in_steadSomebody please assure me that I'm not the only person tempted to do an entire meme just so that I can give a smartass answer to one question.
(Name brand of your shoes currently wearing? "Shoes? I'm not even wearing PANTS!")
*cough*
In other news, I've been packing my life into boxes. I am finding it unexpectedly distressing to be dismantalling my apartment. I've lived almost two years longer here than I've lived anywhere else in my entire life. I don't particularly want to leave. Not that I want to be heading back for another year at Carleton -- I've spent a sufficient amount of time there as it is, thank you very much -- but if I could just stay in my apartment and get on with the next part of my life at the same time, that would be nice.
On the other hand, what I usually remember only after moving is that I really rather like it. I like changing cities. It's more exciting when you're not moving back some place, but still, I'm moving back to do something completely different from anything I've done before, which makes up for the familiarity of the place.
As well, I am getting a new bike. I am. And I am going to join a cycling club. I do hope it doesn't turn out like the time when I was in grade four and joined the school's cross country running club. All I learned from that experience is that a) I am not a runner, and b) it is embarassing to be lapped twice by the pack before you finish your first time around the course.

Date: 12 August 2005 05:55 pm (UTC)As much as I am falling slowly in love with the Giant OCR 3 -- I'm just waiting for a day when it isn't raining to go take it out for a test spin -- I have to admit to feeling a certain degree of lust for the Guru bikes. They're way out of my price range and, furthermore, far more bike than I could handle with my limited experience. However, they do come in a snazzy maple leave design for the particularly proud Canadian cyclist.
And that makes me happy. *g*
(Of course not. But having a bike certainly does help.)
