i usually catch the 195 bus at 8.29am. tho in typical public transport fashion, the buses can be anywhere from 5-10minutes late, and on those really freaky days could actually be a few minutes early.
today i got ready for work earlier than usual (probably the excitement of it being Tort Thursday. mmmmmmm) so i ended up at the bus stop about 8.23am. there was supposed to be a 191 bus at 8.25am. but of course it was not on time.
in peak hour traffic there are two kinds of buses... ones that go thru the Ivory Street tunnel, skipping the Valley and getting to the city super duper quickly, and then there are the ones that still go thru the valley and have to compete with all the city bound traffic from the north. the 191 is one of the valley buses and i would prefer NOT to catch one of those.
i look at my watch as the 191 pulls up. its definately close to 8.29am. i stick my head out and try to see up the road if the 195 is on its way. like i said, altho its SUPPOSED to be at my stop at 8.29am it often isn't.
so my diliema... do i get on this 191? or do i wait and risk being late for torts because the 195 is late? oh what the heck, i take a risk and jump on the bus.
oh great, some chick is fishing around in her purse trying to find change. i have found a seat and we still haven't moved. i turn around and look out the back window just as the 195 comes into sight and yes, it passes us. FUCK! it didn't stop at my stop because we had all gotten on the 191.
we take off.... i'm silently cursing the world and the public transport system. oooh my day looks up as i spy a guy a few seats ahead of me. he looks cute, nice funky clothes. of course i am only seeing the back of his head, and just enough of his jaw and cheek to think he might be cute. so now i'm silently trying to will him into turning his head enough so i can get a good perv.
2 stops up, we are about 100 metres behind the 195 bus. the bus i was SUPPOSED to be on. i'm still staring intently at this potentially cute guy's head. we pull up quite suddenly and everyone lurches forward. stupid bus drivers. i dont think anything of it.
the 195 in front of us is stopped, and as we slowly move forward, i look out the window to see a car that had been coming out of a car park driveway, and its surrounded by people all studying the front of the car. hey! there is my regular 195 bus driver OUT of his bus. i dont know what happened, but the front of that car is a bit smooshy, its not spose to look like that is it?
everyone is staring out the window and much to my disapointment that guy wasn't cute at all. what a rip off. nice clothing and he looked potentially so good from behind. what a let down. so it looks like the car was coming out of the driveway, stuck its nose out too far, and the bus swiped it.
SHIT! if i had waited and hailed the 195 when it was at my stop, it would have pulled up, and I would have said hi to my driver and gotten on. maybe 5-10 seconds. then he has to take off again. that would have slowed him down another 5 seconds. but because i got on the other stupid bus, the 195 didn't stop at my stop and then it swiped a car only about 300 metres down the road.
i felt really bad coz the 195 driver is really nice. how many times has the bus already pulled away from the stop and is sitting at a red light just as i'm sprinting across the road. he ALWAYS lets me on. other bus drivers are such cunts and wont let you on even the second after they have pulled away from the curb.
other shit: i signed up to a roommates website and have been getting a tonne of responses from various people. i swear its like a dating website. people have photos of themselves and nony and i have been laughing at some of these people. some people put up the worst photos, or write the lamest descriptions about themselves. and there are heaps of foreigners looking for places. and you know what that means? HOT FOREIGN BOYS!
hehehe. but seriously, there have been some decent sounding people so far. there is one german girl who is absolutely gorgeous in her photo. and she sounds really lovely on email. but i want her to move in so we can become friends and then i'll have this gorgeous friend i can parade around with. she can be my key to all the hot places and even hotter boys. i think my logic is flawed tho. somehow it makes sense in my mind- surround yourself with the pretty people and like the bellcurve, it will somehow bring your prettiness up! tho everyone thinks i'm insane and i have it all backwards... ugly friends make you look better. hmmmm not sure. teeheehee
anyway i am excited, and really hope i can find some great girls to live with. plus more female companionship, girly times etc. i've liked having nony around, having a female always close by.
