Maturity

Its been a really long time since I have been to any amusement park. Also known as theme parks. I wonder why. The only theme I can associate with it is FUN, which is really a good enough theme, but still. Ok, I'm getting distracted. As I was saying, I think one of the greatest joys in life is to be able to sit on a high, fast ride and have the time of your life. Once I get on that ride (my personal favourites being the hoop de loop, the roller coaster and the scarier versions of the flying saucer). I also love scary rides. They scare the crap out of me and I love them! For those hundred and twenty odd seconds I can leave everything behind and go into a world of my own, and I mean every single thing. My troubles fade, my mind blanks out and I'm in a world of my own where time stands still. I believe no matter how mature and grown up people think they have become, you can always bring out the child in them in an amusement park. I dont claim to be either mature or grown up, so I like to think I get maximum benefit out of such places. And when I feel even the slightest bit..ummm...adulterated, I just look at my facebook 'How mature are you?' quiz result. It says I have the maturity of a 5-year-old. I'm too embarrassed to publish it, but I still get plenty of joy out of it.
