Are you a people watcher? I am, in the worst possible way. I am fascinated
by people around me and love to sticky beak. So much so Justin has even gotten
up me for staring. I can’t help it, people fascinate me. I love to look at them
and imagine what their life story is.
When Jarvis and I were at Bribie last week I saw this woman. I had
stopped on the ‘calm side’ to take photos and she walked past. Walked? Power
walked! She was so speedy. Which had me questioning why the walker frame? She
was obviously agile and fast. So I stopped and watched her walk past and
imagined a life story.
Do you do this? Make up random stories about stranger you see?
I love people watching.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love looking in people's houses. There have been so many big renovations and builds near our house and I wish that I could be invited in to see the results of all of them...it is so hard to see all the progress and not see the finished product!
Ohhh, wow, imagine having a glimpse inside a strangers house! Now that is the true sticky beak experience.
DeleteYes, always people watching, always wondering their life stories. Everyone has an interesting story to share, yet most of us are strangers to even our own neighbours
ReplyDeleteI am guilty of this. Bar for the lady next door Betty who is 86 (we chat all of the time) I do not know any of my neighbours
DeleteI don't really invent stories to go with the people, but I certainly do get curious. I'm also one of those annoying people who will strike up a conversation with you at grocery stores or wherever and ask 5 bazillion questions (not in a creepy way though, promise). I find people interesting.
ReplyDeleteOhh! You are a chatter! I love it, which I had your confidence to talk to people
DeleteI do a little. more I imagine what has just happened or what might happen after that moment I see them.
ReplyDeletethis morning when we were going for a walk we saw chairs set up on a lawn and people in fancy clothes teetering towards the chairs holding platters of food in front of them. I imagined them getting ready earlier: smoothing down their dresses, tying their children's bows and gathering their food from their kitchens, all baked especially for this moment :)
Oh, were you tempted to photograph them?
DeleteThis is my friend's grandmother!
ReplyDeleteOMG....Really? What is her name?
DeleteI'm not sure her full name, I just know her as Gremzy! haha they've all seen the post though!
DeleteThat is a better name than I could have ever imagined!!!
