Carry on Wayward Son
So I was supposed to be on a bus to Ypsilanti at 4:45 this afternoon.
I made it to Union Station at 4:57, my bus was gone.
madness ensued:
I met up with Chelsea where we proceeded to get dinner at Panera Bread downtown.
After dinner we hoped on the red line to go home to drop off my stuff.
We then ran to her work to rent a movie for a friend we were meeting at 7.
On the way we ran into her co-worker Garrett.
After renting the movie we crossed the street to catch the Clark bus to meet Hilary and Renee at the iO theatre were we go to free comedy every Wednesday night. we were already running late as it was after 7. The bus took forever to show up, and then it was one of those old buses and was taking forever to get us to the theatre.
On the bus we found some interesting characters.
Snot-Rocket Man: who asked the bus driver to open the back door so he could shoot a few snot rockets onto the street. Then asked if i was angry after i cracked my knuckles and asked if we were going to fight and proceeded to tell me he had been drinking.
Desperate Angry Girl: too much metal around the mouth, and I don't mean braces. She sat in the back and talked very loudly about her tattoos/piercings and talked about her myspace boyfriend.
at 7:30 we finally arrive at the theatre and get seated for the show.
During the show Chelsea volunteered to tell about her day so they could act out her dreams.
After the show, Hilary left, Chelsea Renee and I went to the Pick Me Up Cafe for Hummus.
After PMU, Chelsea and I needed to walk down to Belmont to buy a day pass because my 30 day pass had expired. I asked that we walk down the main road because i don't like the back roads at night.
On the way we came up behind and extraordinarily drunk man who freaked out Chelsea, so we decided to walk in the bike lane, we pretended to be riding a tandem bike, it was fucking awesome. I like to think we confused the hell out of the drunk guy.
We pretended to Tandem bike again as we Passed the Blue Man Group Theater, cause why the hell not.
We finally make it to CVS where I buy my day pass.
I Check the bus tracker and the next Clark bus wont be around for 22 min.
So we headed to the makeup isle, we dropped about $30 each on makeup we didn't need.
Got on the bus to head home, at 11:30.
On the bus we found a few more characters:
Foam Finger Couple: they got on the bus with 18 foam fingers that were flipping you the bird reading 'Your Fucking Out!' (they even gave one to the bus driver)
Awkward skinny Man: who asked for, and received, a foam finger. The couple proceeded to ask him all kinds of questions and profess that he was their hero.
Super Rubik's Cube Guy: He actually beat the thing while I watched from my seat. and the proceeded to mess it up again.
We finally make it to our stop.
Standing on the corner waiting to cross the street, an SUV drives by and chucks a few empty beer bottles out the window, shattering them in the intersection. To which Chelsea responded (very loudly) "You fucking litterers!! Why don't you love the Earth!!?"
As we walked the 1.5 blocks home, we sang 'Carry on wayward Son' by Kansas.
