Same Clothes

Have you ever had this happen to you:
You walk into a particular area of a building or bus stop or wherever. You sit down and you don't look at the other people around you for a while because you're trying to get comfortable. Once you become comfortable with your sitting arrangements, you then look around. Immediately, you spot someone who looks a little familiar, but, of course, you don't know the person. You just know the item of clothing they're wearing. Because you're wearing the exact same thing.
This has happened to me numerous times this school semester. A woman on my way to school had the same sweater as me, and it would be awkward seeing her because I would see her at the exact same time every day for 4 days straight a week.
I was also going to visit my friend in a neighbouring city, and, at the bus stop, I found 2 women with the exact same jacket I was wearing. One of the ladies sat directly across from me, which was a little awkward because I think the other passengers were staring at the two of us, like, "Do they know each other? If they don't, that's awkward." The other woman asked the driver something (I was too far away to hear their conversation) and then she walked away. The bus left the stop, and passed by a Price Smart Foods. Lo and behold, I saw another woman pushing a shopping card across the parking lot WITH THE EXACT SAME JACKET. Seriously?!
It didn't help that I got the jacket from popular store, and most of my city's inhabitants shop at this particular wholesale store. I see many different colours of the same jacket around too, so it's definitely awkward for me whenever I see one.
Also, every one of the other women with the jacket seems to be in their early 40s. AWESOME.

Jealousy

Have you ever been jealous of a family member? Well, I have. On multiple occasions. More recently though, I looked at my cousin's FB profile (who I unfriended a while ago) to see that she's gotten herself quite the stage. She really wants to get into journalism, so she has a kind of column at her university's paper. (Her university is a well-known one and is all paid for her by her dad.) She also blogs about good restaurants and the like in and around her home city, and places she travels too. (She traveled, travels, and will travel a lot because, again, of her father.)
Are you getting the picture here? I'm jealous because she got to do things in her life that I have yet to experience; I don't have cash to throw around! I probably won't be able to travel for a while; I won't eat at different cafes and restaurants because I don't want to pay a certain amount of money just to be disappointed; I don't know what to do with my life; and I certainly don't like strangers peeking into my world!...Even though this blog is seeming to do that...Maybe I'm becoming more open? Hah, I doubt that, doesn't seem like a lot of you know about this blog, and I'm not sure how I feel about that yet.
Anyway, this is kind of like a rant, and I don't have anything else to say.
