Just as a side note. Don't type this on your iPod like I did... I ended up losing my original post of this. Thank you, this has been a public service announcement.
So, after discovering that my first two hour class was canceled, I have time to take you to a place of wonder and excitement or just a funny description of a few things of events from last Tuesday.

Being outside again wasn't much of a break after being in the cyber cafe or dungeon as it's known by its inhabitants, myself included. Some of us referred to it as the bunker, seeing as no signal seems to get punched in or out through the concrete and mash up of music and slayed gamers. What awaited me on the stairs of the PUB, was a gathering of souls waiting for the ride home.
Being outside didn't do anything for me as some people stared at me, not understanding that I didn't have to push my way forward and instead choose to exercise the virtue of patience. Some of the people were patient as myself, though not warranting any stares, others talkative and using the gift of gab, while others still stood impatiently, tapping their feet and looking cross.
As all happiness was being sucked out of the moment a glimmer of hope shown through. One of our comrades of creativity was passing by and after a brief reassurance that the bus ahead wasn't the only one ahead that would return back into town, a few funny, possibly even witty remarks came to mind. As the bus door opened, the learning souls ahead of us rushed forth into the breach and I mustered as much sarcasm as it required to make the following remark:
"Look at it. I think I see fins. It's like sardines being stuffed into a can." Needless to say, a description of what that looks like isn't completely necessary. Though once I started, I couldn't stop the flow of ideas coming to my brain, and our creative comrade was there to enjoy my silly comments.
"It's turning into an over sized clown car." The description was perfect, seeing as there wasn't an end in sight to the amount of people who were getting onto the bus, but I was more than set with the sardine image in my mind. Then a more than fitting line came to me, but I only said it loud enough for our ally of pen to hear me, and possibly those around us as well.
"It's people! It's people! You have to tell them, Soilant Green is people!" Needless to say, if you know where this line came from it's kinda funny... in a weird way. This was the beginning of a good end to the day and conversation with the another member of our creative writing league as I shall so call us.
