right now its a love hate relationship

My bike is on probation, lock down, time out- strict disciplinary measures have been taken.

I was riding my then most wonderful bike, back home to get my car and take my RD's son to school (I drive him 5 minutes there every Wednesday afternoon). Well, I sort of half stopped, then tried to fix my bookbag that was falling and the combo was bad news bears. I almost caught myself, but in an awkward tripping motion I couldn't get my other leg over the frame and I fell. I wasn't even really moving. But to my dismay I looked down and saw that the left knee of my favorite jeans had just aquired a nice rip in them. Some guy asked, "are you ok?". "Yup! great!" I replied and quickly got back on and rode off.

I got home and threw my bike against the wall, locked it up and yelled at it a bit so it would realize the seriousness of the situation (well I wanted to at least). I took Ryan to school and then went to Brit. Lit. I showed Catherine my new rip and she made me feel better by saying "hey it looks like you paid an extra 30 bucks for that rip".

Stupid bike.

Don't tell, but I'm sitting next to you in class right now.

This story was wonderful. And I feel special that I was able to see part of this.
