the dumb weather
i didn't go to school today. apparently it was open, but trying to catch the bus was almost a disaster. I first noticed at about 8 that no buses were driving by the bus stop. when i went down at the usual time there were two peeps standing there and a guy came up to tell them that they should find a different bus to ride because all of the 5's were stuck up the street. so i went inside and checked the tracker. time was a'tickin and i knew that if i didn't catch a bus soon it would be pointless to go to school because i'd be really late.
i went down again and this girl said "m'am (i hate when people call me m'am, especially if i'm the same age or younger then they are) the bus isn't coming down this street. everyone is catching it at the corner." so i stand there thinking about what i should do and i look back and here comes the bus. this guy is walking across the street with his coffee and yells "that lady lied to us!" so the bus is barreling down the street.... and we can see that it is packed. the bus tries to slow down and the wheels are sliding. the more it tries to slow down the more the bus starts jack-knifing. i remember this same thing happening last year. anyway. i talked to the guy for a while then decided to go back inside and not go to school.
so here i am.
for lunch i'm eatin soup and maybe a PBJ sammy.
nothing good is on tv.
