(1) camp starts tomorrow! i’m half super nervous, half super psyched.

(2) someone stole the scooter license plate, and the dentmobile is at the mechanic. so i have to either ride my bike tomorrow or get a ride. i thought my days of being dependent were over! oh well.

(3) if you see me try to purchase a CD in the near future, please slap me or something. too many new CDs lately. i have acquired 26 in the last three weeks, 4 just today. not good.

(4) there is less than a month until breaking dawn, the final twilight novel is released (august 2nd)!!! i just finished rereading the series this afternoon, and it’s making me very antsy. when i read these books i get unnaturally caught up in them. it seriously takes me weeks after finishing them to get them out of my mind. any down time i have is spent thinking about them, i’m not even kidding. note to self: calm the hell down and get your OCD under control.

i scootered around brighton today for a good two hours. i wanted to see how long it would take me to get from place to place (for example, on mondays i may have to go from home to FRES to brighton rec to MCC to home). i also hit up record archive afterwards and purchased the new joy electric album that came out three days ago. i feel real comfortable on the scooter now, and i’m almost used to the terrible looks i get from drivers as they pass me. lol.

oh, and i filled up the gas tank. well, it was 3/4 empty. guess how much it cost? — $3.17. a little math tells me that to fill it up from E would cost $4.23. that’s awesome.

it’s a schwinn newport 50. it’s black. it has a maximum speed of 30 MPH. it’s faster than my bike. it’s cheaper than a car. it gets like 100 miles per gallon. it’s awesome.

we got it from a store called urban village scooters, and we actually bought it two weeks ago. some trubs with the dmv prevented us from riding it until today. well, at least we have it now.

my dad taught me how to ride it after work in the MCC parking lot (same lot i learned to drive a car in!). it’s not as difficult as i thought it would be, but my dad still wants me to practice more. hopefully i’ll be able to ride it to work by monday : )
