HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS - Spoiler Alert

If you haven't already gone to Halloween Horror Nights but plan on going, don't read this until you've gone. I'll just end up ruining it for you.

So Saturday was just a bunch of bullshark. I probably ran the gauntlet of emotions. Late Friday night Brittany's mom text her saying she was sick, thought she had pneumonia and wouldn't be able to take care of Ivory. After Brit already got her shift covered, which was apparently an ordeal. Brit and I were pissed. It was less than 24 hours notice, on a Friday night... and we were like "well we could go Sunday but again who'd watch Ivory?" and plus we both had to work early on Monday and it would be extremely unlikely to get someone to watch her the next Saturday. So we paid my friend Jen $25 to watch her. Then when Brittany went to buy the tickets online as we were leaving it said it was Sold Out!

Brittany called up our friend Aubrey who works at Universal year around and he assured us to bring our coke can with us that it was impossible to sellout because everyone is coming and going, blah blah blah. So we drive 2 hours to get there and all the signs say sold out. So we get to the parking gate and Brittany goes, "If he tells me it's sold out I'm going to piss on his face." I've never laughed so hard in my life. So we get up there and I go "on a scale of yeah to no not really, how sold out is this?" and he goes "uh, they told us it was sold out but I have no clue. They might have tickets and just have us put that up when it's close to slow down the amount of people." So we pay the man his money and RACE towards the parking which was a cluster of doom. I felt bad for the traffic guy because no one was paying him any attention. So we run. Brit's in heeled boots and I'm like "well, glad I ate my wheaties this morning." We get there and we're trying to call Aubs and he's doing his show work so he couldn't meet us up front but we got in, thank god. So we go, get drinks and try and find Aubrey. Then we wait in line for 2 hours for Silent Hill. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. The black lady in front of me was freaking out and Brit was clutching on me and I just laughed at everyone. Then we timed it out. if we had to wait 2 hours for every house we'd never make it to all of them so we prioritized. The Walking Dead, Alice Cooper and then the rest of them if we have time. We didn't. We spent too much time in line, in the scare zones trying to find Aubrey, waiting for booze, ect. We vowed two things for next year: Boys to make out with in line to make it go by faster and express passes. They were $100 otherwise we would have gone for it.

We waited in line for The Walking Dead for 3 fucking hours. Let me tell you that despite me getting wicked bad acid reflux and the hiccups at the same time, my whole body killing me and the lady in front of me not only annoying Brit and myself to the point of us almost killing her for our own sanity that her own husband told her to shut up towards the end, it was completely worth it. I am not easily scared, I mostly just laugh at them. But this house got me. I wasn't a fan of the whole hospital setting or that they didn't actually chase you and that the mattresses touched you (because you know me and my bubble) after a million other people have gone through it (GERMS!). But I screamed so loud at the end of it that I scared 3 people behind me and the crazy girl who wouldn't shut up in front of me that she jumped on her husband and knocked him over. It was hilarious.

Then we tried to find Aubrey. Brit had to pee every five minutes because she was drinking. If you go and you're over 21, get the Dead Walker. So good. I don't even like Malibu Rum and I thought it was good. It's Malibu and "Minute Maid Fruit Juices" which was grapefruit and I think apple juice, not sure.

We went to Alice Cooper because my friend said it was "Pyschotic" but it was just stupid. We finally caught up with Aubrey after he was out of work after Alice Cooper and just hung out with him for a little bit. Then we left and went to Denny's. I almost fell asleep like 50 bajillion times. I was touching my face just to wake up. I thought eating would help but it didn't. Brit and I were so wrecked after it and all we did was basically stand in line for 6 hours. It was miserable. Brit was running on 3 hours of sleep, myself on 5 and then we ending up staying up until 5am. Brit had to get up with Ivory at 8 and then run her mom around. I slept until 2 which is something I NEVER do so my whole body was pissed. I was hungover without even drinking. I wore comfortable shoes so I can't even understand why my body was so messed up. Getting old I guess.

So that was Halloween Horror Nights. If we lived closer we would have done multiple nights so we could ride on the rides and hit all of the houses. Maybe even endure the wait for The Walking Dead again.
