Strangers, waiting, up and down the boulevard, their shadows searching in the night

So recently I started listening to my ipod on the trains, its funny because before I would see some people bobbing there head, mouthing an occasionally verse, tapping their feet, etc. and I would think, what a weirdie. But I can't lie when a good song comes on sometimes I can't help but do the same exact thing, most of the time I try to just keep it to a smile, but then other people on the train think I'm smiling at them so they keep looking at me and trying to make eye contact and if they get eye contact they usually just look at me like I'm crazy, so I've learned I'm better off doing a little dance. what can I say I love music! I've also noticed how much faster I walk since I've been here, everyone is in a hurry to get wherever it is they're going, and they seem to not notice when they run you over, so you learn to walk fast enough. Also my favorite time is about 5 or 6 trying to get out of the subways, everyone trys to cram up one small tiny staircase and people keep trying to walk right into your back, even though its clear that no one in front of you is moving. I always wonder what the hold up is, if everyone just kept walking then there wouldn't be a problem, but alas there always is a hold up..... so lets see what else, I love grocery shopping here, the stores are fun to me, I love grocery shopping period, I can thank my mother for that, always bringing me with her, I really do love it! I also love honey bunches of oats, and decided that I should just live off of that for the rest of..... my life possibly. mmmmm. So I ordered a mattress awhile ago but there was drama with the shipping and delivery part so it was sent to Arkansas?......... yeah I don't know. So I was going to order another one, but then I noticed that my ceiling was leaking on me, and that is not fun, so now my ceiling is all ripped up and they are fixing the pipes, and after that's all finished I'll get my bed, until then the floor is treating me quite nicely. Jessica had her baby!! Yay!! That means in the past 4 weeks we've gained three new babies! Babies are cute! I saw one on the subway today, she made me smile. It was a great temperature today, I fell asleep outside between my classes today, I have a sweet three hour break, so fun, I tend to sleep for at least an hour of that time, its the other two hours that are boring, because sleeping is never boring, in fact I'm going to sleep right now.
