I am so totally STOKED!!! As of last Saturday I got my shiny motorbike and I absolutely love it! It's a red Yamaha YBR125, just a little thing until I pass my test and get the confidence to ride a bigger one, but right now it's my lickle motor of wonderfulness and is so much fun to ride.

The first day I got it I was terrified Went onto the road, wobbled, stalled it, corners were horrific. And I was thinking that it was amazing I'd even survived a lesson up until this point, but it's funny what not having an instructor behind you can do. I've been able to ride since April 2007 but kept telling myself I wouldn't get a bike until I pass my test, now that I have one I feel silly for thinking that. I can finally go places! Quickly!

I went out for a ride on Tuesday evening and it was great, a real confidence booster. There were hardly any cars out, but lots of bikers and it felt really nice. I bet it'll feel even nicer when I stop irritating other people with my slow-riding technique...

Next step is working towards my test and getting closer to my perfect ride, but right now I couldn't be happier with my little YBR. Everytime I start it up it's like whooooooooosh super mega happy fun joy time!!

On a side note, Super Smash Bros Brawl is very fun... Not that I doubted it would be. I'm keeping my own in online matches but I'm nowhere near the best, but hey I won my first ever online match so that'll do me, it doesn't matter how many times I lose now Makes up for my bitter defeat in the Pokémon tournament all those years ago...

Also, saw Hancock last night. I thought it was going to be a Will Smith/Superman rip off but I couldn't have been anymore wrong. It's got good reviews for a reason, so I recommend it if you like action films or want to just stare at the lead actor!

Take care~
