Sometimes I really wonder about people.

This passed weekend I went home for a visit. On one of the nights I was there a friend and I decided to go to Disneyland. Well we got to the gate right as they were closing. Neither of us had thought to check what time the park was closing that night let alone if we were blacked out. So I ended up going again the next night with another friend. It turned out to be the first night of Halloween for Disneyland as well as a Friday night. It was super packed with people. We waited over an hour for space mountain. Somehow in that time I noticed the signs but never read them that they had changed the ride for the season and had the bugeebers scared out of me. Which my friend thought was really funny. I got him back later at the haunted mansion. While we were in line though we met this guy. He was there by himself and started talking to us. Now this was fine because we are fairly friendly people and didn't mind because the guy was pretty pleasant and interesting. We were talking about history and things we had been watching on netflix and cooking and all sorts of things. He seemed like a cool guy who was there by himself because his girlfriend wanted to stay home that night and he really wanted to be there. I smelled a little alcohol on his breath but didn't mind all that much because the line was outdoors and I could only smell it when we were in areas where the line was packed really tightly together. He must have drank a whole lot right before we met him though because he started to get more and more drunk as time went on. He started to slur and sway a little and get louder and more belligerent. He even pulled out the chain from some kid who was sitting on it in line. Technically you are not supposed to sit on it but the kid looked pretty ticked. At that point it still wasn't that bad though. For those who have not been on space mountain, there is an area where the fast pass line and the stand by line meet and start to go into the building and you go through this kind of tunnel. In that area it is like a big tube that looks like some passage way out of all space movies ever except that there are hand rails on both sides of the tunnel. This fool decided to sit on one and did a back flip over and dropped right on his butt. I was sure he was going to hit his head. He was laughing the entire time. Now let me say that just before this we had decided to go on the next two or three rides together before the park closed. I was starting to regret that decision. So we get out of that area and into the loading area where we had to watch him because we were worried that he was going to take a header off of that. Thankfully he didn't, not only because he didn't get hurt but also because if i spent over an hour in that line I was darn well going to ride it! It was so scary though. So after that I wanted to go on big thunder but when we got there it was closed. I went to take pictures of the Dia De Los Muertos stuff that they put up in front of Rancho Del Zolcalo but he was bumping into me so much and getting grabby that all of my pictures came out really blurry. Next we went to the haunted mansion but the line was really long. We decided to go on pirates first because we could almost walk on and then come back to the mansion. My friend wanted to leave me to see if the line was shorter but I told him we all had to go together because I had no service for him to call me and had to go with him. Later I told him about how grabby the guy was getting and that I didn't want to be left with him. So we get to pirates and when we get on the boat he starts off ok because we are talking about when we were all little and used to come to the park and all of the hidden Mickey's in the ride and the food at the Blue Bayou. Then he starts sticking his hands in the water and splashing everyone on the boat. Then we notice that he is practically bathing himself in it!!!! Pirate water is SO DIRTY!!!! My friend leaned over and said, "I just realized that he is doing that because he is really hot from being drunk and is trying to cool himself off." I asked if he had not noticed that back at space mountain. He said that he did know that the guy was drunk it just took a minute to figure out about the bathing in the pirate water. It was nasty. Then after pirates I wanted to try to ditch him but he knew where we were going next so it wasn't really possible. So we went to the haunted mansion where every few feet once it got dark he kept yelling, "Don't touch me there!" It was super irritating. I kept putting my friend between the two of us because I was getting really tired of being "accidentally" bumped. By this time I had already told him we were not exchanging numbers and that I lived 200 miles away. On the way out of we went through Frontier Land and stopped by a pin trading post where I thought he would get tired of waiting while I got a Boo pin but he didn't. Then we stopped by a shop on main street to look for a halloween costume for my friends cousin. Then we walked out. By the time we got to the tram area I think it was starting to hit him as he sobered up what a jerk he was being and he gave us each an awkward hug goodbye and left. Sometimes I swear I have some kind of neon sign on my head that attracts the crazies and drunks. I mean really who needs to be that drunk when they are at Disneyland especially with no friends to keep them form being that stupid.
