Yea for Pizza

Felt like a grown-up tonight. Went to the only American stlye food service place otherwise known as a quasi restaurant, pizza. Kids on their absolute best behavior and I got to spend time with other adults without having to round the kids up every 5minutes. Pizza place was closed for the last 7 weeks and since I hate Mexican food I have been without adult group socialness for a long time. It looked like everyone else in this little Gringo town had the same idea. I got drunk just waiting for a table. Tonight was just another reminder of what I hate about being here. People get all jazzed about pizza opening and I can get that and would want to get that any time I want in the good ole U.S. of A. Pizza is no big deal, its the socialness that makes it special to these people, and I can see why being couped up during the cold water and no wave season. Pizza brings them together. Most everyone was a bit looped before they even got there, it was a merry crowd. I made my rounds to those who I new intimately. I am quite shy around people who I don't know that well and it would be in my best interest to go out there and meet more people considering how lonely I am. I have been passing the same people by month after month, day after day, saying hello and still not knowing anyones name. My eyes cross when I am faced with trying to remember someones name on the spot. As much complaining as I do about being lonely and bored here in San Juanico I sure do not make much of an effort to get out there. Is it this place or is it me is what I have to decipher.
