Thoughts for the Day of November 29th, 2006
-Expect long delays when relying on public transportation for getting where you need to go. Instead of the usual 2 buses and the 1.5 hour trip that it normally takes me to make it to UBC, it instead took me 5 buses and was a 2 hour trip to get to UBC. It was great fun. I began on the 257, then jumped on the 254, then the 22, then the 4 and then the 44. It was so great. Quite an adventure.
-When there are big winds and snow coming down, expect buses to be very late. Case in point: Joel saw 10 #41 buses drive past him at UBC, while he waited for his one and only #44 bus to pick him up to take him home. However, when it finally came, it came with two other #44 buses. Not going to lie to you, it was pretty great when it finally came.
-To the _______ who is determined to be a ________ to the bus driver and tells her to hurry up when she is trying to figure out how she is to proceed, please do not ever ride the bus again. Your mood is a cancer to the rest of us and you in your impatience to get to your next stop is not appreciated. No one cares about how much of a hurry you are in, we are all wanting to get to where we want to go. Do us all a favour, take a car to where you have to go. We'd rather have you pollute than ride with us. Come to think of it, you are already doing a fine job at that. =P
-The Subway employees at the Horseshoe Bay location were pretty great to me. I was standing outside in the windy, cold snow for my father to pick me up to go home and they came out, seeing that I was freezing, asked me if I wanted to wait inside even though they had closed about an hour ago. I appreciated it. =)
-Dads are great. Not simply because mine picked me up in the terrible weather of today, but I would like to highlight this. He picked me up in the truck from Horseshoe Bay. =) While I waited for him though, I wrote "Jesus" in the snow, while then shifting my attention to writing, "Body Piercing Saved My Life" in the snow. It was epic. =D
-The Bus drivers will be recieving, or more correctly one bus driver to represent them all, a thank-you letter on Friday when I am commute to school. Although many people are whining, complaining, and swearing to the bus drivers, they deserve a pat on the back for their efforts to get around in the terrible snow. All the while, they handle the abuse from the bus passengers, the terrible drivers who think they can drive in the snow when really, their current driving suggests that they probably couldn't navigate a toy car on the pavement. Translink bus drivers, you are great. I appreciate you and I am thankful for all you do. Even if it takes me a little longer to get from A to B, I know you are working hard. Thank you. =)
-U2's new song, The Saints are Coming, featuring Green Day, is really quite epic. I've listened to the song over 75 times since Friday morning. It is a great song and it has inspired me with some new ideas for one of my stories that I am working on (that story, however, will not be finished for several years, so ye shall have to wait ye lil' heart).
-The book I've been working on since April of this year (2006) is still progressing along. Throughout Sept. - Oct., admittedly, I did not get much done do to the adjustment to UBC and the course work, but the recent power outages have done wonders for me and allowed me to put a lot of focused time into it. I hope to have the thorough outline of the book finished by the end of December (and NOT on Jan. 1st, 2007).
