2008 Annual Pilgrimage

Greetings! Today (conveniently an inset day, wherein we are not forced to travel halfway ac cross the city to attend our various schools) marks the 2008 annual Radiatorian pilgrimage. Perhaps a little elaboration is required here.

I am a member of an unofficial social group coined the Radiator Crew, our favourite haunt being the radiator next to the theatre in the Music and Drama department of our school. The laws of the Radiator are simple. Any person over the age of thirteen who is related to or a close friend of one of the Radiatorian founders. Ownership of the Radiator is passed down through generation, and once the Owner reaches sixth form, it is passed on to the next oldest member, and so on. Because the Radiatorians have been somewhat scattered over the years, we plan a reunion every year, our Annual Pilgrimage, where we all get together and have a fun-packed day at Thorpe Park, a London theme park full of rollercoasters and fun games and Stuff.

My sister Almond and I spent the night at my best friend Anna's house the night before, along with Erez and Elphaba, two friends of Evie's (Anna's sister), and then we met the rest of our group at the underground station the next morning to meet the rest of our group. The party consisted of me, Almond, Anna, Evie, her boyfriend Bobbles, Erez, Elphaba, Leo, Eddie and Dov.
After one body-drenching ride on Tidal Wave, we split up into two groups and proceeded to our preferred rides. My group (Erez, Elphaba, Evie, Bobbles and Leo) rode on Logger's Leap (exactly like Tidal Wave except without the humungous splash), X No Way Out, The Flying Fish, and a bunch of other rides.

Only now that I think about it, I wish I'd done Stealth. And Nemesis.

Oh well.

Regretfully,
