This is my second thanksgiving break since being at Job Corps. So far I am very bored at home, but I was bored at Job Corps too. It is much better to be bored and alone then bored with 50 other girls. Thing is, I'm finding out that my 'sweet solitude' philosophy has probably done more harm than good. Right now, I have Cody, Megan, and my brother and sister who I can hang out with. Possibly a girl named Valerie, but I haven't talked to her in forever. Brother, sister and Cody are all a very long drive away so it's not like I can just call 'em up and hang out. It's a long trip! And Megan is VERY busy, I don't think we'll have time to see each other this break.
The problem I see with having lots of friends to hang out with is the expense. Movies, lunch, mall trips, bowling, unless you want to just hang around bored out of your mind you have to spend money. It's not easy like it was 10 years ago when all my friends and I needed was a few barbie dolls and play trucks. I can't afford a lot of friends. Besides that, I don't even know where to find anymore. I have been told to hang out in book stores and cafes, so I would happily hang out at Barns & Noble but again that is money! You can't go to Starbucks without buying a delicious latte. Plus how weird would that look? I don't know... I don't think Cody wants to be the only person I have to spend time with in my life. Then again, maybe once I get a job I won't want to hang out with anyone. I'll probably just want to go home after work. I'm not sure if the club and bar scene is really me, though a night club does sound fun. I don't like loud music or people, so that could be a problem. Maybe that's the problem! I don't like people. Or do I? I really don't know...
