most fail six hours of my life.

Obviously, I just wasn't supposed to leave my room today.
I was meant to meet up with Jess and Candy and go to Newtown today, but first I had to bath the dog - I don't know if you've seen my dog but it is huge and he has a major fear of running water. After that I got dropped to Ashfield station, bought a student ticket to Newtown and the train was coming in 8 minutes. I got on the train and after about four minutes the ticket collectors came. I gave them my ticket and the guard said, "This is a student ticket, do you have a concession card or ID" I calmly explained that I was sorry, but that I didn't have my wallet with me. The guards proceeded to hastle me telling me to, "Have a good look in my bag to see if there was some proof" that I was only 17. After about ten minutes of the collector having a go at me threatening to fine me, he asked me my date of birth and I gave it to him without a seconds delay. He finally seemed convinced and they left. It seemed all was good. Until I realised that in all this confusion the train had gone right past Newtown and I'd missed my stop. I got off at the next stop, Redfern and went to change platforms to get the train the opposite way to Newtown. Just as I got down the stairs to the platform the train closed its doors and drove away. I checked the times for the next train to Newtown but one wouldn't come for over an hour. I decided that I would just get on the train to central and then catch a bus. The only problem was that my train wouldn't be valid at central station so I would have to find some way to get passed the guards who were of course, everywhere. I attempted to walk through the wheelchair access gate but was stopped and told that I didn't have a valid ticket, the inspector said to go to platform 19 to get the train to Newtown. When I got to platform 19 there was no trains to Newtown at all and so I walked back out to the exit and simply forced open a ticket gate and legged it out of the station. Luckily, no one followed me. I walked down to where the 412 bus stops and the timetable said it would come in a few minutes. I was sure that I'd seen the 412 drive down King St passed Newtown station many times before, but of course when i asked for a ticket to Newtown the driver said that he didn't go near the station at all and that I'd have to walk up to Hay St to catch a different bus. Upon exiting the bus I realised that Hay St only had a tram line running on it, which had no stop anywhere near Newtown. By this point the shoes I was wearing had given my heel a blister that had started to bleed. I just decided that at this point I should just stop trying to get to Newtown and go home. So I walked to where the 413 stops that would take me closer to home and saw that there wasn't a bus for 40 minutes. I looked up to see that a bus to Fivedock had just stopped and decided that I would amuse myself there for a while, not wanting my parents to wonder why I had left and returned so soon. I texted Amelia and asked what she was doing and she told me to come over but only for a while because she had to go out. It was nice to see her for the hour and a bit that i was there. Only when I called my mother she said she would leave right away and come to get me. After about 20 minutes she still hadn't come so I rang her to see where she was, she hadn't left yet and said she was sorting the washing and would send Dad. So there I was being the most massive inconvenience to Amelia and her mother when they were supposed to be getting ready and going out, my parents just decided that they'd come in their own time. Of course if they'd said get the bus it would have been fine but you know. So that was completely embarrassing. Then when my dad finally did come he had a go at me because he'd been out the front for like ten minutes because he couldn't remember which house it was. As if its my fault he didn't bring his phone to ring me and tell me he was outside. Which just totally killed the happy mood Mia put me in.
So basically, I'm just going to hide in my room and never come out again.


Ps. I finished Season 3 of The L Word in two nights. Its so addictive and yet so sad. It makes me happy but then at the same time lonely. Meh. Its awesome. You people should watch it.
