I thought I'd take the scooter out for a bit of a joyride, seeing as I haven't used it in over a month. Sure, it'd be cold, but if you bundle up it's really not that bad ( Read more... )

My motivation is all screwed up; I have an easier time waking up early on little sleep for a Glee Club gig than for class or work. Then again, I don't get free trips by going to class or work.
