Dear Girl in the red hat on the #26
Just because you can speak French does not make it ok to talk louder than everyone else on the bus.
Also, when no one else is talking on the bus, it would be best to observe cell phone etiquette and shut the hell up.
Have a nice evening :)

Public Transportation
Reasons I don't love taking the bus
1. Sometimes it smells like one big fart
2. There typically are very attractive men, but they are ALL married
3. The bus only comes every half an hour and I typically read the schedule wrong so I always miss it.
4. Sometimes bus drivers make me fear for my life when they drive like a bat out of hell
5. I still have not figured out the secret rules about when to make eye contact to let someone know 'hell no don't sit next to me' or 'please pick me to sit next to so creeper McCreeperson behind you doesn't try to sit here'.
Reasons I love taking the bus
1. I get to drive through parts of the city that I would otherwise avoid
2. I get to make up stories about people's lives on the bus
3. I can listen to my i pod and space out before I get home
4. Sometimes (and by that I mean twice) I smile at people and they smile back
5. I watch people get so awkward when the bus driver asks them if they are ready for the weekend (on Tuesday) and if they are ready to go fishing. yeah, you aren't special, he says that to everyone.

Do what you can
Hey,
I am posting this kind of late so if you get it in time please please please do something.
My roommates just recently told me about a man named Philip Rizk that they met in Egypt. He is a journalist and has worked to bring attention to the many injustices happening in Gaza. On Saturday he was arrested by the Egyptian security forces and is being detained without any real charges. Here is the article that describes what is going on.

Please do one or all of these things to bring media attention to what is going on.

Here is a sample letter:
Dear Amnesty International,
I am writing to inform your organization about the abduction of Egyptian-German peace and humanitarian activist, Philip Rizk, in Egypt.Philip was simply leading a peaceful protest, about 50 km north of Cairo, to show solidarity to the Gazans and Palestinians and to spread awareness to the world about Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.
The Egyptian authorities detained 15 of the marchers and then released them all, except Philip, who they took for ‘questioning’. The authorities have not yet given any information about his welfare or reasons for his detention.For more information, please see this Reuters article:http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKTRE51617J20090207Amnesty, please do what you can to spread the news and to help free Philip Rizk, who is an innocent victim.
Yours sincerely,

Things I have accomplished since the 'DEAR GOD TAKE ME NOW snow storm 2008'
1. Made Curtains for my kitchen
2. Made two batches of cookies. One was successful, the other will be ice cream topping crumble (read, cookies that spread all over the pan I don't want to throw them away).
3. I am currently making little apple tarts
4. I ventured out in my car after it had been snowing ALL DAY and we made it. My car is a brick.
5. I checked the news every 20 min to see if it would tell me the answers about life. It didn't.
6. I lived in hypothetical land a lot wondering if my flight would get canceled, how I would get home, wondering if Lindsey and I would get STUCK in the house with no power, etc.
7. Sometimes when I was bitching a LOT Linds would remind me that there are people who are homeless who are sleeping outside and then it didn't seem so bad.
8. I went to work today because the Mayor REFUSES to close the city. I think when people are waiting three hours for a bus it is time to admit defeat or GET MORE EFFING SNOW PLOWS.
9. I went sledding
10. I drank wine and watched a lot of movies.
Here are some pictures from the 'KILL ME NOW snow storm 2008'
Linds and I sledding. My pants were SO wet and ALL of me was cold
Snow on Saturday 12/13
Snow on 12/21 after everything had defrosted and started again on Wed.
