[004] Life - Or an Approximation of It.
Sorry, keep forgetting that this thing needs to be updated occasionally. I don't really have much going on that I'd like to talk about these days.

I did find an awesome desert track last weekend. Hurtling along on my bike around all the twists and turns has got to be the best stress relief I've had in awhile. I'm so glad it's finally warmed up enough that I can ride my bike around instead of taking my car. I even made $600 bucks off some guys wanting to race me before they deemed me crazy for going as fast as I did and refusing to go again. It was fun, though.

Also, I've discovered that [pastry shop] has probably the best chocolate cheesecake in the city. I'd say best ever, but my friends Jess and AJ back in my hometown have a shop that makes it better.

[Private to Self]

It honestly shouldn't hurt like it does. No amount of phone calls, too-rich cake, and reckless riding seems to be making it more tolerable. I can't even put it out of my mind when I run, and...that's saying something. And the fucking nerve of his brother to even suggest that I'd do that- Grrr. I know it's been awhile since I've had to prove my sincerity to anybody, but there was never a soul who'd even hint at impugning my honor in such a way. >( And this was between Izuna and myself, not him, so just...augh. But he wanted time, so...I'll give him his space. ...Hopefully I will get a phone call soon. Or convince myself that...that it's okay to move on. Hah. ...~~I'll just turn up my cell to max volume just in case.~~

I've spent a bit of time getting to know Naruto the past month or so. It's not as much of a stretch to chat with him in the hall or go with him when he gets ramen for lunch. He...really does seem like a good kid, but he's so closed off. I want to help, and it's so hard to hold back that instinct. :( *sigh* I've just got to believe it will work out...eventually.

	Are you a girl? Fucking Chocolate cheesecake. There was a slim chance you could actually be cool until you said that and proved you have a twat. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Who ever said you need to be female to enjoy a rather delicious cake? Pardon if the powder out of a box crap is not to my liking, I was unaware I had to like foods that tasted like stale cardboard in order to earn my penis. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You are recommending desserts, fag. You aren't Rachel Ray. You don't have a rack like that to distract people from how gay that is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	speedy_recovery 2010-04-14 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	If I find something good and can share that knowledge with others, I do so. I rather doubt there's going to now be a swarm overtaking the shop so I can't get my own cake when I want it, so I see no harm. And I never said that I didn't like men so your insults mean little. And fuck do I wish I could cook as well as Rachel Ray. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That is not covered by insurance if you injure yourself or the vehicle. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	speedy_recovery 2010-04-14 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	I know it isn't. Which is why I only indulge on occasion, and never with anyone else on the bike. I'm exceptionally more careful with a passenger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lost_but_found 2010-04-14 03:30 pm UTC (link)
	That is irresponsible. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	speedy_recovery 2010-04-14 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	Every now and then people sometimes need to do something a little irresponsible. With this, if I screw up, I'm the only one hurt by it. I would never be so irresponsible if I had someone else's safety in my hands. And it's once in a blue moon that I'm stressed enough to need to do something like that, so it's not common behaviour for me. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You destroy vegetation every time you do that with erosion. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It's an established track, not random riding in the desert - which would have been illegal. Nevada has quite a few laws in effect to protect our desert ecosystems, and I wouldn't have wished to violate any of them. Brush grows a couple meters outside of the railing in some places, but I assure you there hasn't been anything growing in the actual lanes for years. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilswalknstik 2010-04-14 03:49 pm UTC (link)
	I still will not accept behavior like that regardless of established track or not. If you had a good time then it was well served, but stating laws at me does not change what it still does to the environment. I hope you enjoy the money you made. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	speedy_recovery 2010-04-14 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	...How does it still harm the environment if the track has been there for a long time already? No, I'm not being a smartass - I'm actually curious. I didn't think it would effect anything in the surrounding areas, other than of course the emissions caused by any form of recreational driving regardless of where it's done.

	It was on a sanctioned track. No vegetation was disturbed, nor would I wish to do so. And I only pull stunts like that when I'm inordinately stressed, so I should hope I won't be wanting to do it more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	speedy_recovery 2010-04-14 03:45 pm UTC (link)
	Yep. I've had once since before I had a car, though it's a different one now. Can't ride it when it's too cold, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You race? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	speedy_recovery 2010-04-14 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	On occasion, if I can find someone. Usually only as stress relief, since all the guys I knew with bikes either had those stupid choppers or didn't know the first thing about being safe while going fast. ...Do you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	longshowers 2010-04-14 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	I drive a Ninja ZX-14. If I didn't race it, they'd take it away from me for abusing it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I would think speeding along on a motorcycle would be more stressful than stress relieving. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	speedy_recovery 2010-04-16 05:17 am UTC (link)
	Not once you know what you're doing. A novice might be a bit uncertain and that would add to the stress, but I've been riding so long that I don't even really have to think about it anymore. That, and I just really love going fast and feeling the wind whip by me. (Reply to this)(Parent)
