getting there is half the fun
saturday morning at 5am Zak drove me back to the greyhound where i boarded the bus to Rocky Mount NC- trip was uneventful, slept most of it. when i woke up near the end of my trip and this fella behind me starts conversation by saying "oh! i thought you was a fellow! (because of my short hair cut, i guess) but nah nah nahh, yous a hardass bitch. yeah you onea them that's what you are, you a hardass bitch." and i didn't know what to say so i said "oh, i am?" then i got off the bus and the bus driver was saying some such about using me for a pillow in Raleigh and again i really didn't know what to say so i just said "oh?" then as i drug my gear 100 yards over to the train station, slow movin', a nice taxi dude offered to drive me and my boxes over there. so he did, and i thanked him and checked my boxes. then the only thing left to do was look for some food, smoke, and wait for the train to come and pick me up. i walked to the only restaurant in town, a bbq house, and the only thing they had i would eat was coleslaw and chips. so i ordered the coleslaw and after some rude service i got out of there ignoring the people who were giving me the evil eye. they don't like vegetarians in Rocky Mount NC apparently.
on the train i slept smore and realized a solution to world over population (womens education specifically the ovulatory cycle). my cousin Ben picked me up from the amtrak station during his work break, i was soooo glad to see him! i took a look round the shoppin' center he works in as i waited for him to get done at work. i found a halloween store closin' up which was hiring for inventory so i took down the number and ended up workin' there for a my first week in Charleston. that night i managed to get into Ben's bar even though i'm only 20.5 years old and they turned down my first attempt- but i did not give up. i ordered the veggie panini, took 3rd in the galaga competition, and drank the tall corona the kitchen sent out for me. Ben got off late and we went over to his buds house before heading home.
so i'm starting to feel real good being on my own by now.
mileage = 550mi by grehound bus & amtrak train
