Picture tag

Crystal tagged me so here goes. I really don't have a pictures folder on my computer with pictures I take from a camera (I have an art folder with some of my favorite artwork I find on the internet and some of my own). I am lacking in the camera department. So I found a couple folders of pictures I have and chose the forth from those.
The rules: forth folder, forth picture.
I have 2 folders so you get two pictures because I couldn't decide which was better.
Picture #1:This is me at Disneyland a few years ago. Notice the leg brace. Notice the ride I am pointing to. I fell off Snow White. And if any of you have been to Disneyland it is pretty hard to imagine Snow White as being a dangerous ride. Here is the story. It was close to midnight we wanted to get more rides in and the park was going to close so when it finished we got up to run off the ride as fast as we could. I was on the far right of the ride, Tyson next to me and Heather close to the exit. They both got off and I tried to slide over but found it faster to just walk sideways. I pushed off with the handlebar to help balance myself as I got ready to step out and my leg hyper extended because the bar wasn't locked into place. It hyper extended inwards, so my knee on my left leg was going toward my knee on my right leg. If you can imagine. It didn't hurt at first, it was really hot and I felt sick to my stomach. The lady controlling the ride had a horrified face, stopped the ride and made all the little kids get off in the middle. I felt horrible. We got to do a behind the scenes ride to the hospital area to check it out. I had to ride in a wheel chair the whole next day (so not fun) and I got a brace for the rest of the vacation (I think this happened on the first or second day). It felt like my leg wanted to slide back out again when I walked without the brace. I only had to wear it for a couple weeks.

Picture #2:



This is from Holly's cell phone when we were in Lagoon this last summer with the cousins. Adam doesn't look to happy here. We really did have a fun time. We were soaking wet from the log ride. I was behind Spencer and he kept telling me to just breath. I hate rides that drop. I avoid them. He was too funny he was telling me to calm down haha. I must have been hyperventilating :p. You can see Spencer and Malissa in the background.

And there you have it. I think everyone else was already tagged. But if you haven't done it yet you should. It was fun.

Of concerts and noise

Hey!

This is super late … I know I said I would get better. Sorry.

Anyway,

Tyson and I went to a concert January 31^st and it was pretty cool. I didn’t know a whole lot of the lyrics so I couldn’t scream along. It was really loud. I didn’t get my hearing back until Monday afternoonish. Ty and I went to church Sunday and tried to be quiet, but we couldn’t really tell. I am sure we were scream/whispering to each other. Poor teachers. The base was so loud my pant legs shook. I could feel it in my chest the whole 5 hours, and I suspect it isn’t good for your heart. I didn’t have a camera but Tyson did, so you get a couple pictures from him.

We listened to three bands before the main event. The first was Mury. I felt bad for them, they sounded good, but because they were the first band out there they had to tell the microphone people and the base people how to change things all the time. Setting it up for the next group. The second group was called Between the Trees. They were awesome! I would buy a cd from them. The third band was called Madina Lake. They were more screamo than anything.

Then came Anberlin.

Pictures:

This is The Icon, where the concert was being held. No it wasn't in the bar, it was next door. :p As you can see there was not a short supply of Emo kids.

This is the main singer from Between the Trees. There aren't a whole lot of clear pictures since the room was dark and Ty took them over his head (it was really crowded) so you only get to see them. No Mury or Madina Lake, sorry.

This is the main singer for Anberlin. He was really excited for the concert, he kept swinging out over the crowd hanging by the rafters.

Ty asked me to get ready for a picture. It was black in there and the flash hurt so I got ready, but as a result it looks like I was the old fogie at the concert. Haha. I can see me thinking "Kids these days listen to nothing but noise." I really did have fun, I just don't like bright lights ^_^.

Here is a sample of my favorite song by Anberlin:

Paper Thin Hymn

Enjoy.
