Philosophers on Trains: "Goddess"

Yet again, I have taken another amazing train ride near another "brilliant," and loud passenger. (Notice which adjective is housed in quotations).

This mademoiselle expressed her interest in such mind-blowing TV series' such as Entourage, and Dexter, and missing out on deep conversations with me about LOST. She then reminisced sourly on a time when her friend got mad at her for sitting upright (clearly her friend is not a flight attendant) and then hitting on her by calling her a "goddess," and a "delicate flower." Her friend is indeed dead wrong, because I'd like to think that the goddesses of Greek mythology know the difference between a house and a condo when they hit their early 20's.

Although she has collected minimal data on common knowledge, her and I do agree on one thing; and that is being surprised that she knows someone who has pierced her sternum. When her friend announced that, I was shocked to know that that was possible. As was she.

So cheers to you Long Island's Delicate Flower, may you know the difference between a house and condo before you put a down payment on a flat.
