Just heard on the Queen streetcar a few minutes ago. One side of a phone conversation: "Hey, was I mean to John yesterday? I feel like I may have been a little mean... I know but about what? Oh, the jew thing? Well, tell him I'm sorry... Oh, hi John... I just wanted to apologize for being mean to you just because you hate jews... A lot of people do and it's ok. I'm sorry" He said this as he was getting off the streetcar and my jaw dropped. |

Strange taste
Overheard at the picnic tables at Centreville on Centre Island: One mom to another: "Oh, Bryan Adams! Rock on!" (it was being blasted a short way away) Same mom a few minutes later: "Oh we stopped at McDonald's on the way here. Much healthier." (She seemed quite serious, was comparing it to pizza and other Centreville food.) |

jordin sparks is for white girls.
i took my little cousin to see the jonas brothers on sunday and jordin sparks opened. i was on the bus on the way home and someone who had obviously also just left the concert was having a conversation about jordin sparks over the phone. so i only heard her side of the conversation. "oh. jordin sparks was singing but i didn't know it was her. i didn't even know it was her until the end and she sang that 'no air' song. she's so different now, eh! honestly, i didn't know until i asked some white girl that was singing along. remember she used to be more urban?! she had the song with chris brown and she was urban but now she's so different. now she sings songs for white girls. i don't like it!" |

It is burned in my mind's eye...
Overheard while my bf and I were turning a corner to walk up stairs at Main Station: "Sorry guys! Sorry guys!" Yes, that's not interesting... but the person saying it was a woman standing with her pants around her ankles, creating an impressive urine fountain down the stairs. Current Mood:  scared |

English people
Girl 1: "He bought an old house, like 100 yrs old or so, cause you know how English people like old things." Girl 2: "No, not necessarily. That's racist!" Girl 1: "Yeah they do! You know, like the Antiques Roadshow." (that is when I had to stifle a laugh cause my husband is English and loves that show.) |

on king streetcar
Two old women start talking - one outgoing, one shy - the shy one mentions she is from poland, is taking italian lessons and eventually says she was in Aushwitz then gets off at her stop. The outgoing one then proceeds to start crying and telling everyone how amazing the other woman was: outgoing woman: (while bawling) oh my, that old bird was so so sweet. she's gone through so much and is still smiling and learning and was so nice other passengers: nod in agreement and sniffle a bit outgoing woman: Oh no, I can't stop crying and I have to audition as a bubbly grandma in 5 minutes!! |

I did a lot of walking yesterday and since I forgot to charge ny ipod, I heard a lot of conversations. Highlights! Walking on Queen West just west of Bathurst. Girl: do you know where babies come from? Like where they come out of? Do you ever think about that? Guy: all the time! Girl: people forget I stopped for a slice at gino's pizza at college and ossington. So did a skateboarder. A few minutes later a few of his friends walked by Friend 1: hey. Stopping for some emergency pizza, eh? Skater: yeah... Got a little too buzzed Friend 2: that's cute you got buzzed off 1 beer Friend 1: what's on your pizza? Is that mustard? Wow, you must be drunk! What are you reading? Skater: uh... The chinese newspaper. Friend 1: do you understand it or are you just looking at the pictures? Skater: people watching Friend 1: yeah, I guess it's a little more dignified if it looks like you're reading something After that I made my way to the mod club. Just outside of blockbuster there was a (fully clothed) girl on her cellphone who informed her friend of the nature of her outfit "I can't. I'm not wearing anything even remotely slutty!" Who needs an ipod when the people of toronto are talking to each other? Good times. |
