I found people watching pretty interesting, although I wouldn’t recommend just sitting and really watching people unless you want them to think you’re… either a stalker, or really enamored with their sneakers. Mixing observation in with conversation is easier.

I noticed people’s mannerisms when they’re nervous; they tend to blink more, and nod a lot more when they’re talking to someone. The interesting thing was that a lot of people blinked fast and nodded a lot, even people who didn’t exhibit nervous behavior as in shuffling, not making eye contact, ‘he’s really nervous’ behavior.

😛 So I guess on the psychology side, a lot of people are mildly stressed from day-to-day activities. But the body language aspects are cool to add to writing.
