Dreams!

Last night I dreamed that I was at a function for my parents' church, and all these old men kept hitting on me. One kept following me around the function, and one kept whispering in my ear. Then, I left and went for a bicycle ride with Leah. She was on a little red fixie while I was on an adult tricycle with a large basket between the rear wheels. We rode through a vintage clothing store, which was particularly difficult with my extra width. Escaping from the ridiculous amount of purple clothing in the store, we met up with a hip bicycle gang and cruised down the street.

Short rides

I rode my bicycle to a job interview last week, past a playground full of children. "Hey!" One of them called at me. "I'll buy your bike for five thousand dollars!"

"FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?" I called back, laughing, before continuing on my ride.It's a shame little kids don't actually have money, otherwise I would obviously have no need to go to job interviews. I spent $115 on my bicycle originally, and nows she got a new rear brake cable, some new tubes, and trued truer wheels. However, I strongly doubt that these improvements have added $4,885 to the value of my bicycle. This means I would be making quite a profit on my $5,000 bicycle sale--and demonstrates to me just how profitable taking advantage of small children could be. If only they had the funds.

Dear World,

Today it snowed in Austin, Texas. I called half the people in my phone as I spun around, through the puddles in my parking lot, with an unconquerable smile, giggling while the flakes stung my face and scattered my coat.

My smile still will not go away. I don't think the weather has ever made me happier.

It's snowing.

Rude Girl Update

Today, once again, I was behind Rude Girl at the stoplight at Speedway and 38th. Today she was wearing brown shorts over black tights, the only fashion faux pas that I actively campaign against.

My dislike of her has increased, but at least today I rode faster than she did.

Technological progress.

Cell phones are the perfect example of the ubiquity of technology these days. They're also a great example of the current trend of bringing the private into public. For example, the woman next to me right now in the coffee shop just made a call. "Hi! Whoever left me a message saying I needed to come in for another pap because there was something abnormal or something about the last one!"
