once upon a time a young woman took the bus home with her brother. she tried to talk to him, he was more interested in his blackberry. she then drew a picture of a pirate for their father's birthday. a speech bubble rose out of the pirate's mouth proclaiming "happy birthday dad! i hope your day is plunder-ful". the brother then gave up on his phone and signed loudly, signaling that he was bored. she offered use of her ipod and headphones, he said no, because if he used those headphones, he would look like he just got off the special bus. she then gave him the copy of rolling stone magazine, he became happily engrossed in an article about the cast of jersey shore. because he enjoys that show apparently. the young woman spent the rest of the ride thinking about the pirate picture.

the other brother drew a fantastic picture of himself fighting a zombie for their father's birthday. the young woman decided not to include the pirate picture, because it would look she belonged on the special bus along with her headphones. her father had been wishing for a motorcycle for a number of years, the young woman found a hot wheels version as it was in her current price range. she also decided on the seventh season of curb your enthusiasm.

the other brother (the youngest one) bears the unfortunate family pet name "big boy". this nickname originated when he was a toddler during the era of "now you have a big boy bed" or "big boy's wear pull ups instead of diapers". he is almost six feet tall, and has long spindly legs. he bears a strong resemblance to jesse eisenberg and or andy samberg. he is a talented young artist and has a wry sense of humour. the young woman liked a painting he is working on. she suggested that she buy him a copy of j.d. salinger's "nine stories" in exchange for said painting. he agreed, she felt lucky that she traded a paperback book for a fantastic work of art.

the young woman has a sister. the sister was wearing a beloved t-shirt that belongs to the young woman. a t-shirt the young woman has only worn once as it is brand new. these squabbles arise from time to time, usually not over clothing as sister is younger and thinner. the squabbles are mainly over

the "good" shampoo
special k cereal bars
length of time spent in the washroom

luckily none of these battles began this evening.

the young woman was up past her designated bed time. she had a long day of not going to work ahead of her. she has mapped out the following...

going to the city to see a movie, purchasing records, celebrating the birth of a friend, and then conking out in the hotel room.

the end.
