crazy cat lady status worthy

So, I was in town this afternoon--ok, complete side note here...I remember when I first moved here and thought it was so ridiculous that people called a city with a McDonald's in it "town." Now I think it's weird when my visiting friends look at me perplexed when I say it...okay, side note over :)--Like I was saying, I was in town this afternoon, and let me just tell you, I'm not sure people realize that Christmas shopping is over now. The crowds make it really frustrating for people like me who just need a notebook, floss, chapstick, and conditioner. I mean, come on people. Anyway, I was out and about and decided I needed sustenance. What I really wanted was a burger from Red Robin, but I honestly couldn't tell you where the closest one is, so that was out of the question. It wasn't until I was in the drive-thru line at Arby's, though, that I realized that even if there was a Red Robin anywhere close, it's not really a restaurant I want to go to by myself. And suddenly I was the depressing friendless girl sitting by herself in her parent's car in the drive-thru line at Arby's. Don't get me wrong. Most of the time I love living in a small town, but it'd be nice to be able to call up a friend to go out to dinner with. Most of my friends live at least an hour and half away. Hmm...maybe I should try this whole being social thing...

...then again, being anti-social has it's charms...like I don't have to share my fries, and I can sing to whatever I want on the radio...completely out of tune :)

I feel your pain. And I also understand the joy of having fries all to yourself.
