Indiana Bukhari

When i say that i think my life is like the Truman Show, I don't say it without reason. I had the most UNUSUAL experience on Friday. I am always late to work on Fridays coming from my sister's apartment. The inbound C line is the most miserable experience in the morning, and if you try to stand at the front of the car, the conductor will ask you to get off so he has a better view in his mirrors. Well i made it to an earlier train on Friday, and the conductor just asked me to move in a little bit, but the guy who came in after me was asked to get off the train and HE FREAKED. Dropping the Fbomb left and right, saying that this is the third train he'll be missing etc etc... they ended up getting him off the train, and he was P.O.ed... So i'm pretty shocked and surprised... theres a guy at my work who always asks me "Whats the story Zahra?" and he always wants to hear a crazy story, and ofcourse in my head i'm thinking this story is golden.

Between the arlington and boylston stops the train jerks to a halt. I hear that there is an issue and we'll be standing...about fifteen minutes later there is news that there is a medical emergency up ahead and that we will need to wait on an ambulance to reach boylston... another 15 minutes later we find out that our front car will soon be evacuated.. as soon as that car was evacuated they started evacuating OUR car! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TUNNEL! we actually had to walk from the middle of the tunnel to the next train stop, and i always wonder when im on the train what it would be like to be out in the tunnel, and it was pretty eerie, it was dark, rocks on the ground, mice scurrying, skeletons lying around (haha, jk!) i so felt like nicole kidman from invasion walking through that train tunnel, or new age indian jones! but yeah so we get to the top of boylston and there are people in stretchers, turns out our train hit the train in front of us and a few people got whiplashed... and i was 45 min late for work! My manager liked the story though, he was insanely interested in the guy from the first part of the story though, which kind of bothered me... he said when i retell the story i should encorporate the first guy more, like maybe that he actually caused the accident (makes it almost seem like he thinks im lying... haha)

in more important news--i have found my new wedding dress, alma is trying to steal it from me, but there is NO way, this is mine mine mine....

Zahra!! This was the morning that I saw you at St. Mary's T Stop wasn't it? I guess we didn't end up getting on the same train (thank goodness on my part haha because I was already late for a group meeting/video shoot thing!) Anyway, can we randevĂș one day?
