Not too old, not too young. Just right.

Brim is still alive and kicking, though out to pasture. I have a new Noble Steed now.

Oh, and on the subject of memories...

Arctic Penguin, ASCENT!

... That is all. ;)

I used to love my bike....
who could forget the time I decided to go down a steep hill as fast as I could, without using the brakes at all, only to run straight into the back of a 4x4 truck? Another superb example of my amazing IQ.

And Brimstone hasn't died yet?

1. I'm a bit surprised at all the people in my age group. I always thought the demographics for the PPC swung a bit younger.

Russian Caravan-black and smoky. Best stuff there is.

It adds a nice sort of nuttiness to it, and it feels thicker than with just milk.

Welcome to the PPC! Here's a special shield from the Raven Armory.

Honestly, I can't stand the taste of white tea; I've tried different fruit blends with the stuff, but anything that starts with white tea just doesn't do it for me.

Yeah, I wouldn't fancy it by itself. With strawberry it's alright though. And handy for when we run out of milk, because I won't drink black tea (as in milkless). I've seen what it does to my cup, I don't want to think how fast it'd make my teeth brown.

So no fish and chips, no egg butties, and no tea?

I'll just be over here in the corner, making disconsolate clucking noises and muttering about the loss of moral fibre and the need to bring back national service. :P

...but is also singing "Where There's A Whip, There's A Way". Because it's a very silly song.

She would put so much sugar into her tea that it seemed to be more sugar than tea.

I'll leave it to you to decide whether that's centuries or life-ages of the universe.

I will drink an herbal tea when I am not feeling good or a mint tea when I need to clear my sinuses. I like a fruity tea when I am in the mood for it.

She's got a luggage rack and I'm planning to put thingies on to make her more steampunkier. I've already got a squirrel skull.

1st Accident

I was just learning how to ride a bike and we figured it was safe to do in the backyard. At the time we were constructing a shed, so both parents and an uncle were in the yard to keep an eye on me. Our backyard is situated on a hill, a perfect way to learn to control your bike as your gaining speed. Well, I went down the hill and fell straight into a horseshow spike. I fell onto it and bruised the inside of my thigh and got my ankle caught in the bike chain.

2nd Accident

This was several years later. I was out riding with one of my sisters around the block in our neighborhood. We had to go in since I was going to a sleepover with a friend that night. We figured one more time around the block wouldn't hurt, but we agreed to turn it into a race. The way it would work was that we would start in the same spot but we would go in different directions. We made it to the far corner at the same time and were trying to turn the corner at the same time. Unfortunately, we both decided to go the same way when we turned. My front wheel met her back wheel and while she went down, I went over the handlebars. I scrapped up both my knees and elbows. The only thing she got was a small bump on the head, despite wearing a helmet.

1 Near Mishap

You always hear about people who run over animals in their car. Well, I had the distinct pleasure of almost running over an animal while on my bike. I saw it just in enough time to stop before I hit the chipmunk. When I looked down, there was probably a few centimeters between my front tire and the chipmunk.

Those few incidents were enough to teach me to be a lot more careful on my bike.

Actually, I can't, but I love my bike anyway. It is blue.

Hm...favorite bike story? When I was first learning to ride, I had training wheels and no matter how much my parents tried to convince me, I refused to take 'em off. So one day my mom "accidentally" ran over them in her van, and with no help whatsoever I took 'em off, hopped on, and started pedaling around.

And then there's the time I almost fell off a cliff my first time riding my current bike...went over a rock weird, got thrown, and was semi-dangling and flipping out a bit until my brother came to pull me up. This is why we bike in pairs, yes.

Personally, I prefer the concentrate of Oregon Chai's vanilla chai. If you want to add a little bit more...well, flavour, I guess, I also suggest trying it with soy milk. It takes some getting used to, but after a while you get kinda hooked. ^_^

O.o

Make it go awaaaaay....

I'm hoping to assemble a PPC fanmix, burn a few CDs and bring them to the next Gathering - speaking of which, is the first week in September good for everyone?

Anyway, need help assembling the music. I figure the Men in Black theme tune would work. The Decemberists' "The Tain" would work as the PPC Emergencies theme song - it's eighteen minutes of pure unadulterated awesome, including the wonderful threat to "bleed your heart through a samovar soon" (a samovar being a type of Russian kettle, as far as I can tell). Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" would be a good Bleeproducts advertising tune. Any more?
