The closest I've come to a helicopter ride was on the big island of Hawaii where zippy copters fly over the volcano. Who can resist hovering above a volcano?
Me.
I don't much like flying in airplanes either, but my desire to be in foreign places is stronger than my fear. Just barely.
If I'm on a roller coaster, it's a suicide attempt. The same with bungee jumping or rappelling down a mountain.
Should I go to therapy and get over my fear of helicopters and roller coasters?
Never.
But if I did ride in a helicopter, it would be a red one!
Not only are you the best writing teacher I've ever had (out of all two), but I can always count on your blog to make me laugh or smile, or both.
ReplyDeleteI hate roller coasters, too, and I'm never going to bungee jump. I'll not go to therapy about that with you.
Also, I love the new 'do.
I will never, ever, never forget the roller coaster ride we went on together. Never. And I will never voluntarily ride on a helicopter either. There is nothing wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteThere is a three-story rock wall at my gym. I made it up about a third of the way. It took me about ten minutes to get myself to hop off the ledge and go back down, safety rope notwithstanding.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good goal to never ride on a helicopter. I'd be terrified too. But a roller coaster? Really? What about a tame one like Thunder Mountain?
ReplyDeleteI HATE roller coasters. They are just another name for Death Traps. Haven't considered helicopters, but probably in the same category.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is if I meet you at Disneyland or any version of an amusement park, I am more than happy to add your coat, drink, purse, etc. to my family's pile of treasures I am guarding while they tempt fate. I am honest and you can trust me.
