Yeeeeee!!! I totally took my first bus ride on Friday, to the Minnesota State Fair. And yes, we did take the real bus too, not just the free, fun, bus to the fair. Sam and Matt were good enough to accompany me and we took plenty of photographic evidence. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous, but everyone was very nice. Here is my picture timeline:
This is me walking to the bus stop... I've got my money all ready to go.... and yes, I'm really that pale... it's not the flash or lighting or anything that I tried to convince myself that it was... =(
This is Matt trying to be funny and "Beeching Me" as I tripped up the steps of the bus. Yes, I tripped. And it sucked. (For more on "Beeching" please click here.)
Yes! My transfer ticket!! So exciting.... yehck! That lipstick looks horrible on me! My friends must hate me.
Some very nice bus riders who were willing to show their bus passes!! Woot! Woot! Bus riders!!!
So, in conclusion, the bus wasn't at all that bad. I mean, I was really nervous about pulling the line when my stop came up, but I would almost call it quite enjoyable... so enjoyable, in fact, that I intend on taking it to work on Tuesday!! Down to Hummers!! Yea to buses!!

What you don't understand about the bus is that, other than a route to the fair which is probably filled with normal folks, you need to have that crazy look about you when you ride the bus. If you look happy, people will try and talk to you (like when you're stuck on a plane). When you look mad, they'll antagonize you just to see if they can make you snap. However, if you look crazy, people might think there is really something wrong with you, and they'll leave you alone.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing works when you're waiting for the bus (woot woot to the Northside 5 route riders).
You're adorable.
ReplyDeleteA man in a Hummer picked me up while hitchhiking the other day. So I must say that in defense of the Hummer population.
But again. You are adorable.
This was your first bus ride? Are you afraid of riding the bus or something? I know there are lots of things that could happen to someone on a bus, but they all could happen to you walking down the street. Guess some of us live our life in fear and other don't.
ReplyDeleteHa! Mouseclone!! Awesome.... fear is a funny thing you know... did you even read my entry?
ReplyDeleteI have never rode the bus. It looks fun!
ReplyDeletelol sounds fun
ReplyDeleteUpdate on Megan's bus riding adventures. After a week of taking a real bus and dealing with the "bus crazies," Megan is no longer riding the bus. Part of this is due to an incident where she got lost and nearly shanked a fool. Although driving may create more environmental damage, the potential savings in human lives probably outweighs the negative impact.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog. Keep up the great work. I hope you find happiness soon!
