Times of Solitude

As an only child, there are plenty of times where I just want to be by myself, and not do things with other people. I will blow off a party more often than not to stay at home and do my own thing, or go out with one or two people (even though if I end up being pushed to go to the party, I usually have a good time once I'm there). I don't get people who need to be constantly around other people to be happy, but maybe that's just because I entertain myself well enough without assistance.

And as far as activities are concerned...I basically can only go shopping with my mom, because she's the only person who can out-shop me. I would rather go clothes hunting by myself, because then I don't have to worry about somebody being bored/tired/frustrated with how long it takes me to find clothes, or criticizing the clothes I pick out (which is a big problem for me with most of my female friends).

Going to music festivals is also much more fun solo than with a gaggle of friends. Even if you somehow manage to all have the same taste in music and wanting to see the same stages, you still have to keep everybody together. And getting autographs is a bitch if you have people waiting on you. No way...I'll go by myself.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
