no good songs on shuffle until portishead

having a soundtrack to drown out noisy bitches on their cell phones on the bus is totally worth it. this afternoon i spied five people wearing headphones. i wore them, too. i feel my city is relatively closed off from itself-- it's difficult to meet people here but i think i know why. i don't want to meet or talk to anyone on the bus. i want to tune out all the banal, mundane noises and focus on getting from point a to point b or catch up on us weekly. a guy next to me was rocking out today so hard-- i could hear his buttrock coming out of his headphones through my own headphones. he was even playing air guitar.

i try not to look anymore at anyone out of the ordinary. it's hard-- hot pink manic panic hair gets me every time. and this girl yesterday had tattooed hearts in a row up the back or her legs. what's strange is stuff like this isn't all that out of the ordinary here but still-- there are more brunettes than hot pink. i'm on the fence. obviously i don't want to stare because i don't want to be rude, but then i think about all these things like pink hair and think, hey, you can't not look and if you're wearing pink hair, do you not want someone to look a little? there is a certain shock factor and reactions that come with, so.

Ah, the wonder that is public transportation. I do miss having it around.

As for looking at people with weird hair, I'll tell you that when my sister had teal liberty spikes projecting about 9" from her head, she never once acted like a jerk when someone stared at her or asked her about her hair. I expected her to, because you know, Jackie can be a bitch sometimes, but she just said she couldn't very well expect people NOT to look. Anyone who makes a big deal about you looking is obviously just trying to garner more attention.

I went to a baseball game the night before last and there was a girl a few rows in front of us who had the most beautiful shade of purple in her hair. Made me wish I was 21 again. And I don't even like purple that much.

jackie with liberty spikes-- how cute! does she still have them? it's hard for me to imagine because the last image of her i have in my head is the high school JV cheerleading picture in the yearbook.
