Sometimes my own extrovertedness startles me.
I'm still not used to it.
Sometimes I like it.
Then sometimes I realize I might be too much of a show off.
Even when I have nothing worth showing off.
So the day after I bid on those wheels,
I went in to salvagettis so Kelly could get her bike fixed.
"So, we heard you're getting new wheels off of ebay, we're disapointed, dont you even feel bad"
I said i felt bad for a minute until I realized how awesome my bike is going to be.
Scott, the owner, told me that he could have helped me build a pair myself... but for almost double what I paid.
I thought it was wierd that they knew about my tires, considering the only person there I know is Micheala, and I didn't even tell her about the wheels. I only told 1 person..
The next night I was at a grad party and Josh was like "yea salvagettis knows about your wheels, and they're pissed. You probably shouldn't go back there." then later he was talking about helping me to put them on, but that we still dont really know exactly what size they are and hes like "yea.. that's probably why salvagettis was giving you a hard time about it" ..but I didn't really think they were giving me a hard time, and I didn't even mention anything to josh about salvagettis.
Then last night I was sitting next to redhead kevin eating dinner, naturally, bikes were involved in the conversation, so I was like "hey you have orange wheels right? well... i'm getting some too.. but I'm not copying you.. mine are going to look different." Then at St. Marks I was talking to Josh, and he called Johno over to ask about helping me with my wheels and josh told him about the wheels, and he's like "O! did you get em on ebay??" then he yelled over to Kevin that I was the one. and he's like "yea I found that out tonight" then he mentioned that salvagettis had told him that someone was getting orange wheels off ebay, and that if the person had tried to get the wheels from them they would have tried to talk them out of it."
I find things like that funny yet a bit scary.
that story wasn't even supposed to be the main point of this.
me being suprised by my own extrovertedness is really about when it comes to interacting with people.
and initiating friendships. because there has been alot of that. and it's awesome. and if feels right.
and this weekend was awesome. it was pretty much 85% bikeriding.
I wish I had a little mileage counter. it had to have been well over 50 for those 2 days.
o yea and I got in my first bike accident. It was actually kind of exciting. since I got sprawled out onto the concrete, but only got a cut on my elbow, and a little scratch on my side. good thing I was wearing my helmet though cuz my head banged into the other guys wheel, and my cheek bone is bruised. I didn't know he was there and he just was bolting through the intersection from behind me while I was turning. BAM.
you should probably be glad that my camera battery was dead last night. But it was another wonderful sunday downtown/skatepark bike ride. This girl Pam I met at our house warming party ended up riding with us for a little while cuz her boyfriend is friends with one of the guys. I remember when I met her I thought she was totally different than how I see her as now. we're going to ride bikes together soon.
I should probably stop writing in here soon, because I'm pretty sure for the rest of the summer it will consist of only bikes and people and how awesome they are, and pictures of course. But I like to remember.
