When it comes to these two haunted houses Schmitt’s Farm on Long Island kicked Blood Manor’s ass. Yes, you heard right, all the buzz around the haunted house in the NYC Chelsea area known as Blood Manor was nothing but hype. I would be even more pissed if I wasn’t treated as VIP and able to cut the line, which snaked around the block and continued inside the “manor” spiraling up five flights of stairs! The only thing that was interesting was the scenery in the rooms, which couldn’t be appreciated at times because you were being ushered forward by bad actors. Okay, I’ll give them that, the scenery was impressive, but was I ever scared? No. And unfortunately at other times you were backlogged in a room due to too many people in front. Then the actors didn’t seem to know what to do with you, repeating the same cheesy lines. Blood manor relied on scaring people with loud sounds and bad acting. Hate to give this away, but at the end you were given 3D glasses that made the paint on the walls and floor pop out. This was pretty cool, but only for about 5 minutes. It got boring and the actors increasingly bad. Then suddenly it ends. I felt Schmitt’s Farm was way more fun and thrilling without the huge budget or cost. It also took you into different themed rooms and a few hallways. If it got crowded in front of you could wait for a minute or two in a hallway. Also what was interesting was you weren’t surrounded by actors; you were alone at times which I feel added to the creepiness. It was VERY dark. At some points you had to feel your way out with your hands, while people whispered in your ears and followed you. A few of the actors talked to you and they didn’t need to use such vulgar language as in Blood Manor- I’m not going to repeat what a midget threatened me with. In Schmitt’s haunted house, actors were properly hiding, not just there as you entered a room. A lot of the actors didn’t even talk which I thought was way freakier than the actors screaming at you in Blood Manor. And some actors stood statue still in a room so you didn’t know they were real until they suddenly moved. A few favorites of mine in that Schmitt's haunted house was a room with a strobe light filled with hanging clowns you had to push through and then you were greeted with a real clown wielding a butcher’s knife. There was also a small balloon tunnel you had to crawl though, that got to me since I’m claustrophobic. There were also guys with chainsaws. Schmitt’s also had a haunted cornfield that was equally fun. You could hear all sorts of noise and not be able to see where it was coming from. Something would distract you and then an actor would pop out and scare you. Another plus, there were more chainsaws. Schmitt’s was very impressive since they had a lower budget than Blood Manor, a reasonable price, and just as good costumes with better actors. I highly recommend everyone go to Schmitt’s and skip out on being ripped off at Blood Manor- unless you just want a bunch of flash and no scare.
I can't believe I haven't written here since 2006. Kinda insane.... I have a live journal I write in scarcely if I feel I have to put thoughts down, it's private though. I think it's just that this part of my life in this xanga seems like a past I don't want to be a part of. I'm still looking on xanga for quotes for AIM away messages though. My friend Lisa got me into that. I still check back here once in awhile. Things seem to be going well in my life, but I can't help the bad feeling that in the long run things are just going to fall apart. I'm the same person, yet different. These experiences have shaped me into who I am today, but I need to move on. The way things are now seem so trivial compared to before, it's not worth keeping track of. K, that's all I wanted to say.
I know i've been a hermit, wat can i say? Been studying all last week and all this week. I took my music, econ and fiction finals, only Chinese Philo and Pysc of Prejudice left. Not too bad. So yea i can't type long. There hasn't been much going on though. I've worked the past two weekends at the Childrens Place and stayed with Josh. Josh got the Wii, i played it, it's mad coooool. Josh has been sweet taking me out places to eat. Hanging out w/him is so much fun. My parents are all pissed about me having a job now. Geeze wats new. If they can't get mad about me about one thing, its another. Weren't they telling me once to go get a job? Wow they are insane. They are threatening to put me in Queens College- oh come on, really. Hopefully, they are bluffing. BTW, yea i hate x-mas. Don't get me nothing, but I think some ppl owe me b-day gifts (not Alisha! Shes great!), lol, and i owe some ppl too. Ahhhhh I'm gonna be so broke soon...
Black spring! Pick up your pen, and weeping, Of February, in sobs and ink, Write poems, while the slush in thunder Is burning in the black of spring.
Through clanking wheels, through church bells ringing A hired cab will take you where The town has ended, where the showers Are louder still than ink and tears.
Where rooks, like charred pears, from the branches In thousands break away, and sweep Into the melting snow, instilling Dry sadness into eyes that weep.
Beneath - the earth is black in puddles, The wind with croaking screeches throbs, And-the more randomly, the surer Poems are forming out of sobs ~Boris Pasternak --- Come into my world I've got to show show show you come into my bed I've got to know know know you
I have dreams of orca whales and owls but I wake up in fear you will never be my, you will never be my fool will never be my fool
Floaters in my eyes wake up in the hotel room cigarettes and lies I am a child, it's too soon
I have dreams of orca whales and owls but I wake up in fear you will never be my, you will never be my fool will never be my fool
a little bag of cocaine a little bag of cocaine so is the girl wearing my dress I figured out her number inside a paper napkin but I don't know her address I wade downstairs
the porter smiles to me a smile I've bought with a couple of gold coins a sign that I've been caught
I have dreams of orca whales and owls but I wake up in fear you will never be my, you will never be my dear will never be my dear, dear friend
my dear, dear friend... ~Regina Spektor

PS- So I found out I got a C+ on the Chinese Philo paper i worked so HARD on. So I don't think I'm getting an A in that class now and I found out my avg for History of Music is a B+ WTF that was such an easy class, i showed up everyday for that shit and thats what he gives me?! I gues he based everything on the two tests. I got 90 on the first one and prob high 80s on the second. Fuck this is not good, I'm going to so hear it from my parents. This is not my fault this semester's classes were so hard! But I know they are going to blame it on me going back to Queens some weekends. OMG y me..........
My classes for Spring 2007: Fiction II, Photography I, Digital Visual Media Communication, Lit: Americans on the Move, Understanding America. I feel much better about my direction in life now that I've decided on minoring in journalism and touching upon photography. I have future classes planned accordingly and I'm super excited. This weeks been moving sooooooo horribly sllllloooowwww :/ Thankgod for Josh who came to see me this weekend and it was great cause i haven't see him forever! Another reason Josh is great ^_^ is cause he stood in line in the rain and got me a +44 cd signed by the whole band. They were at the Virgin Mega store in Time Square. Josh is AWESOME!!! XD I'm failing economics as u kno and this past quiz i got a 5/10 cause it only consisted of two questions, therefore it's a pass or fail, wtf? Everyone did poorly so he gave a makeup-and everyone and I mean EVERYONE failed it- LMAO! This dude is finally realizing his teaching and test making skills must suck. It's ok though cause i mean he's a nice guy and I dunt think he wants to fail anyone. I just wrote 3 extra credit papers for him, hopefully that gets me a C, a B if i'm ever so lucky. I'm kinda surprised at myself for realizing some personal issues i've been struggling w/lately. Like y i'm "hung up" on particualr things. And there is me (who i hate) and the me I want to be. Nothing really gets solved, i gues it's good to just be aware of things... I got my flu shot this morning. I think they are a bit sketchy, but i felt i might need it this yr. Ppl having been bothing me to move to live journal, i'm thinking about it... If you haven't listened to Corinne Bailey Rae or Regina Spektor yet- U NEED TO!!! <333 And Regina Spektor is a SUNY Purchase alumni! :O cooooooooolerssssss
~They made a statue of us And it put it on a mountain top Now tourists come and stare at us Blow bubbles with their gum Take photographs for fun, for fun
They'll name a city after us And later say it's all our fault Then they'll give us a talking to Then they'll give us a talking to Because they've got years of experience We're living in a den of thieves Rummaging for answers in the pages We're living in a den of thieves And it's contagious~
