this morning on the bus

there are many types of people i relish coming into contact with on the bus. there's "lay my whole body against the pole so others can't hold on"-man, for example. but he must be on holiday as i haven't seen him in a while.

this morning i met a new friend: "let my body sway to the rhythm of the bus"-woman (who has merged with "back up into the person behind me and then look around and glare"-woman to become a new and wholy more enjoyable travel-mate)

i did run into "stand like a star fish, gripping two not altogether adjacent poles so as to block maybe 5 people holding on"-guy, which was really special as it had been a while since we saw eachother.

i MUCH prefer riding the bus to work (versus taking the eerily quiet tube). holding on for dear life while the driver takes curves on two wheels really helps focus the mind for the day ahead.
