to watch or to be watched
Sometimes I really feel like I'm on the Truman Show, of course I hope it wouldn't be called that, cause that'd just be weird. Take now for instance, I'm in the MU and at the other side of the room there is this woman who keeps looking at me. Ok, I am perfectly capable of admitting how paranoid I am, but still I know she's looking at me. It's more like glances, she's taking a peak at me every so often or something. She's writing stuff down, maybe studying. Listening to music too. So maybe she's just thinking and her eyes wander when so, fine enough. But if I were to stand up, she looks. If I answer the phone, she looks. I do that sometimes too though, as I think everyone does from time to time. Anyway, she's just sitting there, not even facing me entirely, and regardless of what she may be doing, she glances up at me from time to time. And just so my paranoia doesn't get a swell head, I'm the only one over here in her entire line of vision, so she is indeed looking at me.
But if you realize, I'm describing her in just the way she is possibly doing to me. I really think that she's just thinking, maybe relaxing over there and her eyes are just wandering. Innocently enough. She just wants to know what's going on around her. But in a way, I'm doing the exact same thing. I've told you where she is, how she's sitting, what she's doing, and of course I could even describe her appearance. So really, I'm watching her, watching me.
