chasing the sun

i spent an hour riding the bus home from work today and maybe it was because I was so exhausted from lack of sleep, but I was so unbelievably annoyed by the young couple sitting behind me. I have no idea what could have had them in hysterics (may be a bit dramatic) for so long, but I swear they giggled for an entire hour, saying absolutely nothing at all. It is moments like these when I wish I had my headphones, or something else to occupy my attention so I wouldn't be so absorbed in someone else's business.

Anyway, I was so relieved to be getting off at my stop, when who should stand up to follow me out but the couple in question. AHHHHH!!! I walked to the corner and was into a decent jog by the time I crossed the street a good ten feet before reaching the crosswalk. Their laughter grew in intensity and followed me as I ducked into an alley, opting for the darkened shortcut home rather than be subject any longer to their inane nonsense.

By the time I reached my apartment, I was furious...I stormed into my bedroom, threw down my purse and kicked off my shoes. I threw on some comfy clothes (which I always do when I first get home) and reheated some leftover mac and cheese. As I ate and explained to my roommate about the rude couple, I felt utterly ridiculous...

And the moral of this story is: Don't skip meals...it makes you even more cynical than you already are.
