I rode the bus to church today. I had started driving every Sunday because I couldn't get up early enough to get there in time, but now that I live in a building with it's own bus stop with a route that, in about 15 minutes, drops me off literally 3 blocks from church there's just no excuse. The nice thing about riding the bus in DC (and actually, probably in most places) is that you are always, always entertained. Today was no exception.
The first 2 blocks were actually pretty quiet, but then Diana got on (yes, that would be Diana Ross) . "Good morning everybody!" (the entire bus actually said good morning back, which was nice I thought). In the 10 blocks following, she introduced herself to everyone, sang 3 versus of "That's what friends are For", managed to dump her entire bag of dirty laundry on the floor of the bus, accosted the woman who sat next to her with some really bad Spanish (I think she just threw every Spanish word that she knew in something that resembled a sentence...the other woman just looked confused and kind of scared), sang what I think was a verse of "The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston, tried to steal a woman's boyfriend, offered a pair of jeans (from her bag of dirty laundry) to a woman on the bus who was about 3 sizes smaller than she was (the woman said that she didn't need any more jeans but did thank her for asking), and shared a very interested story about her ex boyfriend (yeah, it was a bit too explicit for my blog....sorry).
Before she got off the bus she repeated a verse of "that's what friends are for" and said goodbye.
Sometimes I wish I could be a crazy bus lady and give other people things to write about on myspace. :)
