I'm in withdrawal.

Well, it's Monday, and I didn't get my daily dose of the crossword in the 24.
Whenever I'm on the bus going to school (or anywhere else), I MUST have a 24 so I can do the crossword.

Usually I have my headphones on and my nose stuck in the paper, without noticing anybody walk by or say hi to me.

There was one time when a friend walked by and tried to get my attention.
When I didn't look up, they actually came over and tapped me on the shoulder. "Yvonne!"
I look up. "Oh...! Hi." *looks down again at crossword*
Friend: "Doing the crossword I see!"
I look up again, thinking *Damnit, I just want to finish this. Stop talking to me!* "Yep".
Friend: continues one-sided conversation

Now that it's finals, I'm in withdrawal.
I guess I COULD print it out off the 24 website, but who does that?

I know, it's weird. But some people are freaky about sudoku's.
Well, for me, I like a good word puzzle, haha.
I know shmooey can understand.

Do you have weird habits on the bus?

    No, but once there was a few of us working on a crossword on the skytrain (from one of those free papers), and we were working out loud, and then random strangers started blurting out answers (somewhat quietly).

    (this was a friday night, so everyone else had probably already done the crossword on there morning commutes...)

    You do realize that, for a very paltry sum of money, you can buy a book that's just chuck full o' crosswords, right? Then you wouldn't have to wait.

    I LOVE the crosswords in 24! But I am totally hooked on reading my horoscope in 24 and Facebook. I must read them every day and I must say, they are completely accurate for me. Or I try and apply the horoscope to my day :P

    I don't take any means of transportation to school... except via my two legs which I use to walk.

    Actually, there was about a week or so a couple years back in high school during exam season where I print'em off. :embarassed:

    But damn, I haven't finished one of those by myself in so long =(. Came somewhat close today (damn names).

    P.S. horoscopes suck.

    My weird habit is that I always sit on the same seat on the bus.

    I sit beside DaNoobie, so he touches me. I keep riding the 145 up and down the mountain till he finds me.
