My roomie Mandy says I get too enthusiastic about common things.

Case in point: I'm insanely happy to get my bus tickets for spring break. I usually fly home, but I can't afford $400 for plane tickets, so to Greyhound it is. The tickets were a LOT cheaper than I expected. Greyhound.ca listed the price as being insanely high (over $300 for return unless you bought the tickets in advance), but the final total was less than $150. Part of the savings was a student discount.

People whine and complain about the 20 hour ride, but I don't mind. It just feels like another great adventure to me. I can't wait to go. Plus my tickets are cool. I have FOUR tickets; the ride is broken up from T-Bay to Sudbury and Sudbury to Toronto. They're all strung together in this massive chain. It amuses me.

The major stops are in Terrace Bay, White River, the Sault St. Marie and Sudbury. I'm planning on taking an overnight bus, so some of those stops are wacky hours. 4:30 am, in the case of the Soo. Only meal stop is in Sudbury... for breakfast! Breakfast on the road, especially in winter, is one of my most favorite things in the world. Now I have to figure out what I'm bring with me on the bus. Need to sort through my CDs, maybe burn a new mix disk.... or three. Get some new comics.

Why yes, I am an easily excited fool. Thanks for noticing. Now move to the back with all the other cranky peoples of the world.

Oh.... and while I may not like hugs from friends that much, it turns out I really like getting my hair ruffled. Mandy mussed my hair in the mall while mocking me. I was going to protest, but I stopped and said "Holy crap, that seriously feels good". Yeah, I'm strange.

LOL Oh they're lying. Those are SO not the only stops. You get tons of wacky stops like every three hours for like, fifteen minutes or so. Yes, even at 3am. :) And usually they stop in Perry Sound for lunch too, cause the Sudbury stop is a one hour stop. (That one's only 20 mins though...) The bus is tons of fun...I don't know why people complain. Did you know that if you went to Hamilton instead of Toronto, it'd be an extra four hours? (How they figure that I'll never know...crazy bus logic...)

More stops? At wacky hours? The trip just became a million times cooler. 'Tis the side effect of living on the road a good chunk of my life.

Isn't there some crazy layover in Toronto before it goes to Hamilton? I figured it would be easier to just get my mom to pick me up.

OMG. HEAD SCRITCHIES! They feel so freaking good. @_@; I dunno what it is but damn... I really need to pick up one of those head things. It's like a little piece of wood with metal "strings" (kind of like wire coat hangers but more flexible) sticking out of it, and you rub it on your head and it feels so freaking good. XD Kind of looks like a spider or a claw of some sorts. o.O

And I don't think it's weird for you to get excited about travelling home on the bus. XD I'm not up for long rides myself but I always get so psyched when I'm going to be travelling somewhere, so much so that I end up packing my suitcase like, two days in advance. <lol> But your talk about breakfast makes me hungry, so I'm gonna get a quick bite to eat before going out to CCAC. XD Hehe!

LOL Hell yeah. Lots of stops at coffee shops and stuff. It's fun. I don't know about that...there might be a one hour layover, but then it goes to like, a bunch of stops. It would be easier to be picked up. But watch out, there's two bus stations in Toronto. Yorkdale and the Toronto bus station. So make sure your ride knows where you'll be. :)
