Perhaps I'm just too nosy but there are times when I become unwillingly pulled into other people's conversations. On some occasions, it wonderful because you can get to know someone new by getting involved in their conversations. However, there are those times when people have inane dialogues in really loud voices and you just want to smack them up-side the head.

Tonight, on the inter-city coach from my town to the big city, I was unfortunate enough to sit in front of a couple of people that needed to put a cork in it. The clencher was when the guy started talking about which girl would be a more suitable girlfriend for him. Not a big problem for some, but this guy was so obviously latently gay.

And the girl who was travelling with him was either totally oblivious or afraid to address the truth.

In hindsight, it was pretty amusing to listen to their banter because they were so clueless about a lot of things. However, one has to wonder why some people have to talk so loudly in an enclosed place. Even the guy in front of me was annoyed with them. Lucky for these two people that none of the other passengers were of a violent nature.

Note (added Jan.29): Interestingly enough, this same guy (minus his friend) was on the same bus coming back to Victoria on Saturday night. I got to see his girlfriend too... Poor girl.

On a brighter note, the sun came out today. It wasn't sweltering hot but it was good to see the brilliant orb, which is the sun, shining up in the sky. It's even supposed to be like this until next week.

My new music books came in today and so I picked them up. There's really no excuse to not get started now. Wish me luck.
