dear internet diary,
tonight on the train ride home there was a girl huffing compressed air, that shit you use to clean your keyboards and what not. i saw her when i initially got on the train. sort of hipster-y looking: moccasin boots with fringe, wavy unkempt hair, sleepy eyes. well the sleepy eyes, i just thought she was tired because it was after 11 pm on a school night. but no! she was high and getting higher. at one point the person next to her got off and she suddenly and plaintively yells out, "sorry!" then she digs around in her bag and pulls out either an italian ice or tiny cup of ben & jerry's. she uses her teeth to open it and then eats the whole thing in less than a minute without the aid of any type of utensil other than her tongue and nose, which she remembered to wipe, thankfully. i did not expect such skills from a person who seemed pretty damn incoherent. as she's finishing up her treat she takes out a can of compressed air and takes a long drag off the nozzle. it was then i realized she was high, not drunk, and i laughed really hard thinking about that episode of intervention.
