This morning there was a little something that made my mind wander slightly...
As part of a lecture designed as a lead-in to things happening over the coming weeks, we were introduced to the people that are going to lead those happenings, two men and one woman. Nothing remarkable in and of itself, admittedly!
But after their introduction, they left the room. One of the men raced off, obviously to do many wonderful academic things or something. The second man however.... Slowly left the room. But he didn't just leave, he backed out slowly, never taking his eyes of the female tutor from the moment he stood up until the moment he walked backwards into the door to push it open, which he then went on to hold as it she followed him out.
Of course, I instantly perked up at watching this! 
But it's made me consider things a bit too. People on here, or at least some of us, notice these things happening around us, but I wonder how much we attatch our own meanings to the actions of others in this way, and see what we want to see in them rather than what actually happens; even if that is just enjoying an isolated moment of someone elses life.
That said, I don't really see it as a bad thing either, since it's always nice to muse on the little things. More just a general thought than a question of any kind

Well, I did tell you about what happened by the door when we closed that bar down. All those meaningful looks towards my kit - and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine them  . "Give up your body to such sweet uncleanness"

All I noticed was that you're using your fluffier hair icon. See, it has the capacity!

You tell him!! I insisted on the 'fluffed up' version t'other day (when gallant Phoenix was kind enough to assist in moving my furniture), and twas much more fetching. And Madkat agrees. That's a vote of three for fluffiness, and one against. Majority rule, Phoenix!!!!

Ooh, I didn't know there was a popular campaign! I met him a week ago and his hair looked like a dishrag. Given the promise of this photograph, I was not pleased. Who dares vote against??

Well, the vote against would presumably be me, despite my stance of 'I don't really know right now' suggesting uncertainty more than negativity, although there are people who like it like this too (somewhere!).
On the dishrag comment, in my defence nights on sofas don't generally tend to lead to hair based goodness, but you take what you get
I do have to point out though that the 'fluff' of last night was very likely crap, as it was basically 'dishrag' hair, but messed up a bit, so was very likely just a messy dishrag. It certainly wasn't the 'old school' fluff of profile pics When a man loves a woman it should be understood, | |

it does seem that he was acting in a very purposeful way to avoid turning his back on her. Maybe, just a very polite man, maybe something a bit more...but obviously something that appealed to you. That's nice ~Dance Me to the End of Love~ | |

No, "crap" fluff definitely won't do. Fluffy hair is more important than the mere conventions of politeness.
