me? soccer?
it finally happened. after weeks of avoiding playing soccer by being out of town and generally finding anything else to do, i finally played today. hey, it was kind of fun. i'm sunburned, and i'm awful, and i was hit in the groin three times, but it was kind of fun. i love being active and physical.

i also rode my bike today for the second time ever -- even though i've owned the thing for about a year. riding bikes in this city is sort of deadly, or so i thought. today, i verified my suspicions. holy crap. there's this intersection between my apartment and school where these two major roads merge. oh god. it was scary. people were actually laughing at me. well, i was laughing at myself, too!
