Along with browsing Digg.com, I&#8217;m also just gazing around randomly.  This reminds me of the fun times I&#8217;ve had at Cedar Point or the Toledo Zoo where Jim and I would just sit on a park bench and talk while watching all of the people around us interact.  It&#8217;s a great, and mostly underrated, form of entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite moment for this session is seeing a georgous woman across the room.  She&#8217;s actually a friend of some of my friends and I recognize her from being in different plays around campus.  Watching her interact with people across the room, though, I wonder if she&#8217;s acting right now.  I, of course, am not talking about acting in the professional sense, rather the way that we (as people) act to portray the social roles that we&#8217;ve been placed into.  I&#8217;m sure we all do it.  I know that there are many times in my life that I do something because its what I feel is apropriate for the role at that perticular time.  I can remember a few specific times when I even felt like I needed to say something &#8220;out of character&#8221; (if you can remember the old days of MUDing or being a part of a live RPG, D&amp;D Style).<\/p>\n<p>To wrap this all up in some kind of meaningful way, I guess I&#8217;m just facinated by human thought and even more so on sociology.  People watching just enables me to hobby these fields of thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sitting in one of the student commons around campus today, waiting for my next class.
