Were You On My Train Ride?

How often do you observe people on the train? When an eye candy walks in, do you perk up? Ok maybe not during peak periods when all you can see is another person's nape or someone's earlobe.

But when you're out and the cabin's relatively empty, who do you notice?

I was on the train one day when this really pretty girl walked in. Her skin was a healthy orange and her dark hair was complemented with soft curls. Her almond eyes were made up with eyeliner and lush lashes, almost pin up. She had a nose as cute as a button and boasted small, pouty lips. Her clothes were casual chic - a white tank top and pink shorts that accentuated her tush.

I might have just described an imaginary girl but no, that was how she looked. I noticed her because she's everything I'm not. I admired how confidently she carried herself as she strolled into the cabin and sat next to me.

That's the problem - she sat next to me. How am I supposed to continue ogling when a babe positions herself at a un-oglable angle?!

This would have been the situation if she had set within my line of vision:

But nooooo, it went down like this:

Mehhh.

Anyway, do you know what I really miss seeing in trains? A person reading an actual book. E-books do not count. Eye candy is doubly sweet when a guy has something thick in his hands – more specifically, a novel.

He's not watching a movie, he's not stuck on unlocking achievements and neither is he bent on moving on to the next level. Dude's a cracking bookworm and that's something refreshing.

So yeah, these are the two kinds of people I notice on my train rides – the unconventionally attractive girls and cute boys with books. What about you?
