Ooooh-ooooh.
Sep. 8th, 2004 02:15 pmI had something to write about before, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Ah well. It will come to me later when I can't write it down.
I did have a thought today. Well, more of a recurring thought, and that is to wonder what other people think about as they walk from place to place, from class to class. I know that as I walk, my head is usually filled at first with some random crap that usually amuses me. Anyone who would actually watch me walking about would probably find it odd that I seem to often be laughing or smirking at seemingly nothing all the time. But on the reverse side, I do tend to observe lots of things as I traipse about. I tend to notice people most of all. I forget most of it quite quickly unless it really amuses me or is important in some way, but it does tend to make me think. And what I wonder most often is what others think about when they go from one place to another. Most people I look at (I tend to stare a lot. I'm not sure if that's good for being observant, or bad, or plain bad manners, but that's how it turns out.) don't seem to notice much around them. They often seem to be staring straight ahead, whereas my eyes are constantly darting from one person or thing to the next.
I suppose most people think about similar things, and I'd assume many of the same things I do, but I know that can't possibly be true. For one thing, I don't see laughing or smiling everywhere, and for another, I know that my mind thinks of many odd things compared to most people. The reactions people have based on even half the things I say that come to mind are proof enough of that. It's just so odd to think that as I walk down the path to my first class that there's a distinct possibility that no two people are thinking of evenly remotely the same things, and more than that, that I shall never know what it is that they do, no matter mundane or dull it may actually be. If my green ring were a real GL ring I'd sure know...
