We ride the E-Ride.

So last night started off ordinary. It all started with a very long PhiLamb meeting and a game of "Two Truths and a Lie." Normal. Then the usual "second dinner" occured. Again, normal. I had cereal, like usual, and got my bubble bursted, like usual, when the milkshake machine still wasnt working. Normal. (which is why i WILL be running for VP of the Food Advisory Committee. we just want our milkshakes!)(i need a campaign slogan if anyones creative). So, the night was still normal. No green skies or barking cats or kangaroos walking backward. All normal. (***Kangaroos are the only 4 legged mammal that cant walk backwards***) So dinner was over and we were getting ready to leave and get back to homework, and/or E News in my case. One thing led to another and me and Josie found ourselves on the left hand side, third row of the E-Ride. That is when i knew it would be a night to remember. Little info on the E-Ride- you can call anytime from 9 pm to 2 am and they will pick you up in a cute little short bus and take you wherever you want to go. Cool right? So it is usually for drunk or lazy people. But we took it because of pure safety reasons, well and a little bit of laziness. Plus, we needed a little adventure. So the E-Ride. We get on, find a seat, and relax into our super comfie, flu covered bus seats. Were the only Caucasians on the bus, so that kinda took away some of the normalcy as well since we had just had dinner with 7 fellow Caucasians.Then Edward hit the gas and we were off. Not gonna lie, I was kind of scared. So I've never been good at talking quietly . I just have aloud voice that carries and I cant help it. And when your on a bus, late a night, with a bunch of strangers, its not good to have a loud voice. So we kind of stood out even more. Im sure they loved our conversations though. Which by the way...The average English conversation uses about 150 words per minute. Betcha didnt know that. So me and Josie were about 1000 words into our E-Ride, and we find ourself in the ghetto. NOT on campus like we were supposed to be. Then i started getting worried. This is about the time that Josie begain explaining to me how handy the E-Ride really is. Turns out that you can pay a little and they will drive you all the way to San Antonio! (were doing it real soon.) And as Josie noted, its even better if the driver is cute, because your stuck with him for 4 hours. So we hope to get lucky. Edward wasnt too bad, we wont complain about him. The E-Ride finally pulled up to my stop, so i had to get off and leave Josie on the bus alone until it got to her stop. I felt horrible. But she made it back safely, and we are currently planning next weeks E-Ride trip. Which leads to fact of the day- On average 25 million children ride a school bus each day. And that doesnt even include all of the E-Rider's out there. The bus was introduced in 1662 by Pascal. I have no idea why they didnt put that little tidbit in any of our science books. Oh well. And thanks to him, we had a fantastic night experiencing a little bit of Denton that not many people get to see.
