Things that I learned today:
1. Unicycles are heavy, especially if you're lugging them around for a long time.
2. Mormons can be fun ;)
3. It's really, really hot out.
4. I suck at fixing things.
5. My aunt lives close to heritage park and is willing to let me stay at her house.
So, I got my uni today. I'm naming it Polyphemos (cookies to anyone who gets that reference). But when I was adjusting the seat hieght I have having a terrible time and I thought it was because I was incompetent- which is true- but the bolt thing I had to tighten was all stripped so I went out and got a new one.
And while I was on my way to getting Poly there were a couple of mormons coming the other way and they (naturally) stopped me and had the typical "Hi, we're mormons. Wanna join our church?" chat:
Them: have you had a chance to read the book of Mormon?
Me: yup.
Them: Do you believe in God?
Me: Yes, several actually.
Them: o.O
Them: When I converted it gave me the best happiness ever.
Me: Well, my girlfriend gives me the best happiness ever. Thanks though.
Them: O.o
Them: Have a nice day.
You know, I wouldn't be so hard/blunt with them, but seriously. They must know that hardly anyone actually likes to talk to them. Oh well. I was nicer than I could have been.
Yay! My aunt said I could live with her! Well, I should probably call her. But apparently she lives a 15 minute bike-ride from Heritage Park. And there's a spare room I could stay in, and I'm fairly sure she has wireless internet. And her house is nice. They're all pretty Catholic, though. But I can deal with that. They aren't as hard core religious as, say, Steph's family. There is NO WAY I could stand living with them a whole summer. But I'll have plenty of personal space and my own computer so it'll be fine. I should call her.
Owie. My hands hurt. does someone wanna fix Poly for me?
