despair
Oh man. I am in mourning. My bike got stolen yesterday. I'd been riding almost every day for more than three years! Auugghhh you guys I am DEVASTATED. This is what it looked like:
My beautiful bike! I feel sort of trapped now... gonna have to get a second hand bike soon because I rode everywhere and having to bus it all over London sucks. Not to mention the Tube.
Well, it has crossed my mind that I am getting my comeuppance, evilmannequine , for being so attached to my stuff! I was enthusing about my fave things, and evidently the universe heard me being materialistic.
.
The meal with the community went well. I enjoyed it, and whenever I've been there I've walked out in an awesome mood. My cake didn't set though! It was kind of a pinky sploogy mess, but the vegan who didn't eat gluten or sugar pointed out he didn't get cake often anyway. I'll hear soon about whether I get invited to the next stage of another meal. I am reminding myself that I have no control over how other people see me. I am trying to tell myself this a lot. It's hard!
.
HEY, THOSE ON MY FLIST THAT ARE STILL READING. I love reading everyone's posts. I haven't had a good record of keeping typing on LJ, but I always read my friends page, and I ALWAYS appreciate getting feedback. I have had an LJ for four years now, I think? I feel like everyone on my flist is an invisible, unwitting actual friend. Whether you like it or not! (The creeper's creed.)

Has anyone ever lived in a commune/community/in some kind of communal situation? If you have, I would like to hear what you have to say about it.
