Normally the ferry ride to work is not very exciting. It's relaxing and beautiful, but you don't normally see weird stuff. But the bus ride to the ferry can fun which is where i first laid eyes on Pin head.Well this week we have a new addition to the ferry bus, Chatterbox.
I got on a fairly empty bus, and sat on one of the seats the runs parallel with the aisle. Across from me was this lady chatting away! 3 seats down from her was another lady reading a paper who did not seem one bit itnerested in what Chatterbox was saying so i figured she was not the one she was talking to. Chatterbox continues talking but at the same time she was looking at the ceiling with her eyes rolled halfway into the back of her head, and just kept moving her head from side to side. Okay now i am starting to question her sobriety. She's now asking questions in her conversation but the hell is she talking to? No one is sitting beside her and no one is really paying attention to her either. She looks past the lady sitting 3 seats down and randomly asks if they (whoever they is...) still ahve her number. A guy sitting a few seats down from 3 seat down lady looks at Chatterbox and grumbles "do you ever stop talking?". Chatterbox asks again about the number and he just rolls eyes, shakes his head and looks away. Maybe he has been on the bus for awhile with her and getting sick of it. Who knows! And she keeps talking. I'm trying not to laugh at this point because i really cannot figure out if the guy knows her or not because she seems very interested in him. She continues talking to him (even though he is a good 3 meters away from her) and he just shakes his head and asks her to shut up. I look down at her feet and she has with her a blue recycable bag which has 2 rolls of toilet paper and slippers in it. I think it's safe to assume Chatterbox is not all there in the head.
One last thing, on the way home that same day on the ferry, as we were crossing our Harbour i saw something black bobbing up & down in the water. It was a seal!! Yeah it made my day :)
Happy Friday everyone!
Just when you least expect it, expect to be . . . BUS JACKED! The life & times of riding the bus.
Welcome!

The Randoms Roundup
Nothing too exciting has happened on the bus this week, but a few oddities did stand out!
Earlier in the week I was on the bus on my way to the ferry. I sat down in my usual seat and looked over and who do i see? Pin head!! She was sitting in the same seat, dressed sharp just like last time, however she did not have as much going on in her hair. I tried counting the pins before she got off the bus but i was only able to count 13 pins before she got off. Also i noticed she only had one elastic in her ponytail, not an assortment of hair accessories. However this time i was riding the bus with a friend so i was able to point her out to them. Funny, i didn't have to tell them who she was, after seeing the amount of pins they figured it out on their own who she was!!
This morning on the bus i saw a very interesting sight. It was something i have never ever seen on the bus before and it definitely made my jaw drop and question the sanity of the person. Well this person wasn't on the bus, he was outside walking towards the bus so it still counts, and it was at a major bus terminal. So i am on the bus and we are pulling away from the stop and i glanced out the window and i see this guy walking towards the bus stop. This guy looks about in his early 20's, had bright dyed red hair with his bangs twisted and coming down the front (picture a "greaser" hairstyle but with the bangs coming down way past the eyes) and wearing the most unbelievable thing i have ever seen; a bathrobe & slippers. No joke! He was casually strolling across the parking lot wearing a navy blue robe and slippers like it was normal!! He had a friend with him who was wearing normal clothing but not this guy. I couldn't believe it. Maybe he was doing it as a dare or joke, or maybe normal just isn't his style. All i know is that i would love to see this guy again, actually riding the bus! Now that would make my day.
