country bumpkin in the big city

for the first time in a long time, i felt like i was a rural hick in the big city. a true bridge and tunnel-er, if you will. i'd been down in fallbrook for a week and a half with not much to do but work and watch the old tellie. i don't really have any friends left down here. and the ones that are here are married with lots of babies... so we don't have a whole lot in common. not to mention the nightlife situation here is pretty much non-existent. sure i could make my way over to ron's red eyed saloon for a couple tall ones with the local winos. or i could head over to ringers for some country karaoke. riiiight!

so instead, i played it cool for the week and headed up to LA for the weekend. by the time i got up there it was like i had been couped up for a long time, because i really felt the need to let loose. haven't had that feeling in some time. i wanted to be out with the people, drink a bit, hear some tunes, and dance. and i did just that. it was a weekend full of socializing. from old LA friends, to old college buddies, to former co-workers, even my old roommate! the weekend was action packed and now that i'm back down in fallbrook, i'm kinda happy to be amongst the peace and quiet again. LA can be an amazingly fun place, but all that socializing gets tiresome. damn, i guess i am turning into an old lady!
