my stuff

i'm a statistic
2 ½ weeks into owning my lovely bike and guess what’s happened? Some little shit has stolen the back wheel. Fuckers.
I could easily go all rant, rant, rave, rave about it, but there’s no point really (shame I didn’t realise that until AFTER I threw my mobile phone across the bedroom in a range when Bandito told me what had happened, causing it to make a really weird pattern across the screen that will obviously not go away). No point getting all upset about it either (shame I didn’t realise that till AFTER I spent the first 1 ½ hours of knowing about it crying my eyes out and wailing pathetic things like ‘why me, why Mabel?’). I’ve just got to get on with it really eh? Worse things happen at sea (though I’ve never had anything nicked whilst at sea so maybe not). I have just got to get a new wheel, a new chamber for the gears, a new tyre, a new something or other and someone to fit it for me. It will only cost about £100. One hundred fucking pounds. Fuckers fuckers fuckers fuckers fuckers.
I have been saving up to buy some new clothes so I have some money kicking about but it’s really annoying because I want new trainers and a new pair of jeans. I’ve sent a really scary letter round all of my neighbours houses with the words ‘THIEVES KNOW OUR FRONT DOOR IS NOT LOCKED’, trying to cajole them out of their denial and into doing something about getting an intercom system fitted (honestly, we must be the only block in Edinburgh that doesn’t have an intercom system).
The worst thing is that while me and Bandito were in bed reading last night WE HEARD THE FUCKERS. We thought it was our pipes rattling but it was our railings rattling (I’d locked the bike up to some railings in our block at the bottom of the stair well) as they fucked about trying to get my wheel off.
At least it wasn’t the whole bike, I’d be even more upset about that. So, no more fanny bashing for a while.
In other news, my friend LB had a baby boy yesterday and I nearly poked a big stick through my entire lower body as I walked through the woods collecting wood for the camp fire at the weekend AND this is my 199th entry and I was going to do something for my 200th but I need a special cable to do it and I was going to buy it today but now I have to buy a new wheel and all those other bits, so I’m not going to do it so I will have to think of something else, but it won’t be as good but that’s alright because it’s not that big a deal anyway.
Anyone who fancies cheering me up will be rewarded by a much cheerier entry next time.
