- I hate unwrapped drops, and risers with tape instead of grips.
- I sent my brand new Godzilla frame to get powdercoated immediately after it arrived, despite the high quality paint job. Sorry Toyo!
- I have a trick fork but I can't do barspins yet. Sad face.
- I spend too much money for aesthetics.. I make it fit my budget by eating horribly and never going out to shows/cafes/society.
- I'm the only girl I know who never wears makeup or expensive jewelry. All my money is spent on bills and bike parts and my closest friends are my dogs. I love my life.

Rock on, fellow sqrls! I have to admit, I do love makeup and jewelry (although most of my jewelry is costume or from the thrift store). But it's only recently that I have enough $$ to spend on those things AND still have enough for bikes and other stuff. And I read too many fashion blogs and bike blogs which always makes me want to spend more money. Getting old sucks sometimes, but not having to live paycheck to paycheck is nice.
