Thursday Randoms
Re: Thursday Randoms
The girl next to me on the train this morning was reading Outlander.
You can already guess where this is going...
I told her it was a great book and she responded that it was her third time reading it. She then asked if I had read the rest of the series and I responded that I had all of them in hardcover and have read several times. I must have looked at her funny when she asked that or seemed too enthusiastic because the conversation ended shortly after. Oh well.
Which brings me to my next story...
@elistar @84lauren @jackiback There was a guy reading WMF on the train yesterday and I was so tempted to start a conversation with him. I got close then realized he smelled like he didn't shower that morning. So yeah...that didn't happen.

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

Riding the train does have its perks that I am not sitting in traffic and I can sleep/read but honestly, I'd rather have a job closer to home so I can sleep in my bed instead. Also, people annoy the crap out of me more and more. Talking loudly on your cell phone-dirty looks, snoring-oh hell no I just want to smack you, super loud music/movie-rude and getting off the train and texting/emailing, chances are I'm going to bump into you or say something as I speed walk past you. Also, the guy who usually sits next to me everyday is starting to get a little creepy when he mentions seeing me eat something while waiting in the station for the train; I've started sitting in a different train car.
Also, while I'm totally onboard for the changes, lately when I look at myself in the mirror without a shirt on (which is rare), my body is starting to look unrecognizable. It kind of weirds me out.

Yep! They're sooo good.
Seriously, I feel the same way. I love not having to drive but public transit just confirms my general dislike of most people. We have a girl who gets on every morning, who I think must have showered as she's always soaking wet, but who I assume hasn't washed anything she owns in the last six months. I'm nauseous at least a few times a week on the way to work. My absolute favorites though (sarcasm font!) are the wannabe rappers. Yo, you suck and I can't leave. Just stop already.
Also, it took me entirely too long to figure out what a TimBit was. And the only reason I figured it out is because of HIMYM, lol. I'd never even heard of it before that.

@JenE if a little enthusiasm scared her away, she is not the fan you thought she was. Oh well.
And I will be totally honest - the line of guys waiting to meet Patrick Rothfuss when I met him at the book fair made me have to remind myself that I am one of these people. Let's just say we're not the cool kids (But hey, at least I shower... most days) lol
