Well, it's only a matter of time now. My dad said I'd have to wait a couple of weeks, but he's pretty sure that he wants to get me a scooter!!! Nothing could work out better. I didn't think it would be possible, thought it would be a long shot. Though, it reminds me that in the end pragmatism always wins out, ya. The only concern he had was me getting turned into flat-ariel-pancakes by oncoming SUVs, I am pretty sure I will be alright, though. I wear some pretty eyecatching colors. Plus, I rode one a bit in india (shhh... that's supposed to be a secret... because it broke a lot of rules for me to do so), and if I can ride it there, then I can ride one anywhere.
