   Boy, the reply to that last e-mail was sure quick...
i cant wait to see what peole think of it here. I am having a great time as usual, so here is a breif summing up of the past few days. On sunday, hieu and i went out with loads of his guy freinds, first to kareoke, wich even though i am absolutely mortified when i sing, and it took peter and Quin Ahn almost the whole time to convince me to sing we three kings, i scored a 98.... Weird huh? then we went out to the mall and quin ahn, nga and i went shirt shopping, and we three girls had a wonderful time chattering away as we found me the perfect shirt. The guy followed at a discreet distance in a group, apperently they dont get why we love to shop. And when i tried on the shirt i bought cheered with aproval, they are very silly. After that we had kfc for dinner, and nga had to go home after that. Every one else went to the arcade down stairs, and i had a wonderful time beating or tieing the guys in a version of a game where you use levers to hit a ball at high speeds. The next day i didnt feel good and as the doctor said i have a cold-weather sickness and i should not go out in a thunderstorm again. Today hieu and i hung out in the morning and i mopped my room, much to hoa's delight. Then trum came over, and she taught me the basic flower that you can make with wire and mesh. Apperently i am a VERY fast learner, and she says i soon will be better than her. She is teaching my the basics so that i can take a level 2 course on making flowers with her soon. We hung out, and then trum and i decided to go out for ice cream. Hieu declined to come, the xbox being more interesting at that point than hearing more of our girl chatter, wich he had heard all day. She and i had a mavelous time, and i think hieu had a well deserved break. Then tonight after i bate my dinner in record time. I got to witness hieu and thun (his best freind the chemistry genius) make and detonate gunpowder. It was really cool. But unfortunately, i was only allowed to watch, due to the fact that i didn't know what to do, but mainly because they didnt want me to be hurt or in danger in anyt way shape or form. Hieu's hyper protective attitude seems to rub of on his guy freinds ( thought i suspect it is partialy from him threatening to tear them limb from limb if they endanger me) who also are very protective of me. Another example is when another guy freind ofered me a ride on his motorcycle and to tech me how to ride it,a nd hieu suddenly grew 3 feet and replyed for me 'over my dead body' while cracking his knuckles and glowering. oh wel, it is all right, at least he cares. Lastly i am putting in text a most amusing darwin award (for those that are uneducated, true stories of those who thankfully removed themselves from the gene pool).

love kenna

ps. this wonderful happening is titled kissing a roller coaster. It is my current favorite.

WORKER KILLED AFTER BEING HIT BY A ROLLERCOASTER TRAIN

An employee of Joyland Amusement Park located in Wichita, Kansas, was killed Thursday after he was struck by the train on the park's classic wooden roller coaster.

According to reports the employee was doing some gardening work near the tracks and just got too close. He died instantly after the train hit him.

News reports stated that Joyland Amusement Park did not have any rules banning maintenance work near the tracks, while the Roller Coaster is in operation.

The wooden roller coaster has a classic out and back layout, designed by Herb Schmeck. The Roller Coaster opened in 1949 and is recognized as an ACE classic

Ok, I remember vividly that day what happened, and this article is missing some crucial facts. The employee of this amusment park was weed eating around the the bottom of the roller coaster, specifically were the trough of the tracks decent is just a mere 5 feet and few inches above the ground. His mind deafend by the combnation of the weed eater, the walkman he was wearing, and the sheer lack of common sense, and the fact never must of crossed his mind where theres track there could be a roller coaster. Its hard to tell what makes some people tick, but in order to more comfortably weed eat in a tight spot without hunching in a annoying crouched postion under the ride, he casually peered is head up between and above the tracks to continue his labours work. Which the timeing could not have been any worse or better which ever way you think. He kissed the roller coaster of death head on, knocked his head clean off, probably didn't even know what hit him, with out a doubt that had to leave a lasting impression on the people in the front of the coaster, maybe even on there shirts. I was suprised I didn't find this incident on your site. I think he's a formidable contender for his long awaited Darwin Award...
