"When everything is lonely, I can be my own best friend."
I'm sorry if you read the earlier entry. I was not fully in control of myself. I have a lot of growing up to do.
Tonight I was the ultimate hipster and went to the Wheaton Starbucks for a white mocha and read Saul Bellow. I took a walk through downtown Wheaton and passed a group of kids younger than me yelling outside their cars--expensive cars, with the engines idling gas away and thumping bass. Boys thrust handfuls of orange arcade tickets in my face and yelled, "Do you want some?!" I laughed, said "No, I don't want any," and kept walking. The girls--always those girls in short jean skirts with drunk boys like that--lined up nearby said, "I don't think she wants any." I saw where the homeless people sleep in the veranda in Adams Park. I saw a "Sorry, We're Closed" sign with the "Sorry, We're" crossed out.
Next, I went driving. I tried really hard to get lost, and almost succeeded, but ended up on Geneva Road by the Jewel Express. I went home.
