they're no good; still surrounding me; forcing my actions upon me;

The great news? My bike's back, and it runs. I just rode it back from the shop with tears in my eyes. Granted, that was because of the icy wind streaming past my glasses--remember, kids, you should always wear a helmet.

The bad news? The price tag hurts. It hurts my soul. I've now put twice as much money into that fucking thing than I could ever sell it for, and I hate it. It's mine for another goddamn year at least, because repairing it is still gonna be cheaper than replacing it. And I hate it.

But as long as it's over its thing where it tries to fucking kill me... maybe we'll get along. And stranding me places, and not starting, and making awful noises, and making me look like an idiot...

I hope they didnt instill it with some demon soul or something!

Congrats!

... Why would they have done that?!

Maybe it's grateful enough for its resurrection to be nice for a while~

[dudeinred.livejournal.com]

But it's evil. Is evil ever grateful?

[unicorn]

I do not know.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking it won't be. I'm thinking I must be wary.

[unicorn]

It might be manipulating you!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Trying to lure me into a false sense of security!

[unicorn]

CONSTANT VIGILANCE.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I WILL NEVER TRUST IT, NEVER

[unicorn]

No wonder you have such a bad working relationship.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

It hated me first.

[unicorn]

So mature. Can't you just forgive and forget?

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

It broke down in the middle of an intersection. On more than one occasion.

[unicorn]

I take that as a no.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

No. It's not only me! Bryce is the one that had to run into the middle of the street and try to help me start it!

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

You're reminding US to wear helmets?

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

I DON'T EVEN HAVE A BICYCLE!

...here, anyway.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Did you wear a helmet back at home~?

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

Most of the time, yes!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Huh. I haven't worn a helmet for a bicycle since I was... pffft, probably eight or nine. I doubt I even own one!

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

If your dad was a trauma surgeon, you damn betcha you'd wear a helmet. We get horror stories about these kinds of things.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

He traumaed you into behaving properly!

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

Yes. I do not want to be a VEGETABLE.
