| This morning on the Metra train as I was commuting to work, I had the pleasure of sitting next to two 20 year-olds who apparently could not get enough of each other. It's one thing to be cuddling on the train (I can understand this, they do keep the trains at arctic temperatures in the summer), or to sleep on one another's shoulder. Heck, I'm not even bothered by a peck here and there if you're the real affectionate type. But please, keep the suckage volume down to a minimum. If you haven't noticed (and how could you, with all that saliva exchange going on), the entire traincar was throwing ugly looks your way. In other news, two more girls came in to work squealing about their engagement this past weekend. I am just thrilled for them!! It has occurred to me that both are younger than me. But it makes sense - each has been with their boyfriends for years and years! hm, this entry is open to misinterpretation, but oh well. Nobody reads Xanga nowadays anyway :) | | |
