Ow.

My ass hurts. Why, you ask? Because after being convinced for 17 years that I couldn't, I finally learned how to ride a bicycle. And now I'm addicted. Can't stop riding to save my ass.
Now, if I could just learn how not to go into the ditch or run into trees.

Now I don't feel so bad about not having learned to ride a bike until I was, like, 7. *ducks* But I still can't swim, if that makes you feel better.

I can't swim either! Do people treat you like you're some kind of mutant because of it?

MUTANT!

If you're never going to be in a boat or near any large body of water, then it probably doesn't matter. But, I think if you did fall in a large body of water and didn't panic, you'd be fine. Panicking is what gets people.

Well, I grew up next to the Pacific ocean, heh. But I've got this thing where I don't mind being IN water, but I can't have it go over my head. Like I can't be submerged, you know? So I never get in any situations where I have to know how to swim.

I never learned how to ride a bike. I tried and tried, but I just never got it. I certainly wouldn't try now, either.

It's a lot easier than I thought it was, but I still run into trees. Thankfully, the field next to my house is big, and grass doesn't hurt so bad when I fall. :D

Get a granny seat. They are broader and more cushioned. Because of my back problems, my mom got me one. My ass never hurts. Just my upper back. haha.

I'll do that once I get my own bike. :) Thanks for the idea. (Right now I'm riding Jeff's Mongoose, but I saw one at Wally World I really adored for like, fifty bucks or so.)

Isn't that a Rasputina lyric? I could swear that it is.
