I was waiting for a bus with a friend when I spotted a local celeb in the car which happened to be right in front of the bus stop at that point in time. I pointed this out to my friend and she then remarked that I’ve got rather sharp eyes.
We then got to talking about how many people don’t seem to look at their surroundings when they’re out and about. For me, I like to look around and just take in my surroundings (be it nice or ugly) whereever I am. I know my friend D says she’s not like that. She says she doesn’t bother to look around when she walks.
On a bus/train, I often see how dead people look. It’s like there’s no life in their eyes. I feel like I need to shake them out of their stupor. I like to people watch, and I like to look at the people and things around me. I like to look at the way people dress. And when I see a group of people, I wonder how it is that they are related. Occasionally, I spot cute guys. Haha. Anyways, I just think it’s a matter of being aware of one’s surroundings.
It might seem a little rude to my dining companion, but when at a restaurant, I like to look at the people who go in and out. I also like to look at the food that comes out of the kitchen and the food on other people’s tables. :p
So no offence meant to my dining companion if my eyes sort of wander off for a split second. It’s not that you’re uninteresting! But no, I’m not so horrible as to look somewhere else ALL the time. It’s just a split second thing. 99% of the time I’m very focused!
I guess I have a roving eye of a different sorts. heh.
