I'm totally cool because this woman who I haven't seen for 7 years came to visit us from South Africa, and she saw me, and stopped in her tracks, gasped, and whispered hoarsely..."You're STUNNING."

I found the person. You're all nice. It was another asshole from somewhere else. I feel stupid and assholic. Watching Nick News now. Bye!

Huh? What happened, dear?

Remember the "stupid person" thing I posted? Someone found it and told my friend about it (didn't send it to her). I just feel stupid.

Wow, I leave and THEN we get into the kindergarten playground argument about Chris F? Why, god, why??

And no, Chris F should not play Mark. Like, ever. Although if Drew can do it, why not Chris? But really, that's not a good reason.

Okay, I take back my comment about this thread being boring. Now I throw out our new topic of discussion:

Kerry Butler as Aida and Adam Pascal as Max Bialystock - Yay or nay?

I have other reasons!

Someone please cheer me up.

On Friday night, I was going home on the bus after being out with my friends. It was late-ish and the bus was nearly empty.
Anyway, this weird guy gets on and heads down toward the back of the bus to where I was sitting, and sits just ahead of me even though there were plenty of other seats all around. He drunk, or on drugs or something because he was totally off his head. He kept turning around to me, and waving. I was listening to music on my mini-disc player, so I kept my head down and just ignored him.

After a few minutes he gets up, and budges into the seat right beside me. I was getting more nervous now, because I was trapped against the window if you know what I mean, but I still just turned my head the other way. All of a sudden, my headphones are yanked out of my ear, and he's slurring at me
'Give us a listen, willya?'...so he shoves my headphones into his ear, and starts bouncing up and down in his seat. Then he slows down and starts nodding his head, and puts his hand on my knee.

I was totally terrified, it was so awful. There was another woman on the bus and I made eye contact with her, but she totally ignored me and got off at the next stop. Anyway, he takes my headphones out, and holds them out...I had to reach over and take them even though my hand was trembling. He then went back to his first seat, and closes his eyes. When my stop came around a few minutes later and I got up to leave, he got up too and followed me up to the front. I didn't know what to do, but luckily when the bus stopped he just collapsed into the front seat and I got off and ran all the way home.

Reading over it, it mightn't sound like such a big deal, but I was really shaken by it, and won't be getting the bus home in future. Anyway, that's it.

oh my, that's horrible, the whole thing. I'm really sorry that happened to you!

[Type_A_Tiff]

That's terrible, Ellie! I'm sorry. (Where have you been lately, anyway?)

Something like that happened to me too - I was sitting across from my friend and a creepy homeless-type smelly guy sat next to me and the pocket flappy part of his jacket was underneath my bum and my leg was crossed so my ass cheek was slightly elevated off the seat, and the guy stuck his hand in his jacket pocket and slid it underneath my ass and was groping me, all while staring straight ahead. I thought maybe I was imagining it, and I made eye contact with my friend, who had no idea what was going on. Suddenly he turned and looked right at me (like, 1 foot from my face), got up, sat next to another girl farther in the back of the bus, and then I saw her look at him, stand up and get off the bus and he followed her off.

The worst part is in retrospect you can always think of what you *should* have done but you never actually implement it when the time was right, ya know?

Anyway, cheer up!

I'm so sorry! That reminds me: in Bryant Park there were two drunk (or high) guys and they took some of my lunch and they were really freaking me out. Luckily, my mom and friend were with me the whole time.

[Ellie3]

Posted: 11/21/04 at 9:59pm

Thanks. The worst part was I didn't know what he was going to do, especially when he has his hand on my knee. And if he had followed me off, well I really don't know what I would have done...
And that total bitch just ignored me even though she could see how uncomfortable and scared I was. She didn't even give me a sympathetic glance, just snootily flounced off the bus. Pricking whore.

And also, one of my friends boyfriends offered to see me home, but I said ' No, no, I'll be fine...' Updated On: 11/21/04 at 09:59 PM

That's so terrible about that woman! It's the Kitty Genovese Complex (a few people see something bad happening but no one does anything because everyone assumes someone else will help out).

[Ellie3]

Except she was the only other person on the bus! Apart from the driver, and another old woman asleep at the very back.

*shaking head* Aweful. Really. The bus driver didn't do anything?

[Delphine]

Posted: 11/21/04 at 10:18pm

This whole story is very creepy.

[BroadwayMonkey]

Posted: 11/21/04 at 10:20pm

That's totally scary, guys.

[Ellie3]

Posted: 11/21/04 at 10:24pm

I'm not sure if the driver noticed, but if he did he didn't do anything, except when I was getting off he said 'Buddy, sit down'.

And my mini-disc player has now been soiled by that creeps yucky cocainey oozy earwax...yuck, yuck and triple yuck.

[Type_A_Tiff]

On the bright side, if there's actually cocaine present in his ear wax, you found yourself one really talented drug user!

[insomniak]

Posted: 11/21/04 at 10:31pm

I would so not snort anything that had ever touched earwax.

[BroadwayMonkey]

Posted: 11/21/04 at 10:34pm

I concur, insomniak.

[Ellie3]

Hi insomniak!

The whole evening pretty much sucked anyway, especially after my Bridget Jones-esque moment of laughing too hard at my own joke, snorting, then proceeding to fall off the bar-stool with a loud clatter, followed by a shocked silence.

P.S. Underage drinking -bad, I know.
