A Guy would be Lucky to Come in Fourth

Sometimes I honestly think the quad's relationship is verging on slightly unhealthy - the quad being Al, Anya, B and I. Today I was walking from the GSU to the beach and I saw Al come around the corner - and I knew it was her even before I realized it was her because my heart skipped a beat when I saw her bright turquoise running shirt. It took all my restraint not to squeak an "eek!" and run up to her. I had to at least PRETEND I wasn't stoked out of my mind to see her when it wasn't planned.

I think they give me the mindset of a policeman; if I ever got pulled over my allibi would be, "...It's the sunglasses." And, as the policeman would be wearing aviators too, he would understand. Which brings me to a question: do speed limits count for bikes? Multiple times I've questioned this when I'm going down Highland in 37 when the MPH sign CLEARLY says 35. Do speedometers even read bike ...
