Close Encounters of the Real People kind: Strange Train Encounters

So I've been commuting to school 3 days a week, as I have previously mentioned and yesterday was a particularly strange day to say the least.

First off on my way to the train station I heard this conversation. This definitely really happened, I don't know the exact context of the conversation, it may have been a joke, but this is what went down.

Woman: Excuse me do you work on this train?

Man: No

Woman: Do you know if this train is going south or not

Man: I'm not sure, where are you going.

Woman: I don't know!

Man: You don't know?!

Woman: It's none of your business! Go Away!

And I was like Woahhhhhhhhh! Did that shit really just happened. And yes, it did happen. Just like that too! It was so weird. First off: It's pretty easy to tell who works on the train and who doesn't. Usually the person working on the train has a conductors hat and a bunch of ticket taking tools. Second she was the one asking him for directions, she shouldn't be the one telling him to mind his business! Plus she knew she was going south but she didn't know where she was going? This may have been a tactic to not tell the man where she was going.... but still. And also I love that she said "Go Away." Where the hell is he going to go to? It's a train there aren't that many places he could go away too.

Also the train was going north, not south, and I'm pretty sure it said that on the outside. I can understand her being nervous, it was on the 11th, and everyone on the train seemed extra cautious and reflective of the terrible events that happened 13 years ago. The only reason I noticed was because I was trying to be very alert.

Anyway that whole exchange made me laugh. And then on the ride home I feel like I had some funny experiences also.

First off I've noticed this guy that always watches Chopped or Top Chef or something like that on his ipad. I'm pretty sure its chopped, not 100% certain though. But that made me wonder how many episodes of Chopped does he have on his itunes? Are these just all the old episodes or does he have new one. Does this air every Tuesday and Thursday, as those are the times I've seen him watching it. Does he watch the same episode or are there different ones? Then I noticed that the wallpaper on his phone was what looked like a skeleton with some kind of big hat. It looked almost like a pope's hat... but I don't think that was it... That seems weird for a business man that watches cooking shows on his ipad at least twice a week and may watch the same episode multiple times. It looked like a rockstar logo or something, it could have been cover art from some band... but this guy didn't look like someone that would like some sort of crazy thing with a skull on it enough to have it as the wallpaper on his phone. It's really weird.

There was also a point on the train where I could smell either skunk spray or weed... couldn't tell which. I don't smoke weed, I only know the smell from concerts I've been to and I feel like it smells like a skunk but slightly sweeter also mixed with pee (this is why I don't smoke it lol). And it happened right when one guy got up to leave the train. Again he looked like a regular guy that was at work. I couldn't tell if it was a skunk that sprayed the train or if the guy just smoked that much weed that I could still smell it on him. It seemed as though in the situation it was drugs, but it smelled more like skunk. I have no idea.

Anyway that was everything that I have encountered recently. I'm sure this isn't the last train story that there will be.

Also I didn't post yesterday. I posted late on my beauty blog, but I didn't feel like doing a Throwback Thursday. It just didn't feel right of me. I have more Throwback Thursdays coming up. But yeah this is it for right now.

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
