Went on a weekend trip to visit a family friend. She talked me into going on a scary amusement park ride with her... "Come on, do this with me; we can both face our fears, my fear of being closed in and your fear of heights". The kind of ride where you get into a cage-like thing that is lifted up high and spun around so that you go upside down. She handled her fright by yelling out things such as, "Jesus, you're my man!" I handled mine by keeping my eyes shut and trying to breathe deeply. But it wasn't really all that bad... after it was over, and I was safely back on the ground, anyways. And I did even open my eyes a few times during it.
I also went on the carousel-swing thing twice - I usually like this ride, even though it challenges my fear of heights too. The first time I went on it, there was a cool-looking guy in the seat/swing next to me, and he said "Hey, man!" to me, which made me feel good and made me wonder if he recognized me as a female or not. I wonder if I look cowardly when I shut my eyes during rides like that.... I don't see other people shutting their eyes. Of course, I wouldn't, would I? Or maybe I just look frightened. Or maybe I look bored, or asleep.
In the evening, we went to a Zapp concert. By mistake, actually, but it was quite good. Parts of it, at least. I didn't enjoy some of the slower songs, and the religious preacherly part. But they performed very well, including their dancing. Apparently their band has a troubled past.
My mom and I also visited a couple who had a pig, an Irish wolfhound, a Great Dane, and koi. Oh, and a big fluffy cat.
