Everyone understands the disadvantages of not having a social life. No human contact, no parties to attend, no hugs when needed etc.
But what about the great advantages.
Since I moved to the Capital of Texas, and I am currently lacking a social life, I have had time to do millions of other things including:
1-Working around 50 hrs a week for a job that pays me a total of 20 hrs a week
2- Spend lots and lots of quality time with my mom and my little brother (who is now freakishly taller then me)
3- Read book after book, (On this 2011 I have managed to read a total of four books,and have a waiting list, I am trying to read at least four books a month this year, any one want to bet I can do it? This means I will have read 48 books by the end of the year. Oh hell lets make it 50!)
4- Discovered around five literary magazines which I had no idea existed (Some of them as thick as books)
5- Taken a tour of Austin on a Bus that ended up splashing in to Lake Austin (not to mention the duck whistles I got) Don't worry we did not drown, apparently I was inside no ordinary bus, but on a magical bus that can also float on water!!!! if interested visit http://www.austinducks.com/
6-Have gone to the Capitol so many times I think I finally have it memorized the entire building. Seriously the guards already know my name! OK fine they don't but they should considering how many times I've gone, at the very least they should have me marked down as a suspect. I mean seriously how many times can a girl want to go visit the Capital.
7-Discovered a small park behind the church I go to and actually sat on a swing !!! I had not done that in years!!! And I am proud to say I still swing the highest !!!!
8-Spend most of my salary in new movies, TV series !!! Anything that helps me live vicariously by others.
9-Discovered the greatest creation of all man kind : NETFLIX which is basically a genie lamp !!!!
10-Have joined an LSAT prep course, for which I claim Insanity!!! The class was so boring, not to mention the people were a bunch o STUCK-UP-Wanna-Be lawyers. (No offense to my dear lawyer friends)
11- Have had time to quit the LSAT prep course and have headed back in to my nagging Identity crises!
12-Have discovered that I am in fact a Shopaholic! I can't go to Walgreen's and just buy what I need because I need everything !!! Lacking a social life is excellent for discovering the best shopping spots in Austin: The Domain, The Round Rock Premium Outlets, and the marvelous malls, which names I seem to always forget.
So as you guys can see having no social life has at the very least 12 great advantages. Especially when I live in a city with so many things to do, and places to visit. Did I mention There are Three mayor chains of bookstores here? That's right Barnes and Nobles, Borders, and Book People.
I know It seems like I am being completely sarcastic about everything but I am honest when I say I am lucky to be living in Austin I really honetly can say that I love the city, the atraccions and the series of cultural events and life.
So yeah I am sarcastic but loving it !
