That is the reason I will never fly anywhere in my life AGAIN, being stuck in a metal tube a mile above the ground? No thanks. And I know the mechanics of planes, I know how they work, the science behind aerodynamics, and I have studied aircraft, but regardless of all of my sciency knowledge, I am still terrified.
I absolutely love flying, aside from the whole airport part. Take-offs, landings, sweeping turns... love it! Roller-coasters on the other hand absolutely ridiculously terrify me. Probably because one has a pilot in control, the other one just goes.
Really? Roller coasters are as close to flying as I'm willing to get.
But you know what baffles me beyond BELIEF, what my Dad got me for Christmas one year, keep in mind, me and my brother got Metallica tickets the year prior, he gave me and my brother tickets to see Phish, a concert that goes under the classification of "Stuff I Wish I Had Never Been Forced Into Going To And Never Will Do Again" espically because I pleaded with my brother to take his friend Chad, because I had heard Phish before, and it was baaaaad. Anyways, included with this was something I will assume was supposed to be a nice present, but is the worst thing to give someone with a bad case of vertigo. He gave me GLIDER TICKETS! TICKETS TO FLY A GLIDER! I think he forgot about it because we never went, and I never brought up the fact that it was a terrible idea to him, which I should of because its likely I would have tried fighting my way out of the thing in the air. Also, this past Christmas I got Allman Brother tickets and I was just, bored at the two hour set, so I hope my Dad doesn't get me concert tickets this year, or at least find out what kind of music I like.
