     Johnny writes down his thoughts in the family's ongoing fair journal while they are at the Tennessee State Fair. This is his second entry.
Tuesday, October 12, 2004, Tennessee State Fair~

Hi! This is Johnny!

I am still here at the fair; but the past few days have been challenging for me. See, I get sick easily on the rides, and if I don't get sick while ON the rides, I can get sick while NOT on the rides! I can watch them, and I get sick! UGH~

There have been some doozies when it comes to rides at this year's fair: the TopSpin, the Booster, the SpaceRoller, the Storm, the Orbiter, the SkyCoaster, and the Indiago. UGH! Just the NAMES of these rides are causing my stomach to do the flippy thing, and I don't know how people can even THINK of riding such horrific rides! I look at them, and all I end up doing is getting sick or BARRRRRRRRRFFFFing my head off! LOL You've ever heard of BarfCity? Well, that is ME, all over!

I would much rather spend my days here looking at the exhibits or listening to some live music: ANYTHING to avoid looking at the rides; but I can still hear the screams or the ride noises when the rides are in motion, and that is enough to tie my stomach into knots too! I just wish I could do something to muffle the sound of the rides; for one thing, it would be much easier on my poor tummy!

I don't know why my stupid brothers and sisters INSIST on going to the midway: I can't handle it, and the greasy smell of the fair food doesn't help matters any! The combination of the smells from the food stands and the smell from the rides is enough to do ME in, and it doesn't take all that long before I feel sick to my tummy! I wish I could just stay in the exhibits or listening to the music while my family has fun on the midway; but noooo...I gotta' stay with them, so I guess I am stuck like chuck! GRRR!!

Fairs. ICK. I love 'em, yet I HATE 'em!

~Johnny. :( (Sick at that..my tummy's doing the flippy thing again....URPPP!)
