bleh

well i really don't like how that last post came out. i'm all rusty and unbloggified. the only honorable way to erase that post is to bury it under a storm of new posts, all well written, entertaining, and informative, obviously.

fortunately, i had a nice little bike ride today, so i can blab about that a bit, and about some boring stuff i thought about whilst biking.

first off, my favorite short, bearded, bespectacled asian walking buddy (we're imaginary buddies, though both of us are real people) was on a bike today. yay semi-stranger! i meant to congratulate him, but it just didn't happen.

while i was busy not congratulating a guy i don't really know for getting a bike (and had we not been moving in opposite directions, and had we been actual buddies instead of imaginary buddies, i'd have joshed him well-meaningly about getting some skinny tires, dammit), i was thinking, for reasons i now cannot remember (truly, this is gripping writing) that i spent the first third of my life desperately attempting to fit in, the second third of my life acknowledging failure in that arena, and actively not fitting in, and it seems that in this third third of my life, i'm synthesizing the two approaches by truly (as opposed to those who say it but don't mean it) not caring about fitting in to anything, except on special occasions when i do care, at which times i frequently meet with the sort of smashing success that would have driven 15 year old me matcha-green with envy.

HOW WAS THAT FOR A RUN ON SENTENCE?

pretty good, i think, yet otherwise, there is no fault with it.

there are donuts here, courtesy of the in-laws (who during a past visit accused us of simple mindedness for not knowing there was a donut shop two blocks from our apartment). i find that i do not want a donut. i really ought to want one, i haven't had more than three donuts in five years, but i have no urge to try one, despite being just back from my bike ride. maybe next time.
