That’s it 
Here is my Friday Firsts: The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl by Barry Lyga (ISBN: 978-0-618-91652-8) 311 pages.
I want to NOT ride the bus to school every day, but that would be a waste of a really big want – it’ll take care of itself eventually.
Who wants to ride the bus? I certainly hated it and was glad I used to live in walking distance to my high school! As for this sentance, I would love to know what this person’s reasoning behind not wanting to ride the bus. Just WHAT is their issue?
Synopsis: (Taken from Amazon.com)
Fanboy, though, has a secret: a graphic novel he’s been working on without telling anyone, a graphic novel that he is convinced will lead to publication, fame, and—most important of all—a way out of the crappy little town he lives in and all the people that make it hell for him.
When Fanboy meets Kyra, a.k.a. Goth Girl, he finds an outrageous, cynical girl who shares his love of comics as well as his hatred for jocks and bullies. Fanboy can’t resist someone who actually seems to understand him, and soon he finds himself willing to heed her advice—to ignore or crush anyone who stands in his way.

I totally hated riding the bus. In junior high, I’d walk the two miles or three miles home from school after finishing my homework in the hallway (unless it was snowing).

I hated the bus! I was very thankful when a family member’s schedule changed so that I was picked up every afternoon. I have vowed to do everything humanly possible to make sure my kiddo doesn’t have to ride the bus…
