Alright, so I'm pretty sure I've mentioned my hatred for buses before. For those who haven't read that, here's the quick recap: I hate buses, trains are better. So last night I went with a bunch of my friends to this tree lighting event in Downtown Pittsburgh. It was pretty cool, I mean everything was decked out for Christmas, and I love Christmas. There were some fireworks which were all right, I'm really not into them. Too much noise for something pretty in my opinion. Anyway, after the fireworks were over, like directly after, my friends decided it would be a good idea to basically sprint to a bus stop so that we could catch a bus early. Smart idea, right? It was smart, except when you're far behind the rest of the group, then its just annoying.
So somehow, I ended up being that person. Not because I was slow, more because everyone just took off when I wasn't paying attention. The worst part of this race, aside from not knowing where I was going (I don't know my way around Downtown Pittsburgh), was sprinting across the street and almost getting run over.
My friend Nick was leading our part of the pack, and he decides to try and make a yellow. Understandable, except by this point I was at least ten feet behind everyone else. There was no way I was making it. I even waited at the corner, because by the time I got to the intersection the light had gone red. But no, this other guy Chris was like waving me on, telling me basically to run for it. So me being me awkwardly sprinted across the street and tried not to get hit by a car. Thanks Nick, for almost killing me. =)
P.S. We made the bus and got seats, which was good because it was beyond PACKED! At least the running was for something.
