Heyy I'm not blogging daily any more. It's amazing. xP
I kind of didn't bother after the first 'Awkward' -->

But I guess once again I have something that I'll just like to ramble on about again so here it is...Moments that happen on the bus:
Ok so yesterday, I was a Parra for a general dental check-up and everything, making sure my teeth haven't moved alll over the place. My teeth haven't moved all over the place buuuuutttttt, both my bottom two wisdom teeth have grown out halfway and then decided to stop. Soooo if I were to get them removed I'd have to go to a specialist and get mah gums cut and get them removed forcefully =(

Oh how I wish I could go back to the days when I was teething. You could nom on anything and blame your figure on the baby fat...ANYWAYS THAT'S FOR ANOTHER POST~ xP
So back to the original topic of this post...The Bus. Why don't I get one of the free wifi buses? Where do they go? I've never known. D: It's not like I can use the wifi on board but it's still pretty cool. I swear all the wifi buses are black with a coffee ad on them. EVERY TIME I see one go by I always wonder where they go but I've never actually bothered to look i.e. instead of complaining I could go look it up now but I ceebs (Y)

A little anecdote before I start my musings:
I was waiting for my bus home from parra when a group of three guys: a scrawny little asian gangster probably around 160cm , his big black friend that stood over 2 metres tall and a white dude...who looked normal except for the massive amount of tattoos, the frayed cardigan..and guess what...he was wearing a bicycle helmet. WTR. Why would you wear a helmet and catch the bus? Did he just buy it? Did his bike get run over? Did he steal it? Sooo many questions...But anyways...they were all smoking ciga-weed. YEH THAT'S RIGHT. It's not cigarette or weed...IT'S CIGA-WEED. Man was the stuff powerful. >.>'' Here how the conversation went:
Scrawny little asian: Hey bruva, you woodn't berief wut happened to moi at Livo the udder day.
The other two: Waht?
Scrawny little asian: Dere were dese little punks, bruva, 'nd dey tried ta rob moi.
Around now is when I realised a few things: Little asian gangsters that smoke weed and have huge-ass black and white friends DO exist; People do speak in tumblr grammar and language; It is near impossible to replicate this language when I type; and this is sounding like Don's story...except without the accent.
Black man: Waddidya do?
Scrawny little asian man: I told 'em, bruva, how old are ye? 'nd they said 16 'nd I said foooook bruva, I am 25 and can take all three of ya punks on. Den I snuck (yes I debated whether he said suckered or snuffed but I'm pretty sure he said snuck)
one of dem in da face and rob'd dem back, bruva.
So yeh...story of Don's life. (Y) =P
ONWARDS TO MY MUSINGS!

Chastising Chivalry and Executing Etiquette
Ok, first things first. Getting onto the damn bus is hectic. You'll know if you've ever been to Parra or Epping. Normally the crowd is ok. People make a line and everything, letting the elderly, youngerly and pregnant lady on first...not at Parra. I think because I live in a dodgy neighbourhood, some undesirable people do catch the bus and they end up shoving the elderly aside or sneer at ethnic groups that get on the bus. =/ It's saddening. Normally I just wait on the side, getting shoved which way and that trying not to anger any of them. People have actually come up to me and asked me for smokes, lighters and drugs before around my area. I mean seriously. DO I LOOK LIKE I CARRY STUFF LIKE THAT AROUND? ==' Not sure if it's a good or bad thing that I'm moving out xP
Stupid Seating
Why make double seating? I'm forever alone anyway D=. hahaha Not the point I'm making but yeh...From one point of view, when you're the person looking for a seat, should you sit next to someone or take a seat by yourself? If there are empty seats I usually take an empty seat. XD Now the next scenario that could happen when you're the person searching for a seat is that the bus is near full and you have to decide whether or not to sit down or stand up (and leave the seat for others). This leads on to the next scenario where you're the passenger and there are a few empty seats next to other randoms and there's a empty seat next to you. Are you a person that is a space hogger and puts your bag on the empty seat? xP Well I'm not and I usually leave the seat empty next to me. xD The issue arises when I get mixed issues about where randoms sit. I'm weird. When randoms sit next to me I question (silently) why they didn't choose another seat next to some other person...taking up all my personal space yo, but thennnn if they don't sit next to me and sit next to another random my mind goes into forever alone mode and asks, 'Y U NO SIT NEXT TO MEEEE?!!!' LOL same thing applies when there are completely empty seats on the bus...though there is more emphasis on the 'Y YOU UP IN MY PERSONAL SPACE?!' xP
This is too difficult for my plebeian brain to comprehend. D=
Wicked Windows
It's been a long post so I'll shut up after this...
I've never been able to sleep on public transport. EVER. D= I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. I usually take the seat closer to the window because I like leaning when I get drowsy, but it's painful. Lemme explain. If you're next to the window and you put your head on it, it vibrates and you pretty much get a dose of mini-jackhammer vibrations against your skull. D= Then you may ask the question, 'Dumb Henry, why don't you just pick seats with the frame to lean against?' I answer this with much experience. (Jen and others can confirm this) When I lean against the frame the bus ALWAYS ends up hitting some huge bump/ pot-hole in the road and I end up self-smashing my head/ face into the frame which results in ALLLLLL THE PAIN. =(
Also another thing about windows...is if you've ever been sitting at staring out the window and your bus has the advertisement, you can only see it on an angle right? You can't see it if you look directly at it...WELL...I was staring out the window once and...I didn't realise until after I got off the bus that I was staring...out of the cleavage of the woman in advert. Given that no one realised the awkwardness (I hope) I felt really embarrassed...and now I've told you guys...xP For the chuckles I say. BUT YEH. AWKIES. >.>''''''''
I also like staring at the raindrops climbing their way back up the window if it's raining...It's either that or 'racing' the raindrops and watch which raindrop/s make it all the way down first =P (AND THEN YOU GET THE AWESOME RAINDROPS THAT COMBINE TOGETHER AND BECOME BIGGER RAINDROPS. LIKE POWERFUL TRANSFORMER RAINDROPS THAT BEAT EVERY-DROP!) Ok...I think I'm wayyyyyy to excited. ><'
hahaha...NITEY NITES! SWTDRMZ~!!! ttys!
