The Adventures of Two Clueless College Girls

Happy Thanksgiving, guys!

I'm writing this from home (WOOT!) and the animals have clearly missed me, judging by the way they're following me around the house. Currently Dog is sprawled on the floor and Kitty is contemplating pouncing on the cursor running around my computer screen.

Anyway, Anne drove me to Cincinnati yesterday so I could catch the MegaBus home. Due to a crazy random happenstance, we ended up downtown an hour and a half before my bus was scheduled to be there. We could've gone to her house... but we would've had to leave as soon as we got there, so there was really no point.

So of course we wandered around downtown Cincinnati for a while, looking for food.

Me: What's good to eat around here?
Anne: I don't know.
Me: ...You live here.
Anne: Oh yeah...

Eventually we found Fountain Square and a Chipotle Mexican Grill. (om nom nom nom.) I love Mexican food. You have no idea. Well, I love spicy food in general - Thai, Italian, whatever - but Mexican definitely tops the list. We killed some time and ate some awesome burritos, and then it was time to catch the bus, but I had to go to the bathroom first.

Note: the MegaBus does have a bathroom, but... gross.

The Chipotle bathroom was locked (weird) but Anne was like, 'I'm pretty sure there are public bathrooms up in the plaza.' So we trekked on over (and just for the record, it was friggin FREEZING) and found the bathrooms... which were also locked. Apparently they're only open certain hours.

The rest of our search continued in the same fashion. CVS? No bathrooms. Walgreens? Nada. Zippo. Zilch. You'd think it'd be easy to find ONE BATHROOM in a city full of people. You'd be wrong.

So we gave up and headed back to Anne's car (a few blocks away) to grab my luggage. By this time it was getting pretty dark (and it was STILL friggin FREEZING) and we kept walking by creepy alleys.

Anne: This is kinda creepy.
Me: Yup.
Anne: Let's not get mugged, okay?
Me: No problem. I'm pretty much a badass.

(At least, I like to think so.)

Thankfully, we made it to her car without incident, and I caught the bus on time and used the gross MegaBus bathroom.

Hey, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do.
