Character of the Day

While sitting at Starbucks doing homework, right on the other side of the window outside was one of those real life 'characters' who make a lot of the characters in theatre legitimate people!

So I have my different hypotheses for why this woman was the way she was, I just happened to be studying for psychology at the time of this peeping Tom moment of mine, hah, so I had psychological disorders on the mind...This woman either had a problem with her Amygdala (motor reflexes), really bad ADD, or when I was driving off I caught a glimpse of a tattoo on her ankle and thought “hmmm she is skinny, and has that grandma looking jaw (when teeth are missing)” so maybe this is all the result of a lot of drug use…
She was dressed nicely in a black dress and heals, had a laptop bag and another bag with notebooks and materials in it. At first she looked like she had OCD symptoms and had to make certain movements or do small tasks a certain number of times, or her laptop was never straight enough in front of her because she kept adjusting it. She would wipe dust on her screen over and over, opening and closing the laptop. She would catch her reflection in the window every now and then and adjust her hair over and over until she gained control to look away again. She would put pens in and out of her bags, take out notebooks open them and put them away again. She was continually reorganizing everything, and would repeat the same action over and over again. She cleared everything off the table and took out a large planner, which was highlighted and had little notes written all over it in little boxes. She had that flicking of the wrist motion with her hand like she was about to write something, but never actually did, except for a few random words. Her arms were constantly moving, and she was adjusting her body constantly…
