Thank you, lame hippie girl on the 3B

for answering a question I didn't even know I had:

Which is more annoying on the bus: Being forced to listen to rap or hippie music?

First, who actually thinks that everyone in their general vicinity is just dying to hear what's blaring out of their cellphone/iPod speakers?

And secondly... I have always hated being forced to listen to shitty rap music blaring out of someone's practically blown cellphone speakers. What ever happened to headphones? Hello people! Blow your own eardrums out. Not like it's real surprising, though. People are so rude/oblivious nowadays.

But I had no idea that people also blared shitty hippie music out of iPods all distorted-like. Really?

Well, there's a first. And I can tell you that being forced to listen to shitty hippie music sucks just as much as being forced to listen to shitty rap music.

Geeking out.


(SS) Abby told me how all the Hollywood Videos are closing in the Twin Cities last night. (/SS)

(TT) I went to one, and I was the only customer. It was incredible. 10 DVDs for $10, just like Abby said! I started rummaging through the SCIFI section... Such goodies! Old Batman stuff... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... All my favs! Even things I didn't know existed, but that I instantly knew I would love... all there for ME, and super cheap. Then all of a sudden people started crowding in on either side of me. My arms full of treats, I made my way through the crowd. I'm short, so it's easy to get lost... You know when there are so many people that you can't tell which direction you are going?

I managed somehow to get out of the crowd. And walked into what I can only describe as... Comic Book Guy's estate sale. OMG. Heaven. Again I was alone, and had first dibs on everything. (/TT)
