But instead I go out, think I'm gonna be the man on the town, end up just eating my food by myself and going home to think about (or, if I'm feeling daring, watch) ponies. But if it weren't ponies I'd probably substitute it with some other distraction like anime or video games. It's just how I am. So i dunno, maybe it wouldn't be better or worse. Maybe I'm just at this fucked up autism base state regardless of what I'm using for escapism.
