The way you look tonight

I find people really interesting. I invest a lot of my time and energy on people. I gather information on them and I have a habit of knowing lots of information on the people I am close to. My roommate Marcindra and I joke that I know everything about her because I pay attention to her stories and remember them.

I especially love watching and listening to people I don't know. I discover lots of insight about a person by the conversations they have with those around them and the way they move and act. Sometimes I wish I spent more time watching the world around me instead of being busy with all the things that fill my life.

I was thinking about how my deep interest in people makes me feel like a stalker sometimes. I spend lots of time reading blogs because I find them so fascinating. It shows me what the blogger thinks is important enough to write about and I can glean a lot about a person from what they do, how they say things and the choices they make. I guess blogging to me is like reading a novel that is in real time. I get hooked instantaneously and I just can't stop.

So, point of this blog entry is don't be freaked out by me because you think I am a stalker because I am not. People rock so be proud you are one.

I too like reading blogs so that I can penetrate into their minds. I'm pretty sure people appreciate it when their friends know them well, so I don't think that makes you a stalker. btw, I hope whatever I'm typing makes sense, because it is way too late/early for my brain to be working.

I like how honest this post is. It's very real and I love the simple beauty of it.
