People Watching

I think one of my most predominate habits has to be people watching. Regardless of where I am, or who I'm with, I always watch or observe other people. For example, if I go to the mall I can carry on a normal conversation with whom ever I'm with but chances are I'm not looking at the person I'm talking to I'm more likely looking at everyone within a couple yards of me wondering what that person is there for or what's in their bag or why the hell they're wearing they're pajamas out in public--honestly you have the time to put on sneakers you can put some god damn pants on. Even right now I'm sitting in the student center at Rowan typing this but at the same time I'm looking at other people wondering what that girl in the hat got from the cafe and who that older looking lady is talking to on the phone or why that unattractive couple is thinking it's ok to cuddle on one of the couches and be all gross together--but hey far be it for me to judge them, I mean they look pretty happy even though they might be making some people uncomfortable with their gross, smell, ugly happiness. This kid in front of me has amazingly flexible arms and keeps showing me this by stretching constantly by the way. In any event, I guess being this bad of a people watcher has it's upside--it keeps my imagination up to par with the crazy stories or dialogues I make up for each character in this place or anywhere else i'd be. At the same time however it probably doesn't help my A.D.D. since a portion of my focus goes to the constant people watching I'm doing. At the end of the day, though, I wouldn't want to change it because I think it teaches me a lot about people, like their mannerisms and their body language--I guess I owe a lot of my ability to read people and socialize particularly well to crazy amount of people watching I do. So thanks over active imagination you keep me interesting and weird and possibly clinically insane--but at least I'm not boring.
