People lately

I think people have been particularly interesting as of late...
  • Last night, walking home from Ash's, I saw a drunk guy with no shirt yelling at another drunk guy (who had a shirt). Shirts vs. skins!
  • Today when I rode the bus to Michaels, I saw a woman with a back brace (she had a bit of a hunchback on her left side) and orthopedic shoes. She was also wearing white lacey socks and a long pink dress, which was very old-looking and girly. I only saw her from the back at first, and I thought she looked sort of tragic and maybe even a little bit lovely. When I saw her face I was a little disappointed, she was a stern looking old woman who looked as if her lips had been sewn shut. I didn't know what to make of her, she was fascinating.
  • There is a man who sits outside his apartment, which is next to Laura's. Every time I visit her, I see him. He looks at me suspiciously each time, and he looks like someone who should be raising a family in the suburbs and having barbeques, rather than living in a studio apartment and sitting outside on a plastic chair.
  • Also on the bus today: a small boy sitting across from me staring open-mouthed at my knitting. It made me want to start showing him how to knit, but I decided it would be creeptastic.
Today I spent 95% of my waking hours outside of my dorm room, and most of the time away was spent on the bus. Michaels is an arduous journey that I shan't undertake often. Also I got off the bus by accident 2 streets before the actual store, and walked there in the heat, and then later got lost on the way to Trader Joe's and had to walk another mile or more. When I got back to the room for a shower I was so tired I was literally shaking. My life is slightly absurd.
