Thanks, and a funny story for today...

Thanks all for your help yesterday. The verdict is that Everado is a man and the resume we sent.

Now, on to the funny story for today...I was coming back from my voice lesson this morning, riding the metro, and started to notice a woman sitting across from where I was standing. She was having a very animated conversation, talking non-stop with her mother and another woman named Angela. This lady went on and on, talking her head off for most of the 15-20 minutes I was on the train. She was speaking in Italian so I didn't understand most of what she was saying, but whatever it was, she was very adamant and really made sure to get all of her points. Normally this situation wouldn't strike me as odd at all...except that this woman's mother and Angela weren't there. Yup, that's right. The woman was talking to her hallucinations. Fun!

What could make this scenario even more comical, you ask? There was another lady sitting across from psycho lady, who initially thought psycho was talking to her. She seemed to be trying very hard to listen at first, until, after the first few minutes of this, she realized that psycho really was talking to imaginary friends. After that the other woman just started making funny looks, indicating that she was a little scared.

But, there's more! Thankfully, psycho was not on the train by herself. There was a man sitting next to her, who I assume was in charge of her because if he wasn't he would've gotten up and moved away. This man sat there very quietly and patiently and looked like a very nice guy. His only apparent issue...his nose hair was so long you could've braided it. I have never actually seen noise hair that long on a person.

Anyway, just thought you might all enjoy that!

I can't believe that in a short while we aren't going to have these crazy stories because you're coming back to the U.S.! What a riot!

that is out of control. Fortunately chicago is big enough to have plenty of crazies to talk about too!

I'm sure you encountered plenty of people like that while riding the Metro in DC. That's always a good time!

Heck, ride the bus around Cinci enough times and you'll see these people here too. Ran into one about 3 weeks ago downtown for some work. Not riding the bus mind you, but sitting on a bench on 4th street talking to his imaginary friends, even stopping passers by to try to get them to convince his "friends" that he was right!

This is why you need a camera phone. You could have discreetly snapped a shot of the nose hair we could all acutally SEE it!

Yes, of course there will be crazies all over the place, but I honestly think it's just worse here. Life is so nuts in general...
