Seven

My name isn’t Charlotte, but you can call me that anyway.

I’m interested in people. I like the way they react to certain things, I like watching them interact with their environments and with their variables. This makes me sound like an alien, but I assure you, I am not. I’m just a teenager. But really, I find people fascinating. I like the way we get annoyed at stupid things like our weight and our looks (and Paris Hilton?) I love the way we celebrate over things that are ultimately inconsequential, like birthdays and New Years Eve. What I hate about people is their perceived notion of normality. Who is normal? Who is crazy? I don’t like these questions, I just think that we are all neither [crazy or normal].

More often than not you’ll find me writing about social aspects of life, but not about me and my social life. Because you know, I’m not even sure that I really have one. I think other people are much more interesting than I am.

But do you really want to know more about me? What else is there to know? I like humans. Okay, okay. I’ve grown up in a house where I have been unquestionably loved, I’ve attended a school where I didn’t think people appreciated me and I am always surrounded by people. I have an insane amount of love for people.

You know, people-watching is pretty fun. You should try it some time. Who knows? You might end up like me.
