Well, I guess you can say that I'm back, and what a day it has been too. After an hour or so of studying with the love, we took a break and went bladeing in the park. Since my early teems I've loved roller bladeing and I even was on a team one upon a time. That didn't last long though as soon as my parents found out they made me quit with the excuse that it would get in the way of my studies. Now that I look at it, they were never to fond of my skating days, But of course they went on that one excuse alone. I knew the real reason though; they had come across some information from former teammates parents. This new trend or whatever about teenage runaways who started grouping together to form" Skater gangs."These gangs of kids also known as ruddies now go around causing mischief and butting heads with the Rokkaku police. "I'll never let Yumi even fall into the same category!" I had heard my mother say. I can understand where she is coming from, but that is still a stupid reason to make me quit something I love. Can't she see that I am nothing like those misfits? I unlike them will make something of myself, I'm even going to college next fall to become a doctor, which is something they talked me into doing. So why should they even put me and those kids in the same league? Even so, I still blade when I have the time and today was the perfect day. I really don't know what it is about rollerblading, but it gives me a sense of freedom. Now that I think about it, maybe that's how those other kids feel and thus they do it for that reason. So I guess I can say that those ruddies and I have something in common, But that one reason alone is the only thing we ever will have.
