Of Buses and Men
Good Morning World,
Well actually it isn't really morning its afternoon here but this is the first time that I've been able to stop and enjoy my morning routine. So here I am with last night's coffee reheated and half a sandwich from last nights outing. Thank God for left-overs thats all I have to say!!! Having already had the opportunity this morning to go out and ride three buses, I would just like to take a moment of my time this morning to talk about buses...and men.
Apparently some men think that all a woman wants first thing in the morning is to get hit on. I have this problem basically every time I ride the bus which baffles me as I am not overly beautiful. I mean I'm not ugly but I'm nothing out of the ordinary either. Most men who hit on me on the bus are easy to shrug off or at least ignore however, this morning's specimen of the male population was incredibly insistent.
The conversation went something like this:
Him: Hey, you have a boyfriend
Me: Yes
Him: So are you married?
Me: No *pause* I don't believe in marriage (which is very true)
Him: You don't believe in marriage!!??
Me: Ummm no
Him: Why not.
Me: I've seen too many marriages end in divorce and a separation is easier than a divorce (which is true but not the whole story)
Him: Oh. Well I was divorced and it wasn't hard and I have two kids but I thought it was pretty easy.
Me: (trying to get him to shut up) Well did you ask your kids if they thought it was easy?
Him: I know what my kids think
Me: Ignores him.
Him: So how long have you and your bf been together.
Me: (scrounging for the largest plausible number I can think of on the spot) 4 years
Him: So you are basically common law married
Me: Umm yeah
Him: So can I have your number?
Me: Ignores him.
Him: So where are you from.
Me: Alaska
Him: Kewl and asks a bunch of questions about alaska which I didn't mind and answered.
Me: Well this is my stop
Him: Well it was nice to meet you my name is Marcus.
Me: Nice to meet you too *introduced myself, shook his hand and started to walk off the bus*
Him: I would really like it if I could have your number.
Me: Umm my boyfriend wouldn't like that. I'll see ya around *hurries off the bus*
Me: WTF??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
First off if I gave him my number and I had a boyfriend that I had been with for 4 years I would be a complete and totally trashy bitch. And really who wants to be with a trashy bitch??
On the other hand he did inform me about how him and his ex had got their card so they could legal have pot in the house....and they had two kids.
SOOOO not my type.
In other unrelated news I have been elevated to a new status in my house. I am no longer the cat's pincushion. I have now been moved to the position of chew toy. I personally feel very honored by this change....not!
Whenever I sit down at my computer to do something she comes and starts licking my foot. Unfortunately it feels like a bug crawling on my leg so I jerk my leg back and then put it back. As soon as its back in position she will proceed to bite at the spots that she just cleaned..................
I have an odd cat!!
Ok well thats all for this morning
