Nice! I was gonna mention scooters and motorcycles and forgot.

I'm actually planning to get a scooter (the Honda Jazz, specifically - because I like the way it looks and I trust Honda) eventually.

I can't have one where I live now, because it'll get stolen. No, really. It -will- get stolen. If I ever live in an apartment with an elevator so I can store the scooter inside (I live on the 3rd floor and I just can't see carrying it up 3 flights of stairs) it's SO on.

Just sayin'.

Yes.

NO we will all die! (I am obsessed with poop, just ask Nick. You don't want to know how many times a day I wash my hands. Make that "how many times an hour I wash my hands".)
