oh yeah, and sanaz nearly killed me today. so we were walking to her car which is parked a little past ralph's. actually, sanaz wanted to take the bus first, but i told her that i didn't think any of them would go that way. we argued about it for a little while actually because she was so sure that there was one that went to ralph's, and i was pretty certain that there wasn't. so after standing at the bus stop for like, two minutes, sanaz decides to start walking cuz she wants to get to the bank before it closes. so we've barely started walking when the 41 bus passes by and stops at the stop light just next to the va hospital. i didn't even notice it was the 41 bus, but sanaz starts getting all excited, yelling, "THAT'S OUR BUS!! THAT'S OUR BUS!!" and like, pushes me into the middle of the street to try to cross to the va hospital stop in order to get there before the bus. in the meantime, i just look around all confused, "what...?" so i've just been pushed into the middle of the street when sanaz yells, "CHERRY!! STOOOOP!!!" and pulls me back and so i stop smack dab in the middle of the street, just in time to miss getting run over by this white pickup going in the opposite direction. so the pickup passes us and we cross and make it to the stop before the bus gets there, but here's the kicker: we DIDN'T take the bus.

[at the bus stop, panting]
sanaz: ...oh...i think you're right....i don't think this is the right bus.
me: ......

i very nearly became roadkill in order to make it to the stop in time to NOT take the bus. we ended up just walking all the way to her car, which i expected we would anyway. you know, it's a good thing i don't freak out very easily. okay okay, so maybe some of you call that being "slow" but hey, would you rather have two hysterical girls trying to cross the street, or one (sanaz)? really, this was all sanaz's fault. she was quite hysterical, pushing and pulling at me. and i know she's reading this right now. after the whole incident, she said, "at least this will make an interesting blog, right?"

so there. that was my interesting story for the day. the whole thing was actually pretty funny especially the narrowly-escaped-death part. now back to studying. :)
