i had myself a little adventure tonight...
i dropped my car off at the shop for a new battery, and will pick it up tomorrow. but that meant i had to take the bus home from the Y. it was awesome!! i LOVE the bus! i'd forgotten what a social encounter taking the bus is.
when i first got on, i slipped comfortablly back into the same seat in the back i used to sit on every day in college and put my feet up. soon after that a small group of guys got on and sat right near me. it was so interesting listening to their conversation. i didn't mean to, i just couldn't help it. they were so crass and young and unaware and foolish. and as i sat there listening they reminded me of someone i used to know and it made me smile.
it was nice. it was surprising. it was liberating. and the fact that i can look back now with only fondness - its good.
its amazing to think "all of that" was just one aspect in my life and not THE EVENT of my lifetime as i once thought it was. i got off the bus proud of how far i've come and treated myself to some mickey-d's. actually the truth is, i'd been craving some mcdonalds. i could have taken the bus right to my house, but i opted for a big mac and a cold walk home. which is unlike me. i don't handle "cold" very well. but i had my snazzy toque. after my "dinner" i went to blockbuster because i wanted to "chick flick it up" tonight. so i rented THE BRIDE & THE PREJUICE which i've been wanting to see for a while.
i think i might take the bus back to the car shop tomorrow eventhough its a 15 minute walk and a 45 minute bus ride ;)
i'm coming down to let you know
that i love you though it doesn't show
when we argued about the car i want you to know
that i am so thankful that you're here
