FUCK these buses

okay, today was my first venture into the world of the seattle public transportation system and it is NOT going well.  i was standing at the bus stop and got flustered when i only had to wait for 2 minutes before a bus pulled up (the website said it would take 10).  so i forget to look at the bus number and realized 45 minutes later that i was on the wrong bus.  this was after a crazy old woman sat across from me for 10 minutes and mimicked every one of my gestures: i scratch my nose, she scratches hers.  i cough, she coughs.  i take my bag and set it on my lap, she does the same.  this went on until she got off (thank god).  then some fat, smelly kid sits next to me and starts chomping his gum and SLOBBERING everywhere.  it was so gross that i moved seats to look at a bus schedule and pretend that i understood what it said.  then some guy started talking to himself, which was where i drew the line and decided to get off, which was good because a bunch of high schoolers were getting on and i'm honestly terrified of youths, so i guess it worked out for the best.

now i'm sitting in a starbucks in wedgewood (like, 45 minutes from where i want to be) listening to two old mean talk about the artistic integrity of porn ('some have value, but at my age i just want tits') while seamlessly switching to conversations about their dogs, dead wives, and grandchildren.  i hope to be one of them some day, all wrinkled and horny and drunk off of caffeine-free coffee.

wish me luck, i'm going to try and find way out of this hell hole, this 'wedgewood.'

OH a lesbian just walked in.  take that hoodie off, lady, we can still tell that you have breasts.
