podling | Twilight Zone Friday...

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...
