so riding on the train these past few months you start seeing the same people waiting at the same car stop as you and you also see new faces that you wish you didn't HEAR them speak at all! it's funny bc i'll point someone out to boyfriend in the morning or i'll repeat what i heard them say on the train ride and he'll be like, you're listening to their conversations? ha, noooooooo! they interrupted my sleep dangit! and that's the first thing i heard when i woke up/was trying to fall asleep!!! grr..hahah..so here are our regular riders:

1) the hooded man. he wears the same blue hoodie every morning and is always the first in line at our car stop. so lucky him usually ends up snagging the last good seat.

2) the weasel. lookswise he reminds me of a straight version of "javier" from the tv show felicity. he always gets to the train stop right before the train comes and tries to weasel his way in line to get ahead of all of us who have been waiting nicely in line. normally i wouldn't care about ppl like him, but man when you've got the hooded man taking the last good seat you've got to fight with the rest of the ppls to at least get a decent seat. so lately i've been finding myself cutting off the weasel right when we enter the car together so that i can get ahead of him=).

3) the asian chick. yeah, this girl has mucho staring problems. this tiny little asian woman who's always dressed pretty sharp in the mornings always seems to feel the need to give me the up and down- once over every time we approach the stop. it's funny bc sometimes she'll think she's being slick by doing a 180 turn and facing the railing but i can see out of the corner of my eye that she's staring at me. so after a while i get fed up with it and when i see her trying to be nonchalant and start glancing at me i'll stare back at her right in the eyes and she quickly turns away. sheesh lady, act your age..she's like in her mid-30's too! dude i'm not saying that 30's is old or anything cuz i'm gonna get there too..but you'd think after a certain age you'd stop staring at other ppl..ha, and so obviously too!

4) the loud guy. he is the random guy i'll find on the train who seems to want the whole train car to hear his conversation. albeit on the cell phone, with a friend on the train or even some stranger he becomes buddy buddy with. sorry, it usually ends up being some dude who's loud..the ladies are usually quiet. so funny lines that i've heard from the guys:

"i don't give a fandango if people are listening to what we're saying" - ha fandango? isn't that a movie phone line? hehe i like that..fandango.

"i live in hollywood hills, it's not like i'm going to be riding on this train ever again. okay well sometimes i will." (random dude bragging about how rich he is)

*guy on cell phone, while i'm trying to sleep* "dude she's freaking me out. she always wants to spend time together. i don't know if i'm ready for that kind of relationship." haha me thinking this must be some young guy still wanting to soak his oats. cuz if you're in a relationship, don't you WANT to spend time with your significant other? so i wake up, hehe and to my surprise it's this middle age not so good looking guy..okay i'm mean..but man, if you heard the stuff he was saying about his supposed girlfriend!

yeah..there's way more..but i'll save that for those days where i need a laugh again. hehe. ahhhhh i'm so glad it's friday. i'm so nervous for sunday! i'm going to bring my santa hat just in case=).

so we found this yummy revolving sushi in tustin...m-th only $1.99/plate..mmmm yum! if you guys crave some simple sushi and wanna hang out..call me up yo! also discovered how much i love taco tuesdays at fresca's. they have freaking bomb ass chicken tacos!

so it's been one week since i said adios to 24 hour and aloha l.a. fitness. man, is the boyfriend working me out!!!!! i swear in the last week i've done squats at least 3 times this week. and he makes me do deadlifts! and these upright row things but i'm squatting. grrrr...well it does feel nice after a good workout. yeah yeah i complain, but i really like having these workout sessions. man it's like my own little bootcamp. everyday a new muscle is sore and boyfriend seems to be happy with that.

and yes, sad to say..after like finishing 2/3's of the marathon training, we decided to not run this year. i really am sad about it though. i was hoping to do 5 in 5 years. well last year i had to opt out bc of medical injuries and could only do a half marathon. this year, seems to be the same reason. my knees just aren't made for 26.2 miles straight=(. i know mentally i'm prepared and as much as an "in the moment" person i tend to be...i really needed to see the post marathon physical affects this would have on me. my knees would never forgive me. just after doing the last long run they were already hurting like crazy and every night i had to elevate my knees bc they were just so uncomfortable. i couldn't sleep because i felt so restless just being in a regular sleeping position. that can't be good right? not to mention the fact that the knees have started to crack like crazy again..yuuuuuck! so, looks like halfs for me and i'll try to get into duathlons. need something to keep me active=).

sometimes i wonder if people actually realize what they're saying. like they think they're making an innocent comment, but really it's actually insulting and just pretty much rude. i'm sure i've said things that have slipped out of my mouth and right after i say it i'm like oops...okay well i've done that A LOT..uhhh stupid team america=P. back to my point. are people so callous that they really don't see the negativity of their comment? who knows i guess.

i can't get that j-live song out of my head. hehe lou makes fun because i say..nee-na-nee. neener-neener-neener-na-na-nee-ner-nee..when i think it's like..dee-da-dee..dee-da-dee-da. yada yada..but yah..it's soooooooo funny.

anyways..i'll leave with this randomness...this is what we do when we're bored at work...hahah okay not all the time..just like once a year. and i'll finally post one:
