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.

stuck in a hole - for now

well, all was well and going to plan...I left last Friday from Chicago to Toledo, staying the week with my brother and sister. A little partying, a little chilling, a little watching the baby niece...and here it is, Thursday morning. I should be on a bus right now heading to Pittsburgh!!! The station opened at five in the morning, the bus left at five fifteen...I got there at four and the station was locked up tight and dark, so i chilled in the parking lot in the front. An hour later the lights popped on, it was five-five...I packed the few things i had to amuse me for the time and walked to the front...only to find the doors were locked!!! I jogged around back to find that my bus was about to leave...and I still hadn't claimed my ticket! I get inside, where a couple just approached the desk...I ask if i could go ahead, since my bus was about to leave. But, NOOOOOO!!!1!! The clerk already started with them...I was freaking out my friends, FREAKING! The bus pulled away just as they got there tickets...I went up to the clerk, and it literally too five seconds to print my ticket...my pre-paid ticket!...my pre-paid ticket for a bus that just left ten seconds ago!!!! I was PISSED...I still am pissed. So, here I am...stuck in Toledo, Ohio for the time being...till I can figure what to do, with a useless ticket...and another bus that i can't catch, since I HAD to catch the first one out! My b/f doing his best to keep me calm...but it's so hard with all this crap going on. I want to see him...I can't wait to see him...but I wanted my plan to work out...which it hasn't. Now, it hasn't failed, it's just gone so horribly astray. I might be able to catch the next bus from here to Pitts at eleven fifty...which gets there at six...and the only bus from Pitts to Morgantown leaves at two! FOUR HOURS AGO!!! I might be able to try this again tomorrow if I can convince the other bus company to shift the day...for another ticket i already bought! But no matter what, I have to pay at least fifteen bucks to change the ticket from Toledo to Pittsburgh from the one I missed to any other date. I'm just so pissed...I almost cried! The bus was literally next to me as i stood in line to get the ticket to get on it...I watched it pull away. That was the worst part...if I missed it before hand...and it was already gone, maybe not so much freaking out on my part. BUT I WAS THERE FOR AN HOUR BEFORE HAND!!!

I'm Every Where, and I'd Like To Share!

So, as booted up Fire-Fox today, I noticed how many ways there are to find me On-Line. The fact that I have two blogs is kinda odd for me...I just never seemed like the person who would take time to talk about myself here on the Inter-Web. But here I am, typing in a program that can post to multiple Blogs at once. Any who, I guess I'll get to listing off my many connections!


Face Book - You'll find me there under Bob Krause, I'm starting to clean it up a bit but it's still a little cluttered. I just want everything that junks up my name, out of there.


My Space - There is a page that I have there, under BigBouncingBob, but i haven't dose anything with that page in at least two years...It's really bad looking, I need to clean it up at some point.


Blogger - It was my first blog found under BigBouncingBob, it has a little more here and there, but now that I've found this neat program I'm posting the same content to both blogs.


LiveJournal - At first I avoided LJ all together, I didn't want any of the drama that seems to brew there...but I gave in and ~poof~ here it is, found under WHY the Dragon.


Orkut - Who could forget Orkut? Such a silly little social site where it seems like EVERYONE is from Brazil! (Bob Krause)


There are also other instances of my presence in the grate WWW...like my art pages;


Fur Affinity - The primary hub of my artwork...actually, the only one at the moment. But any-who, you can find me there under William Yamagoshi though I am trying to get it changed to my new found artist identity, WHY the Dragon. (A play on my initials as a furry, William Heyer Yamagoshi).


Yiff Star - Yes, I'm on YS as well...though, I haven't posted anything there, you can find me as WHY the Dragon.


Anthor Star - Of course if I'm on one, I'll be on the other...WHY the Dragon.


And just to squeeze a few on the end:


Pounced - Because it's always nice to have your fingers in all the pies, Nooo...not like that! (dirty, dirty mind!) There I be under William Yamagoshi, just chillin' my heart there.


LAFF wiki - Just so there's a little more of me out there for all of you, I posted it on my local furry group's wiki as me, William Yamagoshi.


Pandora - Where I go to catch a crazy string of sweet songs, just what I was lookin' for...under, Bob K. WooT, yeah! ROCK \m/ >..< \m/


Well that's it for me...got other things to do than this, so...


--Peace! I/O
