now listening: Gave Up On Us - NINA - Synthian
All right, I don't have anywhere else to really write this down so here goes. I've had the NINA album Synthian stuck in my brain lately.
I was driving into the City to meet some friends, which requires crossing the Bay Bridge. The thing about the Bay Area is people are shit drivers, so the bridge is all but guaranteed to be a shit show. Might as well just accept it. It also helps that I love just sitting in my car anyways, so I had my windows down, sun roof open, and Synthian blaring.
Everyone around me had their windows up and generally looks of frustration. Everyone kept trying to change lanes here and there, I saw some near rear-ends, etc. I was just having a good time listening to music and figured I'd get to the City when I got to the City.
Well, I make my way over the #3 lane (that's second from the right) when I see a Pontiac Firebird, windows down, the driver jamming out, and lo and behold she's a cutie. She hears me coming up and gives me a big grin. We kept passing each other as tends to happen in stop and go traffic, trading looks. Right before we split up on the 9th street exit, she passed me and look back over her shoulder as she passed me in the other lane. It's been a while since anyone's flirted with me or I've had someone to flirt with, so it felt good. It's also the first time I've gotten attention from a cutie for my car, so there's that.
I dunno, I just wanted to remember this for the days where the lonely really starts to kick in.
