So i've come to realize that my favorite pastime is people watching. earlier today david and i were in the car and this girl on her bike comes weaving towards us. she is obviously in her own little world and adjusting her ear buds-suddenly she started mouthing the words and dancing-must have been the chorus to her favorite song because as she closed her eyes to belt that high note she almost crashed into us...and yes, we were still in the car.
since then i've been noticing people much more today-especially the way they walk. you have those guys who saunter around with their chests puffed up and and slightly waddling because well you know, their muscles are just too big for them to walk normal.
you have the girls who are wanting to impress some guy by wearing high heels, but because they have weak ankles can't walk straight or steady so they stumble and are constantly holding onto something or 'taking a break' to check their phone to stabilize themselves.( for instance the girl who just walked by in a pair of 4 inch platinum silver pumps in a flowy black and purple dress. hunched forward because she's trying to balance her backpack and then also staggering along like a broken robot because she's already got blisters from wearing them this morning)
then there are the guys who are too cool for school-they slouch and have this scowl on their faces-but accessorize with their big sunglasses, skinny jeans, wide rim baseball cap and flip flops or toms-just so they can make a statement. these gentlemen then join the girls who feel that they need to express their feelings by starving themselves and wearing too much makeup-they add weight to themselves by adding layers of clothes and call themselves an art major. dont' worry, that makes everything ok then.
there are those students who have a bounce in their step and just look happy to be around, you enjoy seeing them at school and then you see the posers who try too hard and leap around and you instantly want to punch them in the face for acting stupid and giving the campus a bad name.
you have those students who walk with a purpose-they are my favorite. they have their heads down and arms moving from side to side for some extra propellege-their backpacks are tight to their back and about 2 1/2 ft off their back, giving them a nice hunch look as they speed through a crowd of people.
well i'm done now.
em and go to class.
