On the plus side I have learned that a country can function wonderfully without a government -> politcians are overrated .
O man, that sucks. We keep hearing talk of our economy here, but no one seems to know what's going on. :headscratch:
After the latest spill, I might need to avoid making left turns altogether when biking. For some reason, I made too wide of a turn at a turn that I've made many times before and ended up in a small ditch. Probably more embarrassing than it was painful, though the bump on my head, along with a banged up shoulder, scraped elbow and knees hurt quite a bit. Could have been worse I suppose. At least I didn't stop the fall with my face. Took a little bit of effort to get out of the ditch, and the rest of the bike ride home was spent brushing off and spitting out dirt. After taking a shower, cleaning the wounds with alcohol and putting on some band-aids, I just crashed in bed. Kind of strange, after a few years of accident-free biking, I've had two in the last year. Probably don't want to make it a habit. :sweat:
Yeah, that really sucked. I was bored out of my mind today because it was slow at work, so no jdorama.com = horribly tragic. Don't leave me again!!! *clings*

Ouch.. it sucks to fall off a bike.
When I was in high school I took a girl I was dating and her friend on their first mountain biking trip and I was showing them how safe it was if you were careful. Little did I know that the hill I was riding down had been eroded away in the rain and there was a diagonal groove about 2 inches wide.. just enough to catch the tire and send me tumbling. even though I was practically in shock and pretty bloody, I popped up off the ground.. as if to say how safe it was :shamefulcry: They never let me live that one down.

I give you props for being able to pop right back up :beaten: I'd probably be lying in a bloody, broken mess if I went tumbling down a hill. Never been mountain biking so I'm sure I'd take quite a few spills.

It was really pretty pathetic. My knee was all torn up and there was like a 4 inch gash on my arm. As much as I would have liked to keep going, I was smart enough to know that I'd probably be better off taking care of my injuries ;) <- stupid teenagers.
Bottom part of the bonding between my front teeth fell out somehow. It's Friday. The earliest I can get it fixed will probably be Tuesday. It looks like my tooth is chipped. I can't go to work like this tonight! And Sunday night! Plus school on Monday!!! I hope I wasn't in class like this today. I didn't notice it this morning so it had to have happened some time after I left.... :shamefulcry:

Oh no, that sucks. :( Just smile at people at work without opening your mouth. I hope that doesn't sound sarcastic, but that's the only thing I can think of..
As for me, my car is screwed up. :( When I started it this morning, it made a really weird noise. I managed to get all the way to my workplace, but when I turned off the engine, it wouldn't stop making noise and the car shook. Luckily, I know the people who run the gas station nearby, so I drove it there. Last I saw was that the engine or muffler or something was smoking under the hood. :sweat: I hope they don't kill me with the bill. :puppydog:

That's what I'm gonna do. And I'm gonna stay behind the bar to make it harder for people to see me.
Sucks about the car. I've also had enough car troubles...
