At the one where I live, there is often a creepy man that sits in exactly the same spot every time I see him. I say he's creepy because every time you look in his direction, it feels as if he was watching you. I don't legitimately think he's a stalker. I just think he's a creepy people watcher person. One time, I even ran into him at the mall, and he said hello. As if we were friends, because he sees me at B&N.
Well, he's not here today (thank goodness). But I am. And I just realized:
I'm a
I'm sitting here, trying to find out what the people around me are doing.
...I think one woman is here with her mother meeting a wedding planner. I would like to be a wedding planner... like J. Lo:
...The old man in front of me is sitting weirdly (don't ask - it's just weird) and reading a book called "Discovery, Innovation, and Risk," so I feel as if he'd be interesting.
...There are people at the front trying to introduce the nook, and nobody seems interested.
...And there are two other people in the cafe with a MacBook, and I feel as if we have secret Mac connection.
Is that creepy? Maybe. But I love people watching. It should be something I list in all of those "About Me" things as a habit. I just pray that I'm not nearly as creepy as that man...
Remember, tomorrow is Single Sentence Sunday. If you want to do it, let me know! I've been thinking about having you who do it link up, but I won't put a McLinky unless I know you will.
I love B&N. And I totally agree. There are always some...characters there. :)
ReplyDeletepeople watching is one of my faves! but you have to make sure to do it inconspiculously or you're right... totally creepy!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a shameless people watcher too. ;)
ReplyDeletetotally love people watching. i think the airport is the best place for it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a people watcher, too. But there are those people who make you feel as though they are thinking some very bad things as they watch. And I am so not one of those.
ReplyDeleteI love B&N!
ReplyDeletePeople watching is fun, but you have to be aware not to stare. Otherwise you come off as a creeper, or an FBI agent. haha. ;)
ReplyDelete-makay
Oh, I LOVE people watching. concenses. Not creepy, under normal circumstances!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I go to Borders once a week. I think I'd be lost if we didn't!! haha (:
ReplyDeleteI'm a people watcher big time. Especially sitting at the airport, or waiting in line at the DMV. Always a ton of interesting and very creepy people there.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I love hanging out at B&N and people watching is one of my favorite things to do, I wish I could be invisible though- it would be a lot less obvious! Also love that movie and I have a mac =)
ReplyDeleteI love people watching...especially at the mall or baseball games!
ReplyDeleteI tend to be a people watcher at the library on campus. It's actually really fun...in a creepy sort of way. ;)
ReplyDeletetotal people watcher here too. The funny thing is I CAN'T STAND when I feel like others are "staring" at me. haha. I think that's one of the reasons I love sunglasses...people can't tell if you're looking at them! :) I love to study and analyze people. I feel like it's an art or a gift. hehe.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try my best to be a part of this week's "single sentence sunday"...it's probably all I can muster up this weekend for the blog anyway. whew, we've been busy!
happy weekend!!
i am such a people watcher. i love airports for that reason! I was at a wedding tonight and did a lot of people watching rather than hitting the dance floor like usual! It's just so interesting the things people do : )
ReplyDeleteAnd as long as you don't say hi to one of those people somewhere else, i'd say you're golden!
I sit on our campus green every day with my son and watch all the other families there with children...essentially judging them.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite fun. = ) It makes my day.
Creepy, huh? Haha!
Don't feel too creepy. I enjoy sitting on a bench on campus and watching people buzz around. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am the same way - I love to people watch, especially in coffee shops. I like to make up the backstory, too:) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be a wedding planner. I think that would be so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love people watching. Sometimes it's what gives me the most inspiration for characters in stories.
