you get a funny feeling after talking to someone from miles and miles away... 1am at their place and 10am at your place. It's like being lost in time. I feel strange, I've never spoken to someone like that. I recommend it though, its nice to talk to people from every walk of life.

I have not written a journal entry for ages. Nothing and everything is changing. I am extremely busy with university work however life does catch up with us sometimes and it makes you stop and think. Then if you think, you must draw.

the boyf got me a mountain bike for our 3rd anniversary!!!!! am so happyyyyy..took ages for me to decide but we went there with a friend of ours who knew the owner, we even had a discount hehe just came back from trying it out (in a blistering hot sun). The gears feel so different from the normal gearless bike.. it took some practice but i got the hang of it in a minute. just need to fine tune some skills with it now. The bike has a different feel and I need to be able to manouvre it more confidently before I go for a ride in the streets. I also need to buy a bell and front and back lights. Eventually I'll also get a water bottle carrier and mudguards.

Let me fill you in:
size 41cm
21 speed
shamano v-brakes
26" wheels
double walled rims
front suspension
heavily padded ladies seat with suspensions
Brand: Ideal
Model: "Strike"
metallic blue colour

The only 2 things that are bothering me are:
- the brakes, they're squeaking. But I had a look on yahoo answers and many people encounter this problem on new bikes. The rubber in the brake pads probably needs to be worn down slightly before it stops sqeaking.

- my arms seem to be tiring quickly..are the handlebars too far away? I tried them in the shop, they seemed ok.. Maybe until I get used to them? Hope so :S well let's face it, I haven't been riding that much lately so maybe its until my arms get used to this..

the above Maltese saying: "good may come out of a bad thing"

well I suppose today is the case. A very depressed mood and loneliness gave rise to seven haiku in the space of an hour. As soon as I composed them and checked them, they were published here. I might come back tomorrow morning, re-read them and decide they're crap and remove them. But I *do* feel slightly better now.
