I am that lady over there

Look at that lady over there...

I count the rotations slowly, "one, two, three, four, five," My stomach starts to clench, "six" I feel the hot warm liquid rising to my throat. I quickly place my hand over my mouth. I am hanging upside down. I feel the vomit fill my mouth, I am wondering "will I have to swallow this?" The vomit keeps coming filling my hand. The car pauses as it changes directions and I fling the vile mess out into space.

A pretty teenager is sitting across from Bill. She is smiling and excited. As the ride begins, she is chattering happily, Bill notices her eyes get big and thinks, "Ha ha, she is scared." Bill looks at the stars and is having a great time whirling and flying upside down.

He hears someone say, "look at that lady over there, she is throwing up."

Bill thinks to himself, "Oh no, I hope it isn't Hofy."

As I sit next to Bill, I am linking eyes with the horrified teenager, I think, "It is over, the worst has past." The car pauses and changes directions, I can no longer control my bodily reactions and I throw up all over myself. I watch the vomit flying through the air in misery.

Bill finally turns to me, his beloved, and sees the truth, "Oh, I am so sorry"

The ride comes to a halt, the teenager vanishes. I sit in my seat stunned and dirty. The carnival men come along, "Get the bucket, its the same seat again."

As I leave the ride, I see a crowd of gawkers and someone shouts, "THERE'S THE LADY THAT THREW UP."

Did you mail my turntable yet? If you didn't could you see how much it would cost to mail my laser disc player and I'll send you money if it's less then 20$ extra. I spent 70$ on records the other day so I hope you are mailing it soon. Did you ask the icelanders about "Sigur Ros"?

Only my brother would put a "to do list" on my blog.
