Another procrastination device.

This blog is probably not a good idea for the following reasons:

1) I'm beginning to get a little concerned about the amount of personal information I have posted on social networking sites etc. This evokes very real concerns regarding an 'Enemy of the State' type situation one day arising where the government will gain access to all of my personal information and I will be unwilling and innocently embroiled in some kind of government conspiracy.

2) I should be using this precious free time to do something a little more productive. For example; homework, writing out my application for a graduate position with the government, socialising, showering, reading 'Breaking Dawn'.

3) I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons but for the moment that will do.

Now that's out the way, I'm going to discuss an issue that I get very fired up about....public transport etiquette. It seems as though few people have any clue about what is acceptable and not acceptable when travelling in a crowded public space. Therefore, I am going to write a "what's hot" and "what's not" list for the conscientious commuter...

"What's hot"

• Offering your seat to the elderly or disabled when sitting in a priority seat (or any seat for that matter) when there are no spare seats.
• Having the music on your ipod at a decent level so the people beside you are not forced to listen to a playlist of your favourite techno songs from the late 90's.
• Moving books, bags, your feet off seats to allow others to sit down too. Your book didn't pay for a seat, I did.

"What's not"

• Looking like an absolute station rat and swearing about how your "c*^t" of an ex-boyfriend "f*#^ed" your best friend. I don't care. Your friends you're complaining to probably don't care either because by the sound of things they're not a very moral bunch and whilst they are now "consoling" you they probably have/will soon sleep with your boyfriend. It comes with the territory of being a station rat I imagine.
• Wear deodorant because believe it or not your natuaral musk is not an aphrodisiac and you smell like an odd mix of wet dog and unwashed socks.
• When you chew your gum, as much as possible avoid making those yucky squelchy noises.

That's about it really. I don't ask too much do I?

This blog has probably come across as a little aggressive and harsh but I think it is best that I vent this repressed rage before I get violent. *Sigh* I feel better already.

I should go and do homework now. I don't even know whether anyone will read this but I don't really mind. Probably a good thing if people don't.

That is all.
Goodnight
