"I had seven faces. Thought I knew which one to wear"

I didn't realize it till today, but I think I have new pet peeve:

People who look for validation from others to react. 

In class today the guy sitting next to me would do this thing where every time someone said something funny he would turn to me, almost as if to check if it's okay for him to laugh.

Like: (something funny happens) "Guy starts to laugh, checks his left (that's where i'm sitting) checks his right (rest of class) "are people laughing"....scanning....scanning....scanning.............YES...... "starts to laugh"

He kept during this all throughout class. I thought if I moved out of his peripheral vision he would stop. So I scooted my chair back and leaned into the seat out of rang of his scanning eyes.
My mistake, I forgot his head could turn. He found me once again. Looking for validation. "None here Mr.insecure man, please look elsewhere." I said.....in my head.


anyway.

just some thoughts. 

Interpol - NYC

I had seven faces
Thought I knew which one to wear
But I'm sick of spending these lonely nights
Training myself not to care
The subway is a porno
The pavements they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow I'm not impressed
But

[Chorus]

New York cares
(Got to be some more change in my life)

The subway she is a porno
And the pavements they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow I'm not impressed

It is up to me now, turn on the bright lights
