the simple things.

why is it that, when i see a cute boy on MUNI it (almost) makes my whole day? it's pretty comical.

i think it's because the MUNI line that i take regularly - which weaves its way through the tenderloin and provides a myriad of interesting, shall we say "characters" of which to observe (this is where the anthropology degree comes in handy - see mom?!?) - doesn't really afford me the opportunity to see cutie patooties who bathe and use the bathroom indoors. mostly just crackheads and men who rather fastidiously pick at the gross scab on the back of their head (seriously, i've seen him three times in the last week - sooooo so wrong). so yeah, attractive young men are a welcome distraction from the monotony of my 27.3 minute commute...

i thought about this last night when i was on my way to the of montreal show. i was staring out the window, listening to my iPod, and turned my eyes back to the inside of the bus...and accidentally made eye contact with a cute boy who was sitting near the front. eye contact with strangers makes me uncomfortable, if you don't know that about me. yes - i am (semi)shy. i know YOU don't believe that, but it's true. it's the reason i can't go up and talk to boys at bars or shows or parties or the grocery store (seriously, people don't actually do that, do they?) - i'm a dork. anyway, i was like "crap crap, that cute boy thinks i was staring at him and i wasn't!" and got all weirded out. uh huh - no wonder i don't have a boyfriend! I AM A TOTAL NERD.

then, this morning when i was waiting on MUNI there was another cute boy waiting at my stop. two in a mere 12 hour time period? that's like winning the cute boy on MUNI lottery! haha. and when the bus came, he waited and let me go in front of him - le sigh, how gentlemanly! i think we should totally get married. if i can find him again and actually speak...but who am i kidding, we all know i'm never going to do that. little miss nerdy mcdorkster strikes again!
