Who knew that cat sitting was so much work? And here I thought I'd have a second vacation after my vacation. :P

HI!
I'm just this girl, y'know?
My enthusiasm for coasters started young - the first coaster I remember going on was Comet at Hershey park when I was just 5 years old. I immediately proceeded to ride Superdooperlooper and fell in love. Naturally, as a 5 year old, I was quite distracted by more important things, such as learning to ride a bike, that sharing is important, and that cat is spelled c-a-t.
Years passed by, and while I'm sure I went to Dorney in there, no visit stands out. It's my visit to Kings Dominion where I proudly boarded Anaconda, looked distrustingly at Shockwave, and informed nobody in particular that I would be tall enough for Flight of Fear next year that marks the beginning of my love for coasters.
When I was 9, I rode Steel Force for the first time and proceeded to ride it obsessively over the following 10 years. I was overwhelmingly upset that Hercules was taken out, but excited for Hydra...until I rode it, that is. Then I was even more upset that Hercules got torn down. So, instead, I just rode Steel Force like a beast, until I was 19 and started to get paid to spend time on Steel Force.
I worked at Dorney from 2009 to 2011, working at most rides around Steel Force and Talon, including both coasters.
On top of my coaster interests, I like videogames (Nintendo fangirl), Ray Bradbury and Douglas Adams novels, owls, freerunning, and chemistry.

Obsessive playing of RCT lead to spending way too much time at Dorney.

Self-description
I am always either too hyper or too lazy. I have the people dodging skills of a champion when it comes to crowded midways.
I hate waiting in line. So much so that I simply do not visit parks on weekends unless it's pre- or post-season.
I feel a strong brotherhood with ride operators, being an ex-ride operator, and pay too much attention to ride operations.
