Write here; write now.

My subject was a male of about middle age. He was sitting in a brown chair which was located to the right of a door with a sign reading "FIRE HOSE AND EXTINGUISHER IN STAIRWELL" and to the left of where Matt was sitting. he was wearing a black hoodie but the insdie of the hood looked like a tan'green thermal material. The hoodie was fully zipped and he was wearing a green/gray jacket of the hoodie. His jeans were worn at the knee and he was wearing black dress shoes with black high socks. Weird combination of dress shoes and hoodie. He was of medium build and was an average height and average weight.
The subject was intent on one activity only. He was holding multiple sheets of paper in his hands. His hands were holding the papers about midway through the page with his four fingers on the back of the page and his thumb on the front. He didn't do anything the whole time! He just stared at the same page he didn't even look at another paper just the same one for a half hour. It was almost like he was trying to light it on fire with his eyes. He occasionally took a break from spontaneous combustion and glanced around the room at people walking by and just to see what was going on. The whole thing was really weird.
He was super boring. I probably could have picked someone better to stalk for a half hour but he seemed random in the room of what mostly consisted of college students. Here was this shady man who was a cross between a professor and a random guy wearing a hoodie so naturally I figured he was interesting. It turned out the only really interesting thing was whatever was on that piece of paper. I'm actually really curious now to know what he was staring at for a half hour and probably more. It must have been important. Or, like I mentioned before, he was just trying to light it on fire with his eyes. The overall experiece was cool though. I go people watching sometimes but I've never stalked someone(probably a good thing). I guess watching someone isn't really stalking though cuz I didn't follow him anywhere I just stared at the guy for a half hour which is probably just considered being creepy.
