Update on Rose!
March 16th 2007 12:55
I am so sorry to all my readers that have been waiting with bated breath to hear about the whereabouts of Rosie. Well, you'll all be happy to hear that she has been found! Due to my lack of experience I had managed to park her in front of a "reclamer" (advertisement) and the politie took her away. They took her to a bicycle's paradise: AFAC in North Amsterdam. Took me 3/4 hour and E8 to get out there...and when I arrived...Jezzzus! There were SO MANY bikes! Thousands and thousands, in rows and rows, covering an entire field. So I went in and explained my troubles and they took me outside and there she was! She actually looked better than she did when I lost her, so being incarcerated (or should that be inbikerated) did her some good. I was fined E10 and they cut my lock so I needed another one of those so the mistake cost me E30, but wow the reunion was great. I would HATE Amsterdam without Rose. She defines the Dam for me. She's been around longer than most of its inhabitants (except the really old ones). Besides, you can't live here without a bike, you may as well be somewhere else.
This blogging lark is quite easy isn't it? No wonder people end up writing screeds of nonsense on the internet in the hope that SOMEONE might read what their wee brains are thinking. I know that no one will read this so I am quite confidently mumbling along and thinking about topics. I actually have to write a paper on Malawi and climate change so this is a lengthy distraction.
The thing I wonder is whether this internet blogging determines my individuality or whether it illustrates that I am just like everyone else. Let's be frank, most people would write what interests them, in such a way that they are happy with how they sound and what image it sends of them. Yet there aren't many blogs I would be bother to read, they are only the ramblings of a person who thinks their thoughts are important enough to record and one day someone might say "good god how right are you!? you should be elevated to the status of an internationally renowned writer on all things human- basically tell us what you think about stuff". People who have this status include Alan de Botton and Bill Bryson, both of whom deserve without reservation the kudos. But the rest of us- BORING.
