In life one meets all sorts of festive people and as I waited to board my 7:30am train two ladies started quite the conversation. We'll call them Old lady (OL) and Grad School Lady (GSL). Now apparently GSL felt the need to retell her entire lifestory and current life situation. She missed her train yesterday, had to stay in hostel last night, and will be in the grad program at the UW for social work. All while repeating the phrase, "this was just going to be a day trip" at different points so that her audience knew that she wasn't prepared for a full night in Seattle. She also has a cat that isn't really hers, but her roomate's— she's in the process of adopting it (?)
There is also also a man that is probably Santa Claus, (I say probably because he is rather thin at the moment) , who keeps snoring then waking up. Next to him is lip ring girl who loves taking pictures of the scenery. And we must not forget the man who isn't aware of the "don't talk loud on your cell phone" dealio on Amtrak.
Needless to say, nothing like the train.
Stay tuned for more festivities.
Peace, love, and middle parts,
Liza
