I’m supposed to read a play, memorize a monologue (angry cheated-on wife), write a play review, and do a week-late news article by 1:30. So I’m on here. The rest of my notes:met and talked to a homeless guy for a bit. tried to give him money but most of it was foreign (I need to empty out my purse) which led us to conversing about my childhood. Tried to catch 7:02 and 7:30 bus. ended up chasing after both (and almost running in front of full on traffic) because i didn’t see where it had stopped. I now know (and it’s forever ingrained in my head). talked to a guy about where the bus stop was, he pulled out his blackberry and started to research when the bus came barrelling down the street. i told him it was mine and he ran across a lane of traffic to get into the bus’s lane, waving his arms madly. he then ran back to the sidewalk when the driver didn’t stop. i felt touched by this rash act of a stranger on my behalf. no car ride would have offered me that.walked over the highway to another bus station in an unlit, dodgy area that was listed on one of kyle’s maps as “LAST RESORT”. Bus pulls up and lights turn off. I walk up, the driver opens the doors and informs me he’s on break. Oh, and bus 50 has stopped for the night so I might want to try bus 40 and then transferring.which is how I ended up getting five one dollar coins as change from the metro machine.metro back:-secretive guy tries to underhandedly sell me CK perfume. (Oh and that was funny, he was definitely acting like it was an undercover arms deal)-homeless(?) guy gets on with bulgingly massive bags of bottles he’s collected-one guy stares at me even when I look at him…just…stares.got to fullerton bus station (which no longer seems questionable to me at night) and got picked up. in a car. yes I cheated. but reallygot back to biola around 10:30 (left at 2:30)___________________________________conversation between my 11 and 9 year old cousins and myself:(they have been discussing their crushes in the Twilight series)me: “Oh I’m in Twilight!”katie: “Oh yeah. In the book you’re fat!”caleb: “But not in real life.”katie: “Yeah, not in real life!”I was touched
