No matter how independent you are, sometimes it can be really hard to be alone.  It's Friday night, and I'm on my own tonight.  Staying in a hostel, and right now I'd love to grab a burger and a beer.  But as it's Friday night, every place is packed, and I'm tired and not really up for flying solo in a packed place.  It's weird.  I'm on my own so much.  I've been independent and have taken care of myself, 'just me', for over fifteen years now.  But since I don't feel up to making conversation with strangers in a pub tonight, and since I'd feel like an idiot bringing my netbook or a real book out with me on a Friday night, I'm currently thinking of just grabbing fast food and coming back to my room.  Seriously?  FUCK THAT.  That's not who I am.  I can't let myself take the easy way out, it's just dinner!  I'm gonna do it.... soon.  I promise.
