people watching

My last day in the city for a while although I'm tempted to take a day in a month or two, no work, just to do this-watch people in the city.
*Young couple- late 20's maybe. Him- jeans, blue t-shirt, thin, sun glasses, quiet. Her- louder, thinner, jeans, flip flops, pony tail. Chatting quickly, both on i-phones, comparing them.
*Man- plaid shirt, shorts, brown sandals, reading the paper, conservative haircut, frowning.
*Man- brown shoes, jeans, black computer bag, laptop, focused.
*Man to my left- homeless? two bags, blue pants and shirt, drinking water (at least 3 by now), reading magazines and smelling the perfume samples, smelly, smiled at me when he came in.
*Couple-30's? Her- bra straps showing on sides from tank top, dyed hair, bad haircut. Him- crossed legs, short haircut, talker.
*Two women- one louder with very loud laugh, reading paper and talking at the same time.
*Man- just entered looking hurried, frat boy.
*Woman- white tank top, bra showing, clunky tennis shoes, not aware of fashion, just looked at me while typing about her, smiled.
I wonder how I might describe me if I saw me come in the door of a city coffee shop....
