Thanks for the responses. So, greyhound and paypal?
One thing: I took the greyhound to Chicago this past fall and the creepiest incident happened. Some middle-aged guy sat next to me, I fell asleep, and when i woke up he tapped me and whispered "i had to sit next to you. you were like a flash of light...i was so attracted to you."
When I said, "um..well....thanks?" he began petting me and I politely said, "You need to...not do that." and he apologized. needless to say, the rest of the ride shot my nerves with the discomfort and awkwardness.
For some reason, I trust car pool more because I used to travel between college and home using a car pool system within the college. (until i transferred to a school closer to home) I never had problems with car pool.
I want to go to webcomics weekend terribly though...so I'm pretty willing to attempt greyhound again.
