So today I set out to chase the bus again.
Well no, that's not exactly true.
You see, I had just said farewell to Sam as she got on the bus and I was talking to my other friends Erin and Katie, waiting for the bus to leave.
However, mid-sentence I was cut off by the honk of a horn. Looking up I saw the bus driver looking right at me. He pointed ahead of him.
He was making sure I was ready for the race.
And so race I did. When the bus reached the stoplight the bus driver opened the door and said quite plainly
"You win."
As the bus drove away I saw Sam staring at me out the window, shaking her head lightly.
Sorry Sam. I don't think I could stop now even if I wanted to.

Bus Hero
So this week I've been getting in a little extra exercise.
I have been chasing my friend Sam's bus, bus 130, as it leaves school.
It started out as a joke between me and Sam. But today I think it might be something more.
On every other day I've been chasing it, someone chased it with me. Today however, I was alone.
I stood outside the bus waiting for it to leave. I keep hearing cheers and people were raising their hands which gave me the impression bus 130 was different from my old bus 22-11.* When it finally got going I walked along side it. The bus sped up and I jogged with it.
Suddenly it stopped.
I was used to this. It takes the bus awhile sometimes to pull out of the lane and onto the street.
It started again. I followed.
The bus stopped. I stopped.
The bus speeds up and I'm running to catch up as soon as I do, the bus stops again.
I look over and see the bus driver laughing. All the kids are watching me through the window. My little joke with Sam has gained some attention.
The bus speeds up for the final time and I run with it till it reaches the stoplight. Of course, the light was red so I got to stand there as a bus full of kids cheered me on and waved. A few of them even knew my name it seems because as the light turned green they called it out as they passed.
I wonder what they'll think when I do it again on Monday.
*That actually didn't surprise me. Bus 22-11 was pretty crazy. But that's another post...

5:55pm: Shifted so I am sprawled across the whole back seat. Not as comfy as I was expecting.

9:14pm: Two Door Cinema Club likes lasagna.
9:16pm: License plate says SCARAB. Heh...
9:25pm: We won the shopping amazing race. People are amused by our game.

Saturday

11:51am: At the place. It smells like wood.

12:59pm: It's almost 1.
1:00pm: It's 1.
1:08pm: Stayed and waited to find out number one on the alt 18. It was Muse. Figures.
1:13pm: Lady with crazy red fake eyelashes. I'm the only one that has noticed.
2:15pm: We sat outside. My soul is numb.
5:09pm: Ate lunch. Went to the arcade. Broke two machines. Won a giant banana.
12:08am: Bed
Sunday
12:58pm: I saw some deer. I've also realized I am terrible at keeping logs.

2:45pm: "We could put on a play. There's a stage..." Yeah Matt. We could.
3:20pm: Clubbed my ear with the car door by mistake. Beginning to think I have a problem getting into cars.

7:11pm: I need to pee.

Ouch
I lost it.
I figured it would happen sooner or later. I expected it would suck. I didn't expect it would suck this much.
I had to leave the Warehouse 13 roleplay. I was never on and it just wasn't fair to the others.
I guess what really adds power to the punch is that I lost my tie to the fandom. Before, there was no reason for anyone to remember little parkitcharlie. Sometimes I made a funny post, but nothing ever got much attention.
Although now that I think about it...no one minded the roleplay either. Perhaps I'll have to find another way.
Then again maybe I already have.
poorlydrawnwereherse.
Maybe if I stop screwing around with my time I can keep this one.
Time management is the name if the game.
And I am the worst player.
