Hubris

Hubris is saying 'full speed ahead' (or I don't know) when you probably shouldn't.

Hubris is Victor in Frankenstein.

Hubris is me laughing like an idiot when I thought about how my bike has, in all four years of living here, never been stolen. 

That, and shrugging my shoulders when neglecting to get the serial number, make, and model for the only reason I ever made it to class (in warm weather).

THAT, and thinking that I wouldn't need a U-lock, that a rope lock slightly thicker than my thumb would do the trick.

Anyway.
