Why do young people love going out so frickin' much? We get it. You love being out. You still believe the world is an inherently good place full of possibilities. You've not yet completed The Trials or know The Terrible Truth. Only indoors is safe. Inside with the doors locked and the curtains closed. At home where the TV and the biscuits live. There are no surprises at home. You cannot bump into people. No loud and terrifying public transport. Just soft carpet and your best friend - old Fridgey.

@TheBreadmonkey Preach! I'm DJing within a couple of metres of old Fridgey tonight
@TheBreadmonkey
Counter point: The bands I like don't play live music at my house. 🙂
That's my primary reason for still going out occasionally.
@TheBreadmonkey Fucking bumping into people. Hateful.
On the way back from the shops earlier a man with a dog said hello Ben and it took me ages to recognise him as a neighbour and then went OH SORRY I DIDN'T RECOGNISE YOU as with a sharp movement I went to say hello to the dog and so the dog barked at me and I said ok then bye and carried on walking. It was a 7 or 8 on the weird interaction scale.
@TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote I had to interact with people today, many of them loud extroverts in a loud place, and it’s just the worst.
@TheBreadmonkey We met our new neighbour today. He is a little odd, deaf as a post and I may be presumptuously diagnosing him here, but there’s something… Or maybe a bunch of somethings going on. Whatever, I’ve decided this: If George gives me an apple from his lovely tree next summer, I’ll probably just die for him in the apocalypse or something.
