I live in downtown Seattle, and this is what happened to me today.

I had just gone grocery shopping and I had just got on the bus and this lady who was obviously intoxicated on something, she might have been drunk but by the looks of her she was on some pretty hard drugs, and she came on and was yelling at the top of her lungs for the bus driver to turn on the AC (of course there is no ac on these old buses we just gotta open the windows and tough through the heat) and she got up and went to the bus driver and again screamed at him to turn on the ac, and he told her that she needed to get off at the next stop. Then she turned around and asked me if I could move my stuff so she could sit down cause I had a grocery bag on the seat next to me. By this time I didn't feel very comfortable with this woman, and I certainly didn't want her sitting next to me, so I just ignored her and pretended I didn't hear. Then she asked again louder and attempted to grab my stuff so i grabbed it back and told her NOT to touch my stuff. Then she started getting violent and called me a fat fuck, and I didn't very much appreciate that type of a comment. I got up out of my seat and moved ALL my heavy groceries and was trying my best to avoid this woman. She didn't look like she was all there in the heat, and acted like she wanted to hit me. Then the bus driver threatened to call 911 and told her to get off the bus. I didn't get off at my stop cause that was the stop that she was being forced to get off at and I did NOT want to get off at the same stop as her. So I got off at the next stop and ended up having to walk around 4 blocks more than I usually do in the heat just to get home.

Needless to say, I really don't like living downtown in the inner city.

I guess if people like me writing journals I'll let them know what is going on in my life. Let me know if it is an interest.
