Girl: I keep bumping into you!
Boy: Like this? (literally bumps into her, sidling up to her, who bursts into an insanely embarrassing giggling fit)
I had the urge to throw something or let a mean comment slip, but like my friend so explained to me today, everyone has a firewall in brain that screens whatever you do before its outward manifestation. Thankfully mine is still very much intact. Or else you'd just hate me for being angsty and curt and 100% monster. Trust me.
Anyhows, I absolutely lurve eavesdropping on strangers' conversations. It just teaches you a whole lot about people totally outside of your reach, that all guilt just melts away with every new snippet you gather up. Call me crazy but I think it's more entertaining than all Chinese drama serials put together. I've heard of cheating boyfriends and good shopping haunts, pesky bosses and people's first times. (wasn't able to decipher the latter conversation, but I hope it isn't what I think it is. eeks!) I don't even have to lean my ear on a conversation; I just have to close my eyes and pretend I'm listening to the latest reality radio programme. Maybe that's why technology has been plugging the ordinary man. Blogs, reality TV shows; all in a bid to give yr typical John Doe some piece of the celebrity pie. And it's working- we're discovering that the people around us, the ones with the REAL issues, are ten times more captivating than people caked in make-up who prance around in their la la melodramatic worlds, where there's always room for the exagerrated sound effect of a i-cant-believe-you-did-this-to-me slap.
Voyeurism is just taking over. And guess what. You, yes, you, dear reader, are falling prey to this disturbing trend! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
