when you want something, the best way to get it is often the most direct one. but sometimes acting in such a straightforward is not an option, and so one must think about alternative ways, and take all the opportunities avaliable. and sometimes those opportunities happen by pure chance, and we must have our eyes open and do not hesitate when they present themselves to us. so the first step has been taken. it was not the obvious approach, but my days as knight-in-shiny-armour are long since gone - thus, riding into that would be plain stupid (or not, but i'm not going to be the one trying it anyway). let's see where will i get from here.
