the island of misfit toys

i started to pay close attention to interactions between people i know today (my future therapist mind shall come in handy one day). i noticed the body language, and took note of the specific way people worded things to specific people. how odd it is, the way people would say something to one person, and say it completely different to someone else. for example: someone might say to sarah, 'oh man i cut my finger earlier when i was cutting tomatoes' and to josh they would say 'dude i sliced my finger open today. it was so sick!' people change the way they talk, and what they talk about with different people.
so on to a new topic; i'm in the singles branch for my church, and we all pretty much hang out outside of church activities as well. when thinking about each individual...i realized that we're all incredibly different. well yeah, obviously no two people are alike, but still. we are an island of misfit toys, if you will. i honestly don't see how some of us get along. we're just...strangely situated together.
subject change again. i was reading online a couple of months ago about people watching (which is something i frequently do), and apparently colleges sometimes have clubs for that sort of thing. now that i am transferring to park university, maybe i could suggest we begin one? i am an expert people watcher. the interacting of human beings fascinates me. i guess the point of this post is to just put my odd, discombobulated thoughts out there into the vast space of the internet. (even though i have no followers at present). i guess i like it that way though. it's safe. it's forgiving. and yet...it's liberating.
