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 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

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
