I saw something wonderful today.
At school today while I practiced people watching, along came this girl. She was cute and plain; that odd sort of style that's hard to put your finger on, a quiet smile on her lips. Anyway, along she strolls towards the steps when she does that thing skirt-wearers do where they smooth out the skirt along their thigh. I thought this was due to the breeze, but oh no! How wrong I was! She smooths her skirt, sits on the railing, and slides to the bottom of the steps. Then she does it again on the next tier of steps. Then she continued on her way.
What I found remarkable was that it was entirely simple and just pleasant. Like the song say, "...without self-consciousness self-loathing or conceit..." She was alone. She made no hint at caring if there was an audience. Just pure simple playful silliness for its own sake. Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Now, of course, I must stalk her and discover her secrets!

Ha! I like your halloween suggestions...... Whatever costume I wear, I'm also pretending that I have a long lost love in Texas, who I've never met in person, but he has seen me naked! Hmmm, I don't think Scott would dig that so much.
