we're too young

i find people watching to be an interesting past time, as i stated in an earlier blog entry. in a matter of seconds, just from looking at a person's face, or clothing, or actions, my mind creates a whole lifeline for people i've never met before. where did they grow up? do they have any brothers or sisters? do they hate their job? what makes them happy? do they love the cubs? instantly i find something in common with these people, even if this common bond is completely fabricated.

sometimes i'm lucky enough to see people who i think look like much older versions of people i know. this morning, on the way to school, i passed by a woman in her 50's. her hair was wild. she had little black glasses, and a loud jacket. i smiled as i immediately thought of kasey foster - only 25 years older.
