wavesandmoon's words for Phil
Motorcycles
I'll be honest... I love motorcycles a little too much. I'm always thinking of the next one I want to get, looking at clothing reviews and shopping for new parts. I've logged 1600kms on my bike in two months and I can't get enough. I'm signed up for training and skill courses and I'm slowly getting to be quite good at riding. Even my fall last year did nothing to discourage me, only show me the wisdom in wearing every last piece of protective gear I can (and yeah, jeans are not nearly enough.)
Ottawa
My home, and the place of my heart! The place of my birth and I hope my home in the future...
I may have been called away for the time being, but I'm always reminded when I return that this is where I belong... with my family, friends and my past.
Pretentiousness
Thanks, Ash ;)
pre⋅ten⋅tious
/prɪˈtɛnʃəs/ [pri-ten-shuhs]
-adjective
1. full of pretense or pretension
2. characterized by assumption of dignity or importance
3. making an exaggerated outward show; ostentatious
Though I very much like the term, and often pretend to be entirely pretentious, it would seem, after all - that the definition proves me not. That said, ostentatious is the best word...ever.
Family
I'm not entirely sure what I'd do without my brother, and my family... life's not been that easy for the Webster's over the last twenty eight years of my life...
...but we got through, and I'm all the better for it.
I also consider most of my friends to be my family too.
