up to the "artist" I asked for something that was kinda trendy and would fit my aesthetic. He replied, "Man, I got one that really matches your personality." He rummaged through a bunch of stencils and pulled out one that was a panda holding two guns. Naturally I replied, "YASSSSS."



The whole time I was getting this done, I felt the judgement radiating off of Natalie. After the guy finished, I realized that I had to take two trains to get home and that I was going to my internship the next day. He then told me that it would take 3-5 days to completely come off. This is definitely one of those learning moments in life, but still #noragrets about it. 

As the day came to a close, Natalie and I began to crave a hot dog (Thank God for Nathan's wiener). In my opinion, getting a hot dog was truly the finishing touch of a wonderful day with my bestie. Check out Natalie's Blog to read about her perspective on the day!

Sincerely,
Stephen

P.S. Here is the best picture I took when Natalie let me have the camera.


Enjoy!
