LA VIE BOHEME

I want to share my written works with people who will give both praise and constructive criticism. I'm also going to be updating my friends and family, in short, everyone I love, on what my life is like abroad. Once I leave that is.

Motorbike Ride

Alright, let's see if I can give my mom a heart attack. Haha.

Today I went on a motorbike expedition to purchase a bike, fish food, and other things. I will describe to you the thoughts that were swirling through my mind during this life/death experience. Hold on tight, here goes!

I love this, motorbikes are so cool I wish I could ride these all the time. WOW! What was that? River, fruit, SPEED BUMP hold on tight. teeth rattttttttttleeeee. Ok, wow, they should really re-pave that road. this is so cool this is so cool this is- aaaah! Turning in to a bus! Oh my god! We made it. Safe. I love this I love this I- aaaaah! Wrong side of the road holding on for dear life holding on for dear life hold- ooook. Safe. Steady flow of traffic. Man this is great. I could do this for ages. Ooh, neat little store. Slowing down (but not stopping) at a light. Loosen my grip a little. Relax...aah! Sudden burst of speed. Warn me next time! Pete, you could lose your passenger that way! Heart beating frantically. Ooook...calm again. I'm really enjoying this. Wow! Swerving dangerously, mounting the sidewalk. Eek! Smiling like crazy. Shut your mouth foreigner. Open mouth equals bugs and grit in teeth. Ok, trying to smile with mouth shut. i must look really odd. Haha. Bump! Off the sidewalk. Weaving in and out of traffic. Mounting new sidewalk. Halt. I swing my leg over and dismount. Whew.

Haha, guess what? That was only the ride there. I still get to ride home! YES!!!

WOW! That sounds fantastic! Take me with you!

Contra was lame-again. Bergen and Evan are tying the knot June 1! What else?

Might be a Sadie Hawkins Dance at school next month.

Your mom's so excited for you. It's awesome.

The sunrises here really HAVE been gorgeous lately. It's enchanting. Your sunrise should be up and coming, as it's almost 6 in the morning.

Wish me luck on AP Gov exam tomorrow and have fun at your first day!

So, so funny.........NOT! I guess you made it home because Pete wrote and spoke of how fun the time/ride w/ you was. He, however, did not feel the need to dramatize the experience on (or off!) road. Ha ha yourself. It was a great description, however exaggerated. So glad you are happy, love. I can feel it! Hope to hear from you after school. On 2nd thought, wait till around dinner time, as your after-school will be my 3 a.m. I love you, buuuuuuuuuut...it can wait! Go get em' sweetie!
