stop

people tend to classify things. some just categorize little things, they organize their socks according to their size, color and arrange them in an order that they are gonna wear in different days of the week, or others differentiate the scents they use into different types of weather or event as sunny, rainy, formal or everyday. 

since i live in a university district and everyone kinda knows each other from somewhere i felt the need of inventing a method to classify people and how i greet them. there are basically three groups of people to me; the ones that i ignore, the ones i stop walking and have a little conversation with, and the ones that i nod and say "wassup" to while walking and not wait the answer back. 

of course there are sub-groups to these people, there are different ways of ignoring i use for different characters, if this person i am ignoring is into music or kinda intellectual i fake reading or act like i am sucked into my earphones while i pass them by. if they are whom i call "social butterflies" i pretend talking on the phone or if i am with someone, i fake having a great fun and find myself talking about a party that i made up just that actual moment. 

i did exaggerate a little but yeah thats what i do and the ones i stop and really talk with are the ones i really like having around. 

and i do stop a lot.
