Unicorn man is back!

Every Humber girl watches out for the Humber Fire students. We all do it silently, but they know. I swear those program shirts they wear are like magnets for every student with a couple of X-chromosomes.
It's no surprise that when I realized a Humber Fire guy was on the bus today, I didn't look in many other places. *sigh*
Not my fault; it's an instinct.
While I was enjoying the lovely view, the bus pulled up to fire boy's stop. Boo.
I pouted for a bit until I realized that unicorn tattoo man came on at the same stop! He was wearing the same motorcycle shirt and a cap with flames. I hadn't noticed it before, but he may have had a mullet. The hat threw me off, but it's probable. He also had Hell's Angels-esque beard. This man just keeps getting better.


Not only did I see a future fireman and unicorn tattoo man, I also had some celebrity sightings. Well, not really, but these girls sure looked like celebrities. In the morning, I spotted a girl who looked like Saoirse Ronan (that is a seriously hard name to spell) and a Hayley Williams lookalike going home. I wanted to ask for autographs until I realized I had to stop myself from looking like a psycho freak. I settled for staring and squinting like I was part of an old couple sightseeing in L.A.

This week on public transit...

Well, would you look at that. I haven't posted in a good while. Surprise, surprise.

Because I'm so busy/unmotivated to do anything I don't have to right now, I figured I'd combine a week's worth of crazy bus stories into one post. Surprisingly (or not?), there were plenty.

I got on the bus to go home after class and dug around for my iPod right away. I was done with people for the day and wanted to hide in my own little plugged in world for the one and a half to two hour ride. While I was looking down at my purse, a person sat in the seat directly in front of me. They had broad shoulders, a plain, white shirt and short hair. From behind, this person was androgynous, to say the least. Looking at the hair, I decided this person was a male. I started wondering if this guy was attractive (don't hate... I'm single; I can't help it). I decided to look a bit closer. There wasn't any hair/stubble on the section of the jaw I could see.. Many guys can't grow a beard. Suddenly, there was a noise near the back of the bus. The person turns around and, of course, it's a pretty girl. I swear I'm straight.

When I was nearing my bus stop, a man got up to get off a stop or so before mine. He was in his forties or fifties and was going for the tough biker look. You know the one - all black, denim and tees, tattoos, facial hair. His shirt had motorcycles on it and said "Hard and loud. It's a guy thing," for goodness sake. Thing is, if you're going to go for it, go for it. This man got up, using the overhead, horizontal pole to assist him. To my surprise, on his right arm is a tattoo of a unicorn... Let me repeat that: A majestic, in-every-little-girl's-dreams, mystical, fairytale UNICORN.

While waiting for the bus, one young man took out a guitar and started playing and singing out loud. Congrats on being able to play and I'm glad you're having fun singing your little heart out, but I'm not really interested in listening.. Thanks. He wasn't even busking! There was no money, just noise disturbance.

After getting on the bus to go to school, I looked out the window. Standing there was a young man (in his late teens or early twenties, I'd say) with a girl of similar age. Both looked completely normal except for one thing: the guy was holding a big, ratty-looking stuffed animal beaver.. As far as I remember, that was all he had with him. I thought this was just strange and mentioned it to a friend. She told me I had been looking at Mel Gibson.
