hey

i started this blog a really long time ago but never had time to post. so im going to start!
this blog is all about my escapades and encounters with the people and buses of long island. i take the bus home from school. i have to take 2 buses every day. part 1 of my bus trip is from the school to the Terminal. part 2 is the Terminal to my house. to prevent stalkage, im going to name the numerous buses and stops my own names. i can take many different buses to get home. i think i can take a total of 5

bus #1-im going to call it Sardines. this is because so many people take this bus everyone is literally packed like sardines. i hate this bus and i only take it if im desperate.

bus#2- im going to call this one ShortCut. this is because i just discovered this one and it cuts my walking from the stop to my house in half.

bus#3- im going to call this the Long Way. this bus i can get home but it takes a little longer. i can take this from 2 different places. either way it makes me walk for a half hour and it takes a long time to even get to the stop.

bus#4 im going to call Secretbus. this bus only stops at half the stops at my school and i didnt know it existed until recently. i laugh at the people who don't know this bus misses stops and they look really confused. like "why did the bus not stop here?" lol

bus#5 im going to call the Iwanttogohome. i only take this bus if i want to go home asap and not wait for any of the other buses. it takes longer but i hate waiting.

now im going to tell you about the buses themselves
for those of you who don't know, there are different kinds of seats. in the front, you have the seats in a row that face eachother for the elderly and handicapped, ill call these elderly seats. then there are rows of double seats, ill call these two seaters. then there are more seats that face eachother, that go up for the wheelchairs, ill call these flip seats. then finally, there is the back of the bus, these are called, the back seats.

now about me and the bus, i never ever sit in the flip seats or the back of the bus. i always sit in the first row of twoseaters. and i hate standing. with a passion. i also know just where to stand so i always get on first.

ok so those are my names. i might as well start off with a story. Today, i took Secretbus to the Terminal and i decided to wait for Shortcut. the line for the Long way was like 80 people strong and i was like NO WAY.

so the bus FINALLY arrived (the only thing i dont like about the shortcut is that it takes forever and a day to get to the terminal) and there were only like 7 people on the line including me. at the front. cause thats where i usually am lol. keep in mind that the bus seats 45 and stands 11 (legally) so i sat where i usually do. then this old lady decided that none of the other seats were good enough to sit on except the one right next to me. there were 37 seats left on the bus she could have sat in but nooooooooo she HAD to sit next to me. and she smelled. so i put in my ipod. and do you know what she did? she turned her body sideways and STARED at me. she stared at me for the whole ride! i took off my headphones and checked to make sure they weren't loud and they weren't. so i have no idea why this woman was staring at me. weirdo.

ok so thats my story for today. sometimes ill have two or three, depending on what happens, but remember, this is a introductory post, so my others will be shorter. thanks for reading! see you tomorrow!!
