aznearthdragon, my brother, and I went to Belmont Park! XD If you don't know, Belmont Park is this amusement park next to Mission Beach in San Diego. aznearthdragon had some 50% off coupons for the unlimited rides wristbands, so of course we decided we had to go. XP Anyway, Belmont Park is home of the Big Dipper, which is a historic landmark because it is one of the oldest and still operating seaside rollercoasters. It opened on July 4, 1925 and built by some guy with the last name Church and took him four weeks and cost $50,000. (Why yes, I did read the information plaque while we were stuck in line!) Basically all I want to say is that old rollercoasters = loud clanking sound in the beginning as it brings you up. (Yeah, I am not really good with rollercoasters, LOL. I go on, but I am unable to open my eyes to look and I hold onto the safety bar with a deathgrip. XP) On the other hand, because it is next to the beach, awesome view of the water (as it is going up in the beginning, when I feel safe enough to still keep my eyes open, LOLOL).
Anyway, second ride we went on was Chaos, which is this ride that spins around and your little cart thing rocks back and forth as well. Needless to say that I couldn't look as well, HAHA. It was, however, not as horrible as I was expecting. I think this is mainly due to the fact that the thing that scares me the most about rides is that horrible feeling when it drops down (like rollercoaster drops or rides that do that plunge thing!) -- WORST FEELING EVER! But yeah,aznearthdragon and I were in the same little cart thingy and right before the ride started, this butterfly decides to land on our safety bar. Then it preceded to stay there the whole entire ride! (Normally I would not know this because, as I said, could not look, but aznearthdragon kept a running commentary consisting of, "It's still there! Helen, it's still there! It's still there! OMG, Helen, it's still there!" XP)
The worst ride was the third one we went on, which I cannot even remember the name of, but it swing back and forth and turned and here is a picture I took on my phone of the ride in action. Yeah, it pretty much as the worst thing ever, I don't know. Too many moments with that plunge-y feeling. I pretty much wanted to die after that ride, UGH. After that, we did some bumper cars and some krazy karts (karts were way better than the cars, just sayin') and the Tilt-A-Whirl (we did this one a bazillion times, lol, but afterwards, felt all dizzy and nauseated) and a few more times on the Big Dipper before we decided we were done for the day. We also walked a little bit along the beach, but we weren't really dressed in beach attire, so yeah. - Some Inception Recs
So I kind of have recs all the time posting here from my twitter digests, lol, but I just want to talk about a few Mal-centered fics! So I've been wanting some after the fall fics since I've seen the movie and now, there are three of them! ♥- I Am the Hero of This Story (Don’t Need to Be Saved) by

The first one, I read late last night when the author was still anonymous and it was amazing! (Author has since de-anon'd, obviously. ♥) Then today, when I came home from Belmont Park, I saw the second one as another fill to the same prompt and it is awesome too! And then a few hours ago before I went to shower, I read the last one! Pretty much all of these are a bit heartbreaking, obviously, but I think the last one kind of broke my heart the most! BUT THEY ARE ALL FANTASTIC AND YOU SHOULD READ THEM! ♥♥♥ - I Am the Hero of This Story (Don’t Need to Be Saved) by
