Ouch, I can't believe I wrote that. That's just asking for trouble.... I think I'll recite a few of the homeric hymns as I walk to work today and hope that I don't get shot myself....

I also think I need to talk to someone about causterizing a heart. Or... nah, I'll ask one of my ex's to talk to the ex in question, since he'll be able to sympathize better than I will, being a boy and all....

Yay!!!!

I can ride a bike now!

Sort of!

I made it a good hundred years over a dozen times, and even managed to do two 180-degree left turns! (didn't manage to get a decent right turn without losing my balance, though)

I grokked how shifting gears works, and ended up going in 5th-gear on the grass, and in 1st gear on the blacktop. I was able to glide successfully, and brake to slow down (without stopping or losing my balance), then put my feet back on the pedals and speed up again!

Now, I just need to get the hang of steering - I keep on tensing up and swinging the handlebars around and losing my balance. But I tried to emulate suffragettes and I think I'm managing to get the hang of it.
