Hahaha.
I just caught the bus into uni and I was sitting there, listening to my ipod innocently as you do, when all these Italian (or something) firefighters got onto the bus. The World Police and Fire games are in Adelaide so there are foreign people roaming everywhere and actually it would be really interesting to talk to them because oooh, they fight fires. And stuff. In other countries.
But anyway.
So I'm sitting there, and they all sat up the back around me and a lot of them sort of grinned at me when they sat down. And I smiled back, as you do.
And after awhile I became aware that in their sneaky foreign speakingness they were talking about me.
And THEN one of them took a photo of me.
And then they made me take of my sunglasses but they all cheered so loudly and kind of broke out into song and so I put them back on again.
And when I had to get off the bus they were all very sad but because it was such a process getting past them all (and because they were cheering so loudly) the bus driver started to drive off. I was like, nooo! But they came to my rescue yelling stop! stop! and so he stopped, and they cheered again, and I got off to their cheering and yells of 'bella!'
It was very funny.
Heh.
One of them was going to give me a t-shirt and now I am regretting saying oh no thankyou, because I could have an italian fire fighting t-shirt. Sad.
Right now I am sitting at uni because I have stacks of work to do and I am trying to work up the courage to start. I have supplies as I think I may be stuck in this library until past tea time (partly because it takes me half an hour to locate a book, let alone sit down and take notes from it.)
Also I have new jeans.
They are keeping my leggies cosy.
Happy times.
