I get bored easily.



Two weeks after my declaration, I purchased a skateboard.

To be specific it's a longboard, sector 9 with a pretty picture of the ocean on the back. Had fun trying it out front, but still having a hard time with turning. But I'm a little scared to fall on concrete when noone's around so I'm saving the tough stuff for later. haha
This crazy new idea cost a plane ticket... but.. I think it's worth my sanity. I somehow keep dreaming about skateboarding recently. Plus, I'm so motivated ever since a skate shop guy thought I was nuts and my own boyfriend think I'm nuts. Don't ever tell me I can't do something since it almost always motivates me to do it :)

I'm having a lot of fun so far. This venture is also part of my decision to stop being afraid of falling and making mistakes... a bad habit that plagued me for ages. Granted, falling on concrete is reason to be afraid. But I have my helmet. And I can stand while it rolls without falling. That is already a thumbs up. I hope this lasts a while... I have to make up the $300...

If you can climb so many trees successfully, I'm sure you wouldn't get that hurt on a skateboard. Plus, there are always helmets and those elbow and knee pads. :-)
