Passenger Stories #001 & Tales of the Bus
Last night I went to Binghamton, NY. Really there isn't too much exciting to say about it, but I did have this really funny guy who kept talking to me for most of the night. He kept calling me "Ms. Anderson", which I found creepy at first until I realized my badge has my full name on it. I had to use restraint from saying "Ms. Anderson if you're nasty!" to him, because I was afraid maybe he didn't know who Janet Jackson was and maybe he was really nasty and would call me "Ms. Anderson" in that tone. You know what I'm talking about. Anyway I was telling him how tired I was, and he told me that he was a hypnotist. He said he could hypnotize me into some deep sleep for 15 minutes and I would feel like I got 3 hours of sleep. I told him I thought it sounded sketchy. I was going to ask him to hypnotize my extreme fear of frogs out of me, but then the more I thought about it the more I thought it was a bad idea. What if I was to get some other even weirder fear once the frog fear was gone? What if after he did, I got like an extreme love for frogs and I started cuddling them all the time or something? That thought freaked me out so I just kept my mouth shut. Later I told the captain about the hypnotist man, and he said "It must be horrible being stuck in a metal tube with those kinds of people." I didn't think that guy was too bad, but some days I do feel that way.
I've been over-emotional this week and I really realized it this morning when I got on the bus. The buses only run every 25-30 minutes, so if you just miss a bus, you have to wait around forever to catch the next one. You could walk to the A terminal to catch one, but by time you walked all the way down there, you would have caught the BC bus. Yesterday I was walking down the hall and could see the bus through the double doors. I was still pretty far away so I started to run. The bus pulled away when I was about 15 feet away from the door. I was so mad I almost started to cry! I thought to myself "My God I'm such a baby!" I had to sit there for almost 30 minutes in the bus stop room with a man who was talking so loudly on his phone that I almost wished I would have cried so he would have thought I was a freak and left to wait outside. This morning I saw the bus through the doors and was determined to make it. I was on my way down when I saw Craig P. Craig P. is different from Craig T. who is on my myspace. I usually affectionately call him Craigy P. since he once told me that everything about me is cute, including my shadow. He had gotten off the bus and was going to work while I was rushing to make sure I got on the bus. I haven't seen him in a month maybe more so he stops me and gives me a hug and starts telling me about his trip he's going on. I was so anxious that I was hopping from foot to foot and staring at the bus before I finally blurted out "Craig I have to catch that bus or I might kill someone, I hope I'll see you tonight!" I made it to the bus, and I was so happy that I wanted to throw my hands in the air and shout "YIPPIE!" Instead I just smiled all big like an idiot, but I couldn't help it I was very pleased.
Movies I want to see:
The Black Dahlia
Hollywoodland
The Prestige
Marie Antoinette
The Science of Sleep
I updated my booklist this morning.
Now I need to go take a nap, I'm really tired.
