I haven't written in forever.
About a million things have happened that I would think "I should write about that" but then I would get sleepy or distracted and forget. I've been sleeping a lot. As in mononucleosis a lot. I'm not sure why I just have felt really tired and woooozey.
So.
Not so funny story yesterday.
Danny and I went to see Ironman (which was actually pretty good in my opinion, pretty funny, impressive soundtrack, a liiitle weird concept - you know giant iron man - but all around pretty good). So we get on the tram, right? And I sat down and got my wallet out to count out change for a tram ticket. It is $2.70 for a two hour pass and after like 6'oclock a two hour pass will get ya to the end of the night. So I get out $2.60 and I have another $2 coin in my hand but I wanted to see if Danny had ten cents so I said "Danny, do you have ten cents I can borrow" and then BAM, there's officers all over the tram and we got "busted" for not having tram tickets yet.
Officer: Can I see your tram ticket
(she'd old and ugly and wearing a weird scarf there was food crusted to it)
Mary: I don't have one yet, I was about to buy one.
(I held up my hand with $4.60 in it)
[she wrote down my name and address and told me I'm supposed to buy a ticket and I said I knew and apologized and she wanted a piece of evidence of my address and I didn't have one]
Officer: Now, you'll get a letter in the mail telling you whether or not you're fined and you'll have 28 days to respond to it.
Mary: How will they decide if I'm fined or not.
Officer: Based on your reason for not having a ticket. What's your reason?
Mary: Well I was getting ready to buy one, I had the coins in my hand when you guys got on.
Officer: I am a WOMAN I do NOT APPRECIATE BEING CALLED A MAN. THAT IS A SENSITIVE SUBJECT.
(I'm not surprised...she had a beard)
[The other officer was much more nice to Danny]
Officer: Well, unless you're standing in front of the machine we are to believe you weren't planning on buying one.
Mary: I had to get my coins out, I don't have the balance to get my coins out while the tram is moving.
Officer: You would be surprised there are old women who can do it what is wrong with you?
Mary: I don't know.
(I wanted to tell her how ugly she was and that she was rude and her scarf had food in it but you have to be polite in those kind of situations.)
I think it's crap that I got the mean officer. I think that the other one would have paid attention to the fact that I had the freaking coins in my hand and let me get my ticket. Now I don't know what will happen.
I always buy tram tickets. I won't not buy one when we are just going up the road to K-mart. I can't not buy one for a ride down to Deakin so I always just walk.
Of ALL THE PEOPLE I had to get in trouble.
It's crap.
Stupid study abroad...they probably saw me and said "She's study abroad, get her!"
Stupid ugly woman/man/bearded goat lady
