Eight

I've been tagged by Devious Steve O a few days ago. How dare you! :-)
Anyway, here we go.

The Rules: List 8 things about yourself. At the end of the post, tag and link to 8 other people. Leave a comment at those sites, letting them know they’ve been tagged, and asking them to come read the post so they know what to do.

  1. I'm very generous, but I get very upset and bitchy when someone draws on my generosity.
  2. I think that if everyone would be a little bit less selfish, world would be much better.
  3. I fight for other people's right without any fear of reprisals. However, I can't stand up for my own rights at all.
  4. I wish I could speak Spanish, Italian or French.
  5. I wish I could meet some of the people that are on my blogroll.
  6. My favorite TV show was "Friends", runner-ups: "How I met your mother", "Golden Girls", "The Nanny".
  7. I haven't been in a McDonalds, Burger King, or similar establishment in one entire year.
  8. My most recent obsession is my bike. Biking is sooo much fun. I wish I had discovered this fun earlier.

I'm not obeying by the rules strictly, I'm not tagging anybody, since almost all bloggers I would tag have already been tagged by someone else. If you want to do this meme, feel free to do so.

I believe I can fly ...

This evening I did a strange thing. Well, there are thousands who are doing it all the time. I'm sure my readers do it regularly, at least some of them. I suppose more than a million people in the world are doing it this very instant. But ... you know my "situation", and that I haven't done it in a long time.

But I'm still excited. It was so much fun. Now I understand why people literally get addicted to it. It was fabulous. But now my butt really hurts, but they told me it happens a lot when it's the first time. Well, it's not my first time, I did it avidly when I was younger, but I didn't do it in a long time. And now I'm wondering, why does something sooo lovely and enjoyably hurt so much afterwards. But they told me that you get used to it quite quickly. I hope they're right.

What?! I heard that!

Get your mind out of the gutter. I was talking about the cool new bike I've bought today. It was WAY more expensive than what I wanted to spend, but it's a fabulous bike and totally worth it. I wasn't riding a bike in almost 7 years, but I decided to start again, and it is sooo much fun. It's almost like flying.

A friend once said that he wanted to be buried with his bike. Now I understand what he meant. It's really great. I'm a little bit scared by the traffic, since I grew up in a small lovely village in paradise the mountains, and there was no traffic at all.
