AUGH! TEH SPELLING!

Man.

I'm so embarrassed.

I just looked over my last post, and I realized I had about five-to-seven spelling mistakes which rendered it nearly unreadable. Augh. OK, well, I will try harder. Less errors, more...non-errors? (I couldn't think of anything that rhymed with errors to make it a catchy phrase. Sorry. All I could think of was the word 'eros.' But that doesn't count, because it's not even an English word. AND it doesn't rhyme. With lime. In time. For me to make another...oh, never mind. That wasn't going anywhere.)

OK, so I've decided I would bring you my exciting bike story! Since this has been a real trial and tribulation for me, I feel this is best expressed in art form. (Don't you love it when I say that? I love it when I say that.)
*************************************************************************************

This is me. Typically riding as fast as possible to class because I'm always JUST on time. On the bright side, that's better than I've ever done for being on time.






This is me when the brakes on my bike snapped. I was on a slightly inclining hill.





This is me deciding that I should tempt fate. After all, nothing is as fun as a bike with no brakes on a hill in high traffic.






This is me...well, I think it's pretty obvious what happened.








This is me apologizing. I felt it went well given my highly emotive facial expressions. Click to see the picture in all it's pixilated glory.









This is me, walking to school and social events for about three or four days. All I can say is, I value my bike, which I have recently dubbed 'Big Red' or "Little Red Riding Hood", for short. Because then I don't have to go running through the centre of Leuven like a maniac. Now I can BIKE through Leuven like a maniac. (You know, I've noticed something. If someone is running through town, you think them uncultured, unkempt, and OBVIOUSLY disorganized and not together. However, if you see someone biking or DRIVING like a speeder super fast, you think something more like, "Oh wow, that person must have to get their kids to daycare before work, THAT'S why they're speeding." You usually make excuses for people who speed on bikes or in other types of vehicles, because they naturally go faster than someone who walks, and yet you often think it's very normal for other modes of transportation to go VERY fast. It's kind of funny when you think about it. Compare your reactions next time you see someone running down the street compared to someone biking or driving a car relatively speedily down the street.)






SO, now I have my bike back! I'm so happy! =D =D =D

Anyways, I'm glad things worked out with that. I'm also glad I got a 'customer card' at the second hand bike shop at the start of the year, since this is the third time I've broken...I mean, this is the third time the bike has broken itself. Yeah. I didn't man-handle it or anything. No.

it's actually "fewer errors," not "less errors."

In pursuit of the grammatically perfect post, of course.
