some things i miss about living on the mainland

• being able to go to the 'Dyne without fear that the next day, someone will call out, "I saw Miss going into a bar!"
• appearing in public without fear that the next day, someone will call out, "I saw Miss with her boyfriend!"
• going out to eat after 8 pm and not feeling like a degenerate
• Old Navy, Charlotte Russe, and other purveyors of cheap knockoffs so I don't have to go to Macy's for expensive, less-cool knockoffs
• Cost Plus World Market
• no geckos in the house
• friends, obviously. GOSH.
