There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilisations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours.

To love is to be vunerable. Love anything, and your heart will definitely be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenettable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of Love is Hell.

Aiyoh... Look far look far. Figure 8's secret is to look at the next turn, not where you're turning...
agreed as to what vandice is saying. also.. dont go too slow or else you'd lose momentum.. lean your body left and right inoder to get the momentum.. you'd find yourself going faster and faster towards the end of figure 8.. just dont lose your balance.. thats how you'd do it.. pure instinct
Vandice, Maximus> Thanks, I've passed.
BTW, "pure instinct" is NOT good advice. How can people learn pure instinct?
Von> Thanks!!! Its never too late!!!
