Be Extraordinary.

I don't wanna be the same as everybody else...

“In every big-budget science fiction movie there's the moment when a spaceship as large as New York suddenly goes to light speed. A twanging noise like a wooden ruler being plucked over the edge of a desk, a dazzling refraction of light, and suddenly the stars have all been stretched out thin and it's gone. This was exactly like that, except that instead of a gleaming twelve-mile-long spaceship, it was an off-white twenty-year-old motor scooter. And you didn't have the special rainbow effects. And it probably wasn't going at more than two hundred miles an hour. And instead of a pulsing whine sliding up the octaves, it just went putputputputput ... VROOOOSH. But it was exactly like that anyway.” - Neil Gaiman

It was my usual model's review day at school today, excellent report from the teacher as usual. Then I had a wisdom tooth out this afternoon, after waiting an hour past my appointment time I was feeling a bit twitchy. But it just popped right out, I have to be honest it is smarting a bit now. Walking back to my car in the horrendous rain, minus an umbrella, I spotted this little scooter parked in the Uni grounds, and as today's letter is V and this is a Vespa....Bob is as they say, your uncle.

V is for Vespa.
