OK, so, it is a long story how and why I ended up at this BART station at midnight the other night. However, it is very well lit. So, even though I was pacing by myself with my pepper spray's trigger cocked, I was able to do so in a lot of light until my ride arrived. Surprisingly, there were also enough people roaming about that I probably would not have been attacked anyway. Nonetheless, I do not, in any way, endorse or condone females being by themselves at BART stations at night. However, of the Oakland BART stations, I felt a lot safer being alone here at night than I have at the Lake Merritt and MacArthur stations.

Maybe I'll come back during the day to try the food.

When my coworker dropped her phone on the tracks here, two guys on the platform offered to jump down and get it for her (in the rain) which we declined but appreciated. Then, we asked the ticket booth agent downstairs to help us out and within 5 minutes she was at the platform edge with a little grabber thingy on the end of a pole to reach the phone and we were on our way!! So helpful and quick!

i've been having a weird day. i spent about six hours doing absolutely nothing in the name of studying for a midterm. i ate a lot of bread. i downloaded seinfeld season 8. then in class, i just played around with the photo enlarger.

after that, i got on the wrong bart. my mind was so jumbled.

and i got off at fruitvale in order to wait fifteen minutes and then retrace my steps. while i waited, an older gentleman asked me if i could get him some mota. and then he asked me if i liked crystal. and then he told me i look buff, asked me how old i was (twice within seconds of each other) and guided me behind some cement to sneak a cigarette. at this point, he asked if he could see my stomach. my hands moved before my brain stopped them and the man started feeling my tummy. then he started fake punching me, gave me his address and asked if i ever wanted to visit him at his house. i took this as a cue to "go sit down".

i don't like fruitvale bart station.

You are no Glen Park BART station my dear Fruitvale, but you are pretty nice anyway.  I'm not going to lie, I do get a bit of a creepy vibe from you on the platform, maybe that's because it's outside, but, you sure are cleaning yourself up nice with that Fruitvale Village.  You have ample parking, and appear to have many bus lines that stop at you.
Good work Fruitvale BART station.

the ghetto will always be ghetto. sure, you've cleaned up yourself pretty nicely but just not good enough.  

my husband dropped me off at the fruitvale bart station this morning since we carpool now. i was easily offended by two brothas who cut in line in front of me to purchase a bart ticket when their machine broke down! well tough luck. wait your turn! wtf. f*cking rude! i was so annoyed. you can't cut in line infront of me like i owe you and we aren't "HOMIES" -- i was stared at and i was called a 'trick' - just because i said, 'you better get behind me - i've been waiting in line!' they took their sweetass time and so, i moved to another line to feed my old ticket. fackineh.

ugh. why do i have to deal with this crap so early in the morning?!
