Here be a rant:

Buses.
First, I got sick of them. Now I don't.
So I was on the bus today. The bus to school was fine. Nothing much happened, listened to music on the back of the bus like usual...
On the way back, I was walking towards the bus loop of my college and I noticed that the bus I usually take #28 was not parked by the bay where it should've been. It was near the main bay where most students go on. (The bus I take is the ASIAN bus, lol) No one was in the bus, not even the driver. I knew they took breaks at the end of routes and at loops but they would be around the bus at least, this time the driver was nowhere in sight. I headed to the bus stop to wait there and a few people were there.

Finally, the bus driver hopped back onto the bus. We got in, I sat at the very back corner like usual and started up my music. The bus IMMEDIATELY drove off and he left behind some students who were at the stop. The bus wasn't even full, not NEARLY full. There was only like five people on board. Suddenly, at the intersection he turned and I SLID OFF THE seat, my book slammed onto the floor and slid down and I had to fetch it back. He kept driving incredibly fast and stopping to a screech at the last possible moment at stops, 'causing everybody to be thrown around the bus. We finally reached the next bus loop where some of us got off the bus, and the driver got off and disappeared again, taking a break. He never opened the door to let people in first so there was this HUGE lineup just waiting for him to return.

When he finally did, everybody got on and the bus was pretty full, but then he took the wrong route and everybody on the bus was like: "WTF!?" and some people went to the front to tell the bus driver, who eventually went back onto the right route. I just got kidnapped for two minutes! Lol. The annoying driving continued and all was swell after that I believe, but that driver needs to be fired or something. I also saw this woman holding a million grocery bags chase for the bus. She wasn't that far from it and it was a reasonable pace for the bus to wait for her, but it took off. Then, she tried to get the attention of the driver who she thought didn't see her by going across the street (the bus has to turn the other way towards that side) but it just passed her. That made me sad.

Yesterday, on my way home there was this big asian kid. He got on the bus at the second loop and stared at people oddly. When some people got off, he sat down and took up TWO seats, not one. He was big yes, but not fat. He could have just sat on one seat, but spread his legs and body across two. It was very rude. He also poked out his gigantic legs way out, so when people sitting behind him had to get off the bus, they had to navigate themselves around his annoying legs. (He did not move them out of the way) He tried to sleep with his neck twisted behind him, so he looked completely retarded, and kept playing with his coke bottle.

We were finally at the end of the route and he kept yelling at the driver to move despite the car crash that was in front of us, and when we got to the station he yelled at the driver, pushed some people, and took off.

Add the drunks and prositutes and homeless people on the skytrain. I can say that Vancouver transit sucks. Oh well, it was just three days, maybe it'll be better later. This is the first time I complained about transit. It had been fine before this week.

And now, for YET ANOTHER WALL OF TEXT (of plot, hopefully) brought to you by
