I feel like going out, but what the hell would I do?
I've been even more of a shut-in than normal the last couple of weeks (and that's saying a lot), as the cold and snow has many times kept me even from my daily cup of coffee out at a neighborhood cafe, which on many days is the only interaction with the outside physical world I have at all. And now here it is, Saturday night, and I'm bored and feel like going out, and amazingly enough actually have enough extra money right now to do so; but this is the problem with being a shut-in for an extended period of time, that even when you do feel like going out, you can't figure out an activity or destination that seems worth the trouble of going out in the first place.
Go to a bar? I suppose; but I've been heading to bars while bored for almost 20 years now, and know already that most of the time it leads only to a night of me getting drunk by myself and watching all the nauseatingly cute couples who surround me. Maybe a cafe? Better, although ultimately you've really only replaced the alcohol and jukebox with caffeine and pretension. Attend a movie or play? Yeah, although those are ultimately solitary evenings as well, which makes me think I should spare myself the trouble and money and just stay home.
So most likely I'll end up spending Saturday night the way I spend most Saturday nights; get high, watch "Star Trek," go on Second Life, watch "The Shield," jerk off and go to bed. Who said the life of internet rockstars ain't glamorous!?
