ride in peace

I got a bike! I finally did it! I've been super addicted to riding even though I haven't been on a bike in so long. I woke up super early this weekend just to go for a ride while there were minimal cars on the road and through the prettier neighbourhoods in the area. Checking out the pretty little houses is always fun, especially when you can stop and gawk for a bit and easily stop to smell the roses, literally.

After that I headed over to the Hollywood Forever cemetery since it is right by my apartment. It was finally open at 7ish so I rode in. It was nice and quiet. I got to say hello to the peacocks and the ducks...and the headstones of those who died in the early 1900's. They were all the way in the back, dilapidated and small. Oddly enough, the girl who is afraid of death enjoyed being around the graveyard and saying hello to headstones, wondering how the young ones died, telling this one and that one that I admire their name.

I wish I took pictures but none from that ride.

Rode to work today for the first time. It was kind of scary but fine minus the angry homeless man who blocked my way on the sidewalk and proceeded to yell at me in front of Kings Road Cafe right in front of the breakfasters. Then he threw his cigarette at me. I didn't know what to say. I didn't say anything bc he was close to pushing me. I just rode off and slinked away into a a little neighbourhood, in shock for a bit. I almost started to cry but stopped myself. He could've done worse and I'm sure I will encounter worse since LA drivers aren't too fond of bike riders...nor are some of the pedestrians. Lame.
