Alone!

If you would have asked me this week to describe myself in one word, I would have said loner. I have been cooped up in my room for the better part of the week all alone with only the insanely loud ticking of the clock downstairs to keep me company. When most people have a house to themselves, they take it as an opportunity to do anything they want without the fear of a housemate’s wrath. For me, this meant that I….brace yourselves…went to the market and bought groceries that are on the more expensive side to be eaten by only me. Things like apple cinnamon oatmeal, grape juice, frozen yogurt and pop tarts. If you thought that was adventurous, I also played music really loud…. for about 20 minutes but then I realized I hate loud music and turned it off.

Ok so I am boring. I was trying to think of fun things to do by myself but I mostly just scared myself by imagining that there was someone living in my basement. We have a sump pump we named Charlie but that is about it and we are pretty sure that he is harmless, although he does makes loud noises.

Because I have been deprived of human contact this week, my days during the Reading week have been spent….Reading! Well, more accurately studying, but you read when you study so I guess I am using this week for its intended purpose. I have also been watching a lot of TV and movies. I caught up on Lost and American Idol and watched 7 movies…The Devil Wears Prada, Where the Heart Is, A Beautiful Mind, The Devil Wears Prada…again (because Jordan wanted to see all the nice clothes) Juno, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and the Spiderwick Chronicles.

So there you have my week as a loner. If you ever find yourself alone, I hope you can think of more exciting things to do. As for me, I think I might go buy some more groceries.
