I so do that! I read this post aloud to my husband this morning. Enjoy your day.

I do this all the time, and when I have enough guts, I ask for their “real” story.

I like to know.

And that woman in the corner? Sounds an awful lot like me.
Yikes.

Oh! I just remembered a story, about an improv group. They took over a coffee shop one time… it was hilarious hearing it. (google, google…) Hmm… couldn’t find it on This American Life, but here’s a link that goes into detail:

That Outlander sounds *so* much better than the Gabaldon… I had to put that one down, I wouldn’t waste my time with it any more.

I am finding I have quite strong intuitive capabilities, so the stuff I see about people is usually really their stuff, and I feel it, too – so I’m now the one reading, not looking up much. Unless there’s some nice eye-candy.

Read this post of yours listening to a song on your driving list called Boston. It was a simply perfect pairing Jennifer. A great read and good music. The older I grow the more I realize that though life offers me many pleasures, these two simple ones always rank high on my list. Today you’ve offered me both.

Yes, you are a natural born novelist, Jennifer. Love these imaginings. Keeps the writing juices flowing! JCKs last blog post..We regret we are unable to publish it...

I love to people watch.

I did this for hours while single, and living along the beach. And like you, I made up incredible stories and dialog for them in my mind. Although my mind was thinking, people watching often swept my mind to another place, far away from my own troubles. Your post brought me back there. Thank you

I loved this post. I’ve wished for a super duper camera with a telephoto lens so that I could photograph people and then come home and write stories about them….like the 60 year old 6’4″ transvestite in the very vivid dress that was shopping in my store yesterday….oh. the stories that ran through my mind.

I think about this a lot when I see people standing in line, looking as if they were at death’s checkout instead of the grocery store. My face? Every minute is a gift and joy. That said. .. . some days, either anger, joy, despair or some THING fills this face. The lucky observer who catches that. . .

Oh my goodness! I have done that since I was little. I have written numerous short stories of total strangers. Glad I am not alone

Also–best Starbucks order–a no-fat no-sugar mocha with extra whip cream–I tried very hard not to laugh out loud
