That's a picutre of me abusing a rental bike in Switzerland. It's not a very good picture but it's not my fault. I was on the bike.
When I see someone do a wheelie, I think to myself, "good job. I'm proud of you and I'd like to mentally thank you for entertaining me and brightening my day." It's taken me years to realize that that's not a normal reaction. I think most people think, "wreckless asshole." Some woman yelled at me a few days ago when I did a wheelie and it wasn't a yell of congratulation and joy.
Actually, I think the fact that it pisses everyone off makes it more fun. It certainly hasn't stopped me from doing it. I'm a dick.

before i had my surgery, i got to go through the hospital and meet a couple other kids who'd had the same surgery i was going to get. one girl had the same surgery as me and then had to lay in bed, without being able to sit up at all, for 6 months. the doctor's warned me "you may have to do that too." i told them "that's NOT going to happen." and thankfully, it didn't.
the full rods aren't so bad. i still slump in my own way. besides, i gained 2 and a half inches from it. instead of being 4'11", i'm 5'1". heh.
i'm curious, what kind of medications did they give you? i was on morphine at first, which gave me lovely dreams, but they took me off it cuz they said i was getting addicted and put me on demarol. the demarol sucked; exactly 5 seconds after i hit the button for a little more painkiller, i'd have to puke, and not having anything in my stomach made that an even more unpleasant experience. if i hadn't been so doped up, i would have been miserable.
i also got valium before surgery, since i'm afraid of needles, and tylenol 3 with codeine after i got out of hospital.
