The Bitch Box

I hate it when people say things like "IMO" or "For me," or "everyone has a right to their own opinion, but..."

Of course everyone has their own ****ing opinion. I know that you are speaking your own opinion, and I know that I can disagree with it if it contradicts my own. Stop trying to be politically correct and just say what you think!

Oh, I also got an opportunity to sign up for a payed internship for Paramount Pictures this summer, where I'd have a mentor escort me around and take me to executive speeches and what not. I thought about it for hours and kept thinking about how I could make sure they accepted my application, but when reading the offer again, I realized that you have to be at least a sophomore. I'm a freshman. That sucked.

Nope! In Ireland the driver now takes the fare and gives you your ticket. No such things as conductors here again, ever. There was a huge fuss about it years ago; mnay ex-conductors had to learn to drive just to keep their jobs.

And our old buses (and the English ones) had no doors. Open at the back. Observe.

Great for jumping on and off of, not so great it you were pushed or fell down the stairs from the top deck! Or if it was raining and there were no seats.

Sorry the picture's so big but it was the only one that showed the actual "open door spot", as it were.

Well, the leprechauns need transportation as badly as everyone else.

I think this is the longest I've been single in years

and now that I don't have someone else to blind me to it, I'm not over my ex-fiancee and everyone I've dated or considered was me trying to replace him

Maybe it's a good thing you're single, it'll give you plenty of time to sift through all the arseholes.

I've actually never had a proper boyfriend and don't really know how relationships 'work' shall we say. I'm ridiculously independent and generally can't be bothered with people. Which I think is bad, I think I have commitment issues haha.

Weird! No door seems like an odd choice for a place that's known for being pretty rainy. I don't think that would have flown in the winter in most of the cities I've lived in. I wonder if they ever had conductors over here. They definitely didn't have them when I was little.
