An Adventure in Veepland...

so, today Arriba and I decided to meet up at Veepland again to go over some more military take-overs, the storming of holy temples, the policy of lashing women for being raped and other not-so-nice-events that unfortunately happened in the unfortunate lands of I and P. This tryst with the subcontinent's at-times horrific and disgusting history didn't last as long as the last one; nor was it as exciting.

We didn't get table darling. Some guy was there and it was bad. So we found another one and it served us relatively well..nowhere near to table darling..but oh well. So we studied hard and then decided it was time for coffee...when my phone rang...

The bridge had been closed. And for anyone who lives in this city, you know what horrible things happen when it closes..There was so much wind that the causeway had been blocked by trees and branches...and so they closed the bridge, during rush hour. And so, I was ordered to get on the first bus from Veepland and to get home before the weather got worse. V-city is famous for shutting down at the slightest inclement weather. Seriously, it'll rain constantly for 29 days and nothing will happen. But it starts getting windy and everything shuts down. It sux.

So I left Veepland as quickly as I could (without my coffee..yes it was that bad) and ran outside to get a bus. I saw the 240 (my bus) waiting at the bus stop..and ran across the street in order to catch it. I had to run across the other street but had to wait for the traffic to stop...and as soon as it did, the bus decided to leave from the stop. And so, Arriba and I ran...we ran fast and my boots almost came off. And thankfully, the bus had stopped at a red light. So we got to the bus, and the bus driver was on the phone with translink...and so I knocked on the door. He didn't open it. Arriba and I waited 5 minutes, in the pouring rain and howling wind, but he didnt open the door. When he finally opened it, my glasses were so wet i could barely see. After bidding adieu to Arriba, I got onto the bus and sat down....hoping that I'd be able to get home (I think I forgot to say that I had..well have...an exam tomorrow morning at 8:30am and need to leave my house by 7am...so I was worried)

The stupid bus driver didn't tell us that the bridge was actually closed, and started down the road towards the bridge. Afterwards, he told us that he was actually taking us to Waterfront Station so that we could catch the SeaBus. I was pissed-off because I could've taken the Skytrain with Arriba but was made to waste 25 minutes going down a street I didnt have to.

So we finally got to the station..and boy the water was rough...apparently, the wind was so bad that a couple of flags had gotten ripped in half...and so, I got onto the SeaBus and made it across the water safe and sound...

I still haven't had my coffee though...so I'm sad. Maybe Arriba and I will get some coffee after our exam tomorrow...who knows...

Anyway..back to studying...meh (I'm almost done..yay!)


That's it for now...ciao, adios, au revoir...and remember...to be born again, first you must die
