The More You Talk

… the less I hear.
This stupid woman annoyed me on the bus on the way home from work. I wasn’t really sitting to the side of the seat. I was sitting somewhat in the middle, with my bag and coat sort of hanging off me and hanging down the side.
The bus had stopped in front of a train station where a lot of people were getting on. Before I even had the chance to shift over so someone could sit, this stupid woman, on the phone, talking loudly in some foreign Asian language I could not decipher, literally plonked down on the seat… or what was visible of it.
She pretty much sat on my coat and half my bag. Bitch.
I know I didn’t move over. But it’s still stupid of her to literally bounce her ass down on the seat when my stuff was clearly there.
I yanked at my coat that was sitting under her rear end, and I had to yank it a second time before she realised she was sitting on my stuff. Still on the phone, she finally moved and got her rear end off my stuff.
For the thirty minutes she was sitting next to me, I was very annoyed. She was on the phone most of the time. Normally this wouldn’t have annoyed me but she was talking really loudly. Listening to This Abyss by Armor For Sleep, I turned up the volume until it nearly hit its maximum.
Ben Jorgensen screaming in my ears was pretty satisfying, until I realised the control I had of his voice wasn’t much use when this woman was talking louder than he was singing. How rude.
I wanted to tell her to kindly fuck off, but that wasn’t an option. I was pretty relieved when she got off.
The bad news is that I’m still sick.
My cold seems to have become worse (my nose more runny) and yesterday I lost my voice and when I spoke, it came out as a tiny whisper. I can talk now, but my throat still aches.
It still feels like there is an amphibian raging at my sinuses.
Anyway, in other news, I’ve been posting a lot of photos on TwitPic lately, so I decided to get a DailyBooth account instead. Follow me if you have one!
And follow Lilian too.
I’ve deactivated my spam plugin for now. I have a feeling it might be eating up people’s comments that are not spam. I’ll see how it goes for a day or so.
Things have been a little bit rough at home, but I don’t want to go into detail. I don’t really like writing about my family so much, because I don’t like being negative and I don’t like saying negative things about them. These things happen. I basically got into a number of arguments with my mum over things like my sleeping patterns (which I promise I will fix these holidays, I swear, they’ll be fantastic by Feburary!), computer addictions (self explanatory) and lack of participation in house chores (that one gets an excuse me? because honestly, I do a lot; my brother and dad barely do any!).
So that’s that. I might be putting up a new layout on the weekend… not too sure. I have a little bit of extra time this week because my work days have been shifted around.

I’ve been addicted to making new layouts lately. I’ve made two more (other than the wooden one) So now I have to choose between three layouts.


lol.
I’d say that might be the equivalent to your woman-on-cellphone-in-bus situation.
I know it’s rather rude to say “hey girl, I want to stop being your friend”, but honestly I can’t stand anymore
And I should get going to sleep too!
I can’t wake up early. I’ve actually tried so many times, it doesn’t happen. Sometimes I sleep right through my alarms, sometimes I hear them but fall straight back to sleep. It’s such a pain, and I’m always tired so early mornings just aren’t for me.
. i thought most people would just ignore them

Oh. My. God. What a ridiculously inconsiderate, uncouth woman!
How dare she sit on your belongings? What if she had broken something?
I mean, okay you were sitting in the middle of the seat, but that’s not rude unless someone asks you to move and you don’t. I mean I sit on the outer edge of the seat all the time when I’m sitting by myself to keep out of the sun, but if the bus gets full I move.
But really, usually people have to say “EXCUSE ME!” and politely ask you to move, instead of just plonking down on your stuff. Like wtf?
How rude of her. She has NO MANNERS!
Respect peoples’ property please. It’s more rude to just sit on someone’s stuff and talk non-stop in a loud voice than to sit in the middle of the seat. Besides it’s perfectly reasonable to do so if everyone else has a seat. HMPH!
She needs to learn how to behave in public. Having a loud conversation on the phone in a public space is inconsiderate and very rude!
Awwww
*hugs* Sucks about the cold. But usually runny noses mean that the cold is getting better, right? Like when it progresses from blocked to runny
But yeah…awww
It really, REALLY sucks that you’re not well.
Hehe! Dailybooth! Aww,thanks for telling people to follow me
I’m not addicted yet, though
I hope you don’t get spammed!
And awwwww! (for the 3rd time or something). Family problems are GAY
I hope everything is okay now
And you can always talk to me if you want
You do SO do housework!
You do LOTS of housework. You should see what I do at home. I sit around all day and be lazy.
YES! SLEEPING PATTERNS! WE WILL FIX THEM! SOON! Haha.
Oh! YAAAAAY! NEW LAYOUT! *excited*

I know! I was thinking, bitch, if my iPod was in my pocket, I would have hit you real hard.
I usually sit near the window but I relax and don’t squish up until someone is coming. I usually do move when someone wants to sit though. Just watch where the fuck you’re going to sit!
Ugh, she was loud. Very loud. Gahhh. I swear, the bus was so quiet and all I could hear except for my music was her voice. Balls.
*hugs* That’s what you told me! So maybe it’s fading out. Hopefully. It’s getting rid of pathogens through my mucus. Gross.
But hopefully I am getting better! And yes, when it stops getting blocked that is good.
Hahha I hopefully won’t! But you might get some new followers maybe!
Yay.
I was going to tell you but I hate talking about it… it’s the general stuff. And stuff mostly got sorted out anyway. I would have told you but I was being told off big time then. Which is why I texted you instead.
I wish I could tell my mum that. HAHA. You don’t seem like the kind to not do housework though! Maybe it shall come to you magically as soon as you get married. LOL.
YES ERM. COUGH. It’s getting a bit late now?
