People Watching...

I love people watching. I think it is one of the greatest things to do. I just like observing what other people do. It doesn't matter if I know them or not or whether I can even hear what they are saying. It's just interesting.

Last night was very interesting.

I went out with my uni friends for the first time.

People are at their most interesting when they are drunk. This was the first time I had seen some of them outside of class. It kind of amazes me at how they act. It's like a heightened version of yourself when you are drunk. You feel everything 10 times harder and act on almost every impulse.

Even when you look at people within the place you find all different types. There are the broody guys standing in the corner, checking out everyone, pot of beer in the hand. They aren't here to dance and as much as they want to pick up they'll generally just hang back.

Then there are the people at the bar. These people generally are talking a hundred times louder than usual, all dying for a drink and giggle and shout a lot.

And then there is the drunk guys up dancing. They all think they have something to offer and then you get the one dickhead that comes up and thinks you want to dance with him purely because you briefly made eye contact with him.

And then there are the women.

There's the drunk girl/s. These fall into many MANY categories:

1. The tipsy girl - acts pretty normal, just slightly louder than usual

2. The completely drunk girl - Barely able to stand, eyes unable to function, generally just stumbles around.

3. The girl who will do anyone - There is always one. They will flit from guy to guy till the find someone to hook up with.

4. The group of dancing girls - Generally very protective of each other and just out for a good time.

The list is endless.

The point is, that watching a person act completely naturally is amazing. I find it a really good tool for acting too. To be able to recall simple movements is sometimes one of the hardest things to do. Especially when in a different character.

Anyway, I don't want you all to think I'm a freak. I think I'll stop here.
