Why is it that 80% of the people in this city are so self-absorbed that they cannot pay attention to anything that is going on around them? One: While riding my bike to school today, I got stuck behind two women riding slowly, which I would have tolerated on a normal day. These women had those stroller things attached to their bikes with kids in them. I'm ok with that, all for riding instead of driving, HOWEVER, the lady directly in front of me was smoking. Again, normally I don't care about people smoking, but she was blowing her smoke and trailing her cigarette right in her kid's face and also in mine. Then she just flicks the butt behind her, practically right into me. I don't believe for one second that she didn't know I had been right behind her for the last 6 blocks. Two: While riding my bike home today, some man sprayed me with a hose. He was facing me too, but he was too busy talking to his buddy to realize that people might want to use the sidewalk that he was hosing off. C'mon man, spray the sidewalk outside of Merlin's in the early morning like all the other businesses do. In his defense, he did say he was sorry, but he said it in the snotting "Why weren't you paying attention to my hose?" kind of voice. When I first got in front of him the hose was off, then he turned it on right on my leg.

(e:sqb) I am going to try to get as many people as possible to sign that petition about Pano's. I am fully in support of removing cars from the Elmwood scene, but I know it will never happen because people are too lazy and too attached to their pollution machines. My boyfriend and I are sick of hearing horrible blasting music and excessively loud motorcycles go by our apartment all day, every day, at all hours of the night. Granted, we are from the country and not used to all this ruckus, but I really think that the majority of car radios are too loud.

(e:springfaerie) That is one of the saddest things I have ever heard done to an animal. I can't even react to it right now, because my emotions are getting in the way.
