Twilight Zone Friday...

[podling]

Right, so it took me FOREVER to get home on Friday. Everyone needs a major catastrophe buddy, and I have found mine. I finally get on a bus, and who sits next to me but the guy who sat next to me on the last ride from hell, the day of the big blackout. But this time, not only does he have excedrin migraine pills, he also has a crossword for us to do! He thought ahead. I also thought ahead, and brought hershey kisses.

So we start on the crossword. But the Friday crossword is kind of hard, and it's taking us forever... and sometime in the second hour we start calling people, asking them if they know the answers to clues (special thanks to Celia, who looked up a river for us, though her insistence that we should stop cheating was wrong!). About then was when we realized that we were stuck in the most boring Twilight Zone (or Outer Limits, for those with a preference) episode ever! It became obvious that we wouldn't arrive home until we finished it. The third hour passed, we still weren't done. Sea swan? What the hell is that? Now you're just making up words... And then! After only 3 hours and 15 minutes, we finish!!! Yay!

Five minutes later, we arrive at our final destination. We were right...

I'm still suffering from Angels In America after effects, but that was just so heart warming. Hershey kisses and a crossword puzzle?! The third time this happens, he'll have that engagement ring....

Yeah! We're definitely into romance-novel territory here.

Heh.

[podling]

It would be more in the vein of modern brit chick lit ones though. I mean, how many romance novels involve the boy and girl taking excedrin migraine pills to take the edge off a bus ride, making them both hyper by the end of it? Plus I do have a bigger crush on a different commuter man anyway...

[cissa.livejournal.com]

Romantic comedy, certainly. It's a classic "cute meet." It was Meant To Be!!!!

But I have to advise you to stop crushing on this other guy. Since Bus Fellow is obviously your True Love, all another crush can do is lead to plot complications. And while I love reading about plot complications, I think they're less attractive to live through.

You see how fictional structure can clarify your life???? :)

[podling]

Yeah, but sometimes the plot is like this... girl falls for Obvious True Love, he turns out to be schmuck, and girl eventually ends up with first guy she crushed on anyway, who turns out to be the True True Love. Though you are right, fictional structure can make everything easier...

When they make your love story into a movie who will play you?

[podling]

The person I would most like to play me in any romance movie (this experience or others, whatever) is the chick from Two Girls and a Guy, I forget her name. She played the spunky bisexual chick. She doesn't actually accurately represent me, but I wish I could be that hot and cool at the same time. Yeah!

[podling]

Ah, but alas it is not to happen. I will stop taking the bus at the end of the year (in favor of the train), and that will be that. Besides, I prefer one of my other commuter buddies...

Freaky!!!
WTF was sea swan?

[podling]

And the answer is 'tern'. Or at least, that's what we decided it was. The veracity is up in the air. Much like a sea swan.

sorry have to say this. did you get any digits and maybe you can well

[podling]

No... and who knows? In this life, many things are possible. I'm leaning towards another guy though...

was this one cute at least

Heh. Yes, there is a Time for Everything, and understanding the connections goes a long way.... :)

[podling]

This is all true. I am constantly reminding myself of the interconnectedness of things. For me, the more I see the pattern, the cooler it all is. :)

And of course, this proves yet again that the podling is the nexus of chaos.
