When someone does something nice for you, and turns around and uses it for leverage. They do it out of what seems sheer kindness, and the next day say "Do this and consider it payment for what I did for you earlier." GAH. At first, you're like "Whoa, this is really really nice of them!" and they go up a notch in your book. And then you go "I should've figured you wouldn't have been some selfless..." And they get bumped down three. Makes me wish I had made a snarky comment when it gets turned around on me.
In other news, I flew off my bike this week. I was going stupid-fast around a corner and my back end swung out a bit and hit a railing. It was quite surreal to be able to think, "Huh, I'm in free fall right now. This should be interesting..." I think I landed correctly, though. Judging by the scratch on my elbow and damage to my foot I got off without any other injury. I think I rolled out of it like I used to practice falling in karate. It's one of those things I never really expected that I'd be able to use effectively, and when it came down to the split-second reaction I did. Or at least I think I did. Who knows, maybe I just was lucky to hit in a safe-ish position. Oh well, the best part of the whole ordeal was when my bike handlebars hit the pavement and my bell went "Ding!" It sounded like quite the contrast to what happened.
Anyways, I've been researching cars. Lots of Civics and Precidias. I gotta go cheap, and I gotta go new. I guess that rules out all the Porsches, but I guess that'll come in the future. I'm looking in the $6000-$8000 range - Hopefully that'll get me a decent enough ride that'll last me through school with minimal maintenance. Being poor, here I come. We'll see how it ends up, though. I need to get a car soon so that it can be insured for a month before I move back home. That way I don't have to pay sales tax. Oh well, worse comes to worst, I can always look for cars when I get back.
Anyhoo, things I should do sooner than later:
-Figure out how to register for the fall semester
-Cancel medical coverage
-Comic website
-prairie drawing
Moving across provincial borders suck. At least it's not across international ones...
-Cril
I bought me an auto, an '81 Ford Escort Wagon
Now the fan it be broke and the tail-pipe it be draggin'
I feel like a schlemiel, my mechanic's fit for hangin'
I got to go to Rust Check , 'bout the price I'll be hagglin'
I can't drive it home because the muffler it be saggin'
Got a car full of pain
