q:
what's on your bucket list?
a:
to dine in at a restaurant by myself without folding into the paranoia-induced fetal position for fear that everyone in the restaurant is staring and scoffing because i'm there by myself and they're not.
... that, and learn how to fly a plane.
even though i'm a self proclaimed "miss idependent", i think it's completely nuts to do something so social - like go out to eat, or go to a movie - by myself. even when i travel on business... i'm a take-it-to-go or an eat-it-in-my-car kind of girl. my people think i'm completely nuts for subscribing to that philosophy. robin says it's because i don't have kids yet. someday i'm going to cherish the time alone.
so far, i'm pretty convinced that people are staring at me - wondering where my friends are.
it's not at all possible they're wrapped up enough in their own agenda or party to worry about me. no, they're altogether consumed with the who's and what's of the lone diner reading a book in the corner booth to enjoy their own circumstances.
{i'm going to pretend for one more week that i'm not asking these questions to myself - and robin's singular throw-me-a-bread-crumb/gesture-of-kindness/always-reliable comment before i'm done with 5w wednesdays for good.}
