Yeah, this time I'm fine. Must be the "upward" part of my fun filled amusement park ride known as my emotions!
I ardently dislike going to cafes alone. Maybe this is not a popular sentiment, but for me its so awkward. You go to the cafe, order and drink, plop down in a seat and proceed to browse the internet or crack open a book. Then when your drink ends...what do you do? Pretend you're still drinking? Buy another one? Is there proper etiquette for how long you can stay there alone before its weird?
I mean I could just be at home reading, why go out in public to read alone? No matter where you sit, you'll end up making eye contact with the other person there who's probably waiting for someone else and pitying you for being there all single and alone.
One thing I might add. Jalepeno flavored chips are awesome. I love the "tongue-on-fire" feeling, I don't know why...spicy food is just awesome.
However, the residue from this awesome flavoring upon inspection of fingers and hands, that it has come into contact with, does not leave any friendly evidence behind. You will receive a gentle reminder though, if you start scrubbing a dirty contact lense with those innocuous looking digits, that Jalepenos are to be taken very seriously and indeed do not need to be seen to be felt. By "gentle reminder" I mean by punishing your eyeballs with a firestorm, so that weeping and gnashing of teeth occur immediately after replacing aforementioned newly "cleaned" contact in your eye.
This also unfortunately adds to the list of painful substances I've unintentionally place in my eyes.
Updated Top Five Worst Things to Get in My Eyes now being:
1. Jalepeno flavoring (e.g. upon potato chips)
2. Toothpaste (...I'm not proud of this one)
3. Peanut Butter (creamy...although maybe crunchy would be even worse...I'm not gonna try it)
4. Mascara (run of the mill, and experienced by many)
5. Pho Bo Soup with Red Pepper Flakes (seemingly impossible maneuver until a noodle flips up one fiery drop of liquid straight into the ocular region)
Oh my gosh. I know the feeling you get when you finish a drink at a cafe and your there alone. It's awkward. For netiquette sake I try and drink my drink slowly or get a refill so that I don't look like I am just using them for their internet connection. However, there is nothing wrong with finishing what you came there to do.
