Or really, imitation of adulthood. Somehow, sitting on the couch staring at our empty-beer-bottle-infographic (we had a party; we don't drink nearly enough by ourselves to constitute an info-anything) and listening to music YouTube doesn't feel much like being an adult. I guess I did cook my own food and wash dishes, but that's probably about as

Yeah... the bar scene's not my thing either. I know some folks have a great time there, but for me, the only things I can get from bars are (1) alcohol and (2) shallow connections in a noisy environment that try to appear deeper than they really are.

Give me quiet time to reflect, read, pause, cook, eat, think, and converse thoughtfully with a few people looking to do the same; give me tinkering time, give me experimentation time, give me space to write or play piano or guitar. I'd choose it over bars any day.

Someday I'll come out to California and visit you, Nikki, and we should hang out and catch up. In someplace that isn't a bar. :)

You should come visit us. There are nifty restaurants and things too. And Ellen is a fan of bars that aren't loud and raucous, so we have had some very pleasant bar outings too.
