replacing the wheels and the brakes cost me about 8400yen

JESUS I've never paid that much for a whole bike! Why didn't you just buy a new one??

murasaki_kaze June 15 2010, 02:43:37 UTC

Because it's like 12,000yen for a new "cheapo" bike? And thus was not worth it.

They recommended me getting a new one, but they basically fixed everything wrong with it anyway so it's like getting a new bike for cheaper. That and I loathe the cheapo bikes since I bike up and down major hills everyday.

theosakakoneko June 15 2010, 02:44:35 UTC

Ah yes that would be why then! XD haha
I always had cheapo bikes XD

murasaki_kaze June 15 2010, 03:16:15 UTC

Yeah, I wish I could get one, but those work better for in-city. Out where I am, you've got hills galore and the tiny bikes really don't work.

NO. I am drunk, and therefore lovey. *hugs*

And I have no idea how much 8400yen is in dollars, but at least it's fixed now? Hopefully nothing like that will happen again. D:< Can't have random Kazes being hit by even more random cars now, can we? <3

murasaki_kaze June 15 2010, 03:17:15 UTC

About 86 or 89&USD. And haha, I can hope. They say bad things come in threes, right? This is my second time getting hit off my bike.

sunsingergirl June 15 2010, 03:25:19 UTC

That's not bad! Brand new bikes here can go for around $200 and up! And you're used to this bike, so you know how it is, and you don't have to break in a new one? :D

:/ ...hopefully, there won't be a third time.

murasaki_kaze June 15 2010, 05:43:48 UTC

Yeah, I remember buying bikes in America is expensive. Got mine stolen once and had to get a new one. Bikes here can be pretty bad, too, but they're mostly road bikes without gears which makes it a little better. And yep! No need to break in a new bike, just make sure I don't break the old one.

And I hope not. That would suck.

If you have access to cheapy vodka and a spray bottle, it'll kill the mold on the clothes, and it dries odorless (yay, clear spirits!). It's what I do to my clothes when we get our wet part of summer.

murasaki_kaze June 15 2010, 05:46:07 UTC

Ooh, okay! I'll see if they don't have any at the liquor store near my house.

You always have the best solutions. ;3;♥

I unashamedly swiped it from a mom blog a couple years back.

murasaki_kaze June 16 2010, 05:44:26 UTC

Mom blogs are awesome. I commend you, sir. o/

oh my god D: i'm so glad you're ok falskjdflkjf ._.

murasaki_kaze June 15 2010, 05:47:17 UTC

Yep! I'm not dead yet! :D

noriko_chijinu June 15 2010, 16:27:28 UTC

Kaze por que! Please be careful bb! ;o;

I think worrying about what work is now is important, so don't stress about the future too much. Worry about it later. 8D;

murasaki_kaze June 16 2010, 05:48:37 UTC

No idea, bb. No idea. It just happens. And I will try to be!

Hahah, yeah, that's what I wish I could do, but since I'd need to apply for grad schools this year in order to make it in time for next year after I get back - or this year for here if I decide to stay, I kind of need to think about it. |D
