Life is not about finding yourself, but about creating yourself.

So next weekend there's some sort of beer festival going on in town. Now, I'm becoming a master of doing things alone, today I even went to breakfast alone because dammit, I wanted pancakes, but I just can't go to a beer festival alone. If it was a music festival with a beer tent, okay, that I could do, but this is a get-a-bracelet-and-a-plastic-mug kind of event so far as I can tell. And going alone doesn't really sound like fun and might sound a bit like I have a drinking problem. And I spend too much time alone during the great gap of time between Friday afternoon and Monday morning. Yes, I'm trying different volunteering things, but I'm also watching more TV than is healthy. I don't feel isolated...yet.

This means my aggression towards people I want to be friends with needs to take it up a notch. Since I'm pretty sure that the friends of friends I have met lately didn't take a shine to me (there was another set since my last blogging, even cooler than the first and I think I tried too hard) I am pretty much left with work and school options. School, well, some of the people I interact with the most are under 21 and/or possibly Mormon. Probably not the best partners in crime for drinking festivals. And the people at work are a little older, have kids or just don't seem to like me very much, so also not a whole lot of options. But, I'm determined, so I thought a little further and now there are two poor women who will get asked this week, what's your position on beer?

Wish me luck.
