in that moment, i swear we were infinite
i should be working on homework, but i'm really tired of trying to make what looks like the front page of a newspaper on word. i made the assumption that we have publisher on this computer. it turns out we don't.
i read the perks of being a wallflower last week. i really enjoyed it. i read it in a couple days. when i read i have this habit of imagining the characters in the book as looking like people i know. it is easier for me to imagine a character if it's a face i've seen before. maybe that's dreadfully common and i'm just unaware of it. nonetheless, for the character of charlie, the face of a kid in my highschool came to mind. i've never talked to him, and when i see him he is usually alone. he usually wears a sweater, a vest, navy blue dickies, and a scarf. he also has his hair died black and black frame glasses. so basically, i suppose, he is the emo/indie poster child. when i saw him yesterday for the first time since reading the book, it was kind of weird, because i had grown so accustomed to picturing him as charlie, i put all of charlie's characteristics on this kid for a split second, and i thought i knew him. then it hit me how my behavior might be thought of as stalker-ish, so i looked away. i am curious to know if anyone else ever does this with characters in books.
you know what that means. if i look at you funny the next time you see me, it might just be because your face fits the character of a book i'm reading. or i might be stalking you. either one.
