Ok. That's it. I've finially reached the end of the rope. I am, in fact, headed straight to Hell on the express elevator.
So I'm coming back from seeing The Incredibles with munch (awesome film, how Disney think they can survive without Pixar I'll never know) and sitting on the bust. This guy sits next to me when there's a bunch of empty seats at the back of the bus he could sit in, and what's more, he's pushing up against me, taking up way more space than he needs. So in my passive-aggressive way, I decide to get my own back by turning up Rammstein on my mp3 player to ear-bleeding volumes (please note, this is the very definition of a Phyrric victory. Especially when you have an ear infection) in order to annoy him. Eventually it works, and I just about hear him saying soemthing over the headphones. I pointedly ignore him and eventually he taps me on the shoulder. I turn to him, take out the earphones and say "Sorry, you have to look at me when you're speaking to me, I'm nearly deaf." I'm sure to fumble my words a bit like the deaf kid I used to know in high school did, but not too much or he'll twig.
"You speak very well for a deaf person" He replied. Shit, my cover might be blown, so I replied "Yeah, I had an accident when I was younger."
"Oh, well do you think you could turn it down a tad?"
I try to look downcast "Oh... if I turn it down then I can't hear it anymore"
"Oh... never mind..." And he turns away and gets off at the next stop. Ah-HA! I win!
In other news, the meet on saturday was fandabbydozy and suchlike. Was good to meet all manner of people I rarely get a chance to chat to and shoot the breeze. I only wish I'd not had a last-minute attack of the crazies and wimped out of going to the club. I also have an ear infection that is currently threatening to rupture my eardrum again. I wasn't too happy about this happening the first time, so I'm trying to cure it by force of will alone.
P.S. I've been rubbish at commenting recently. Will try to make amends tomorrow.

Are you out for the 17th Dec thing? Gonna get the train back at 5am (and then do some very early Chrimbo shopping back home). Any ideas what a boy can do in the wee hours on a Saturday morn? I hear mention of a club?
you know you ever though of a book on how to put peaplo in there place creamy style?
