People Watching

Tweet

When I was in college, my boyfriend and I would sit on one of the benches that lined the side of the building and just watch our fellow students pass by. We'd point out interesting things to each other, like how this girl's arm is so casually draped over this guy's shoulder, not knowing that the guy is uncomfortable with their positions. She doesn't know it but we do, because we see the expression on the guy's face. Sometimes we'd watch a couple fight, and we'd dub their exchange with the silliest things. It was then that I realized that I love to watch people do regular things, and notice the particular way in which they do it. I've added this interest to my lot because I look forward to interacting with people who have this particular interest as well. I'd love to know what you think--about the act itself, and what you think about--when people watching.
