As introverted as I may be I still enjoy, on occasion, being surrounded by the seething masses of humanity. It's not entirely about socializing or even making new acquaintances. I just love seeing massive groups of people interacting with each other. There's just something almost magical about seeing people interact with each other. It varies form the types of people to the types of interactions that are taking place.
When I was younger it was seen as being more or less an outcast to be sitting by yourself watching people, but as I've grown I can be extremely content just sitting by the bar with a drink in hand watching people talk to each other. I believe myself to be quite a people person in terms of seeing peoples intentions through their interactions.
The guy standing by the bar that accidentally fell into the friend zone, now he's watching the girl that he used to crush on crush on all the other guys walking around like peacocks with their feathers bumping everybody in their way.
It's like my little experience as a voyeur watching life unfold in front of me and I love it. If I could bottle the experience and keep it for later when I need a muse I would but it's a feeling that fades like a fleeting thought. In the end that's all we can really keep. The memory of a fleeting experience that was once ours to enjoy.
Excuse me, Bar wench, may I have two helpings of thine seething masses of humanity please?
