That, and CSI.

CSI?

It's an American tv show. They do cool lab tests and stuff to figure out who murdered who.

Pretty much.
And nope, wasn't high.
Was actually awake, so I can understand.
*yawn*
Earth Day's kinda stupid, but it was REALLY cool to see the strip dark.

I asked loads of people to switch off their lights on Earth Day & got a terrible shock when Earth Day commenced. One of my friend's parents decided to throw her a surprise party & invited me to it. They lived outside the city, yet I decided to go. The thing is, I didn't know the area well. I took a bus to their place, but on reaching the last stop I realized, their house was further away. So a lady took me to a bus stop to catch another bus. There I had to wait for about 35 mins for the next bus(frequency was abysmal). To make matters worse, there were 2 guys(not much older than me) who kept staring at me. I wasn't really bothered-it was a public place. Many buses came & went(though not the one I wanted). Those boys kept looking at me every time a bus came, to check whether I was going to board it. When at long last my bus came, they boarded it along with me. I freaked out & so called my friend's brother & told him everything. He asked me to get down at the last stop & wait for him. It was a safe place, he said. So I got down there & so did the 2 guys. There was this brilliantly lit & colourful estate & it was just near the highway. I felt completely safe & just then all the lights went off-Earth Hour had commenced. The streetlights were on-but there was hardly any light where i was standing. I never remembered feeling more scared in my life- I just grew numb. And the boys were just there right in front of me......I thought I was goner. But believe it or not, just then my friend's bro came in his dad's car & I ran into it. I made him go into every road & gulley (just in case they happen to follow us, tho9ugh I don't know how they would have managed that; seeing that there was no auto or taxi nearby) & after 10 mins, we reached their home. In hindsight, I think I was really over-reacting, I could have easily ran to the highway or shouted or anything-but when the lights went off I sought of lost my mind. I was never more scared in my life. And when my friend's bro asked me to explain everything, I started crying like a fool.

Woof, sorry to hear that...
Creeepy mofos are about everywhere, it seems.
I had a dude eying me like that on the bus a couple nights ago, but he didn't get off when I did.
Consequence of riding the bus after midnight.

You have not even begun to experience creepy until you've taken a cheap cross-country coach at 2:30 in the morning. Dear gods.

The bus. Favoured gathering place for creepy people everywhere.

'Bout half my neighbourhood had their lights off, same as last year.

Does Britain count as cross-country?
More like cross-state for me :)

Well given "Britain" isn't a country, probably not..

Oh, sorry.
United Kingdom.
Better?

That's not a country either.
The countries are:
England
Scotland
Wales
Northern Ireland

=P

Well, technically the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island is a country, and is usually shortened to just the United Kingdom, so I think we can let him off..

Yeah. We're told in Geography it's the UK anyway.

Edit: Here's a handy Venn diagram!

Oh, cool.
Now the naming scheme actually makes sense.
Ah, eighth period...
I really probably should be doing my work, but nobody is so w.e.

Aren't your friends raising their eyebrows at you going on a forum?

Man, qntm is awesome.. I love the International Earth Destruction Advisory Board.

Pfft, they don't pay attention.
Nobody really cares who's on what unless somebody's got a new MySpace proxy that works.

Hah, there was a question on Jeopardy today that was something like that.
