It seems sad that after so many exhilarating months The Mikado is over, it sounds quite odd to me, as I’m sure it does to some of the other cast members. 5 or so months of my life were taken up with the show and I can say confidently they were a most memorable 5 months, when one spends so much time focused on one particular thing it becomes extremely difficult to detach oneself. I will NEVER forget being Pitti-Sing, she is the most remarkable character and along with Katisha the best of the female roles to play, with a feisty sense of humor disguised by a beautiful face, her highlights include making a stand against the evil Katisha.

Now moving on to why I’m really writing today’s blog:-

I have recently moved house to a different area of the Isle of Wight, originating from Cowes I have moved to Newport (Capital of the Island,) there not particularly far apart but far enough for me to have to bus to school and back. Which is fine I don’t mind the bus journey so much, it’s just I do witness some of the most disturbing occurrences…picture the scene – This small single Decker bus is filled to the brim, to the extent I’m leaning on the doors, the bus driver is constantly telling people to move down the bus…they don’t, by the time we reach the next stop it becomes clear that these people are either deaf or far too important to move, two ladies with children attempt to get on …now bearing in mind there is a huge gap in the middle of the bus where no one can get to because a few ignorant students can’t be bothered to move this shouldn’t be too much of a problem…
Bus driver: Could you move down the bus please?
Various students: Blank expressions
Bus driver: You need to move down the bus
Various students: Blank expressions

By this time I’m pretty annoyed sighing allot and gritting my teeth, at their complete arrogance to not want to move into a space that only they can move too..

Me: You need to move down the bus there’s space, WE CANT FIT ANYMORE PEOPLE ON…MOVE!
And at last I think they understood what I was saying, so there we had it people were able to move around a little more, it did result it me getting stupid verbal abuse for the rest of the journey which to be honest was more entertaining than degrading…you can tell they don’t listen at school. Does anyone else ever encounter people like this, if so what is your reaction, or are you passive? I just don’t understand why do people not move? Their being asked to several times for bleeding sake!

Carrying on from this, one of the girls who had…in effect refused to move because she is too important was talking quite loudly about the time her mother punched her microwave door, she then went on to explain quite enthusiastically that her mother had lost a form to go visit her father in prison and so proceeded to punch the microwave door in and I’m sorry but I can’t help thinking there’s a trend in the family?…Sorry that last statement might seem a bit harsh, but when you are subjected to the mindless and quite pathetic drivel that one has to put up with on the bus ride home from school …you often need to just vent. More shockingly this is a typical conversation you would find on my bus ride home. And I just think …why?

Anyone answer?
