how quickly the times do change...

I've noticed something recently that I've found amusing. People in general, seem to automatically assume that the people around them are to some extent static in nature. What do I mean? Do I mean they will shock you when they walk across high carpeting? No. I mean that I've noticed that in some of my conversations, I've heard people try and figure out what / where anothe person is coming from, formulate an idea, and then be bewildered when the other person exhibits behavior almost 180 degees from what the idea they formulated.

Still confused? It's ok - so am I.

For example: Let's say boy meets girl. boy kinda likes girl, but hesitates. girl seems to show interest in boy. boy takes some time to think about situation with girl. boy thinks "ok - I'm interested in girl". boy meets girl again at later time. girl does not seem to show interest in boy. boy is confused. (In case anyone is wondering, boy does NOT equal Obi. At least in this situation ;) ).

The next thing I hear is "waaaah. she's so weird - all of a sudden, she's not enjoying my company. Girls are weird!". It's only once in a while that people stop and think "maybe the girl lost interest b/c the boy wasn't showing interest".

I guess what I'm trying to say is that people forget one of the biggest definintive aspects of life and this universe: things change. Sometimes for no apparent reason, and sometimes for reasons beyond our awareness.
