    car bopping…

    November 30th, 2006

    an hours journey to work managed to prove that chivalry is well and truly dead!

    i’m the first for independance, i’m happy to pay my way and i don’t expect a man to carry my bags (although wouldn’t that be lovely - you could shop for so much longer!). my journey to work this morning managed to convince me that boys are just mean and put on this planet to test us!

    it all started with the fact that I’m suffering with man flu - honestly, it has to be man flu because i’m feeling really sorry for myself! the problem is that i’m meant to be partying on saturday and at the moment i’ve lost my voice and my throat is the size of…. well, I don’t know, something big!

    anyway, back on to the original subject, i love my commute to work as it gives me a chance to connect up my ipod and sing my heart out! you see the thing is, my car becomes my bubble, i think that i become invisible!

    today was slightly different though, as i couldn’t sing, i was getting in to the groove and managed to throw a few moves in my seat! as i was stopped at the lights, i managed a shoulder pop and was just in the middle of the head roll when i heard a beep. i looked to my right to find a car with two guys in, literally laughing their socks off and imitating me! as if that wasn’t bad enough, the fact that they had beeped had drawn everyone’s attention to them and me too! i swear, i’ve never seen so many people look so alert that early in the morning!

    slightly rosey cheeked, i continued my journey in to work and was pulled up about to reverse in to a space (yes girls can parallel park!) when a man in a brown car drove in to the space! what is that all about i ask you? it’s beyond my comprehension… girls would just never do that!

    having found another space, parked up and dropped all of my bags in the process of getting out of the car - i was quite relieved when i was strolling towards work. i heard a commotion in the trees and saw two birds fighting - they seemed really agitated! i’m renound for often thinking things out loud and before you know it, i’m walking down the street talking to myself! anyone walking past would have heard me saying “leave him alone you nasty bird” - only someone did and it happened to be the man that had stolen my space! as if he hadn’t already been mean enough for one day, he looked at me with a pitying look and said (in his words!) “they’re doing it, get over it”.

    who would ever think that a simple journey to work could become so challenging. it was all brightened though by crossing the road with johnny depp - so it can’t all be that bad i suppose :-)
