Slacking
I've been a major slacker. I didn't post yesterday, and now it's nearly midnight and I still haven't written anything. Shame on me!
I have a whole two fans and for them I need to keep to my schedule.
So I'm watching Dr. Horrible again, with two friends and one of their friends. They wanted her to watch it pretty bad; they love the show, but as I see her (not) watching it, a dirty look on her face, it's important to know just how a person will react to something, or at least to have a vague idea of what they like before you try to tell them they'll like something. I just don't think she's the sort of person to like the humor style, but how should I have know that, I've known her all of six hours now. But, she's nowhere near as geeky and silly as the friends I tend to hang out with. It makes me wonder why they're friends at all, a little.
How do you know what a person is going to like before they're exposed to it? How do you know what a person will enjoy? More importantly, who should know this information among a group of people? Should it be the girl who caught sight of it early on in the movie, or the two friends who have known her for years who keep excitedly quoting and laughing and not noticing the dirty look on their friend's face? Or maybe it's my lack of knowledge of this person's manerisms. Perhaps this is how she shows her approval? She just seems uncomfortable.
Is it my place, or anyone's place to try to understand what another person's expressions actually mean? I mean, my facial expressions were some of the least expressive (or frequently backwards) for a good long time, until I was properly socialized. So who am I to judge whether she likes it or not? Why should I be worried about it, anyway? Should we be worried about what a person I don't know actually cares. And observing the reactions of other people.
Dammit...
