so...i made it, but lacked a conection >..<

So, shortly after my little freak-out at the bus station I, calmed the fuck down and, was able to rearrange both busses to the next day...for no charge. I called my Gran in town to pic me up since my sis and her mom were at work and my bro was off to training for the weekend. I decided to stay over there for the night since here place was literally down the street from the bus. Got some sleep since I had been up the night before packing my shit to catch the bus I missed.


So I finally hit up the bus early Friday morning...it was a little crowded, but I don't mind that at all. Being from Chicago, I'm use to riding on a bus or train squished between three people...this time it was only one and a wall, quite comfy. A stop here a stop there, we were only forty minuets off schedule by the time we got to Pittsburgh...and that's fine by me. I found the next bus, hopped on...and was finally on my way to see my darling. Things got a little cockeyed once I was in the city though. Apparently there are two stops for the bus in Morgantown, one at it's headquarters...the other at the bus depot. Guess what...I got off at the wrong stop. >..<


It was kinda crappy since the web-site doesn't mention that there are two stops...and which on is which. But it was ok...I was at least in the city, and there was a local bus that dropped me off at the depot. From there it was a matter of following google maps! Taking a few wrong turns due to some oddly angling intersections and a few missing street signs, I got to a certain spot and called my baby up and asked him the best way from where I was. Unknown to both of us, I was standing in front of his place at the time of the call, so the instructions he gave me were quite confusing.


Let me tell you this, Morgantown, West Virginia is not a place you want to get lost in...not because the streets are dangerous, oh no! It's because the streets are so fecking steep!!! I walked up, and down...and up again...and almost down once more where I stopped halfway and said, "Wait one minute!". I decided to ignore the directions for they were getting me no where except closer to a hospital for exhaustion. I began to look at the numbers like any sensible person would do...and I saw them jump. That's just strange...well, I found that in between the two numbers there were a set of stairs, with no numbers, to a house, with no front door.


I now completely knew what he was talking about...it just kinda irked me that, I passed this house FOUR TIMES!!! >..< Meh, it's all good...I headed towards the back and up another set of stairs to find one of his room mates in the living room chillin'. Good thing too, cause the b/f didn't get off work for another two hours. But, it was worth the wait...basically the whole theme of this trip. Through all the waiting, the trouble, the tight spots I've gotten into...they've all been worth it to finally be with someone who truly loves me...even if he just started a new job and has to work every day. Oh-well.
