Date: Friday, 8 February 2008 03:30 pm (UTC)You've come across a secret Facebook party and everyone on the bus is dressed up for a luau. You:
[ take a seat beside the ukelele player, ask him to play tiny bubbles and serenade the bus ]
[ sit at the front of the bus and chat with the driver about crazy kids these days ]
[ shout Aloha to the crowd, strip down as much as you can and join in the festivities ]

Date: Friday, 8 February 2008 04:26 pm (UTC)[another person starts to pick up the harmony and someone else suggests the three of you start a band. You contemplate the suggestion]
[everyone looks dazed, including you, and the singing ukelele player grins fiendishly and keeps lulling you all into some sort of trance]
[the bus driver yells, "Keep it down! Can't ya see I'm trying to drive here!"]
(may I steal this for my own journal?)
[another person starts to pick up the harmony and someone else suggests the three of you start a ban
Date: Friday, 8 February 2008 04:39 pm (UTC)The applause and smiling faces give you the courage to spontaneously say, "You know, programming is boring. I quit. Want to go on tour?"
There are more smiles and even the bus driver joins in on the next song.
The bus doesn't stop again until you get to:
[ a car accident in the next block. ]
[ Toledo. ]
[ Honolulu. ]
[Honolulu]
Date: Saturday, 9 February 2008 03:08 am (UTC)You:
[Get off the bus]
[Spend some time wondering how the bus got across the Pacific without you noticing]
[Wait for the next stop]
[Wait for the next stop]
Date: Sunday, 10 February 2008 10:01 pm (UTC)Suddenly, you notice everyone left on the bus is changing into:
[diving suits]
[space suits]
[three-piece suits]
