traveling travesties...

Here are things heard/seen en route to class or work:

1. Who the F*** names their kid Gage? Really? Really? Why don't you just pin a sign on him that says "please beat me up, my parents are wankers!" oh wait...do you like the name Gage?


ahem...sorry got sucked into tagging the pics of New Years and my trip to MN...

2. Sat with a group of 5th-ish graders who were on their way to the Natural History museum...one proudly announced "when I grow up, I don't wanna work." wow. who knew that was an option?!?!?!?

3. So there's this guy on the subway who's talking--looking at the window across from his seat--i thought checking his hair and talking on his bluetooth...but no...turns out he was talking to his reflection in the window--telling it (you'll love this) "i know it was you that got me fired. don't think i don't know. you just need to get me my shit and get me back in or i'll go over your head with the boss down the street." he was gesturing and everything. needless to say, the girl sitting across from him, got up and switched seats--in another car...

4. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEuwwwwwwwwwwwww...this car smells like dead, rotting flesh. no seriously, i'm checking for body parts. EVERYONE got off at the next stop and switched to a different car. it was absolutely disgusting. how no one puked is beyond me. once safely in fresh air, we all just laughed.

5. Saw your doppleganger. CRAZY--red hair and all....she even had your mannerisms. you were 'bout to be in trouble for coming into town without telling me...although the boy you were with was kinda cute...

6. So I'm on the subway going from school to temp job when this punk ass kid across from me throws his GUM on the floor in front of the door. wanker! i'm about to say something when I decided no, I'd just warn the next person that walked through the door to watch out that kid threw his gum on the floor. Alas, no one came through the door...I noticed that punk ass kid is finishing the candy that caused the gum to be spit out in the first place and he's in the process of crumpling up the box (no doubt about to throw it on the floor), so I didn't say a word, shook my head (in a unFUCKingbelievable way) got up, picked up the gum with a napkin and sat back down. Still didn't say a word....but noticed that punk ass kid put his empty candy box in his pocket and I'd like to think that he threw it in the trash...i know, realistically it ended up on the ground somewhere else...but a girl can dream...a girl can dream...

7. Waiting for the ferry, standing in line in front of this mom and her daughter. Mom is laughing, daughter (about 6 or 7) says "Don't laugh at me." Mom says, "I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing because it was funny." To which the daughter replied "uh, no it wasn't!" doh!

8. For some reason, I can't stop thinking about bowling!
