I'm no body, who are you??

In a recent conversation with my mother, I had said that I'm enjoying being anonymous for a change.

I'm not a celebrity, nor a public person. I have never been, and I am definitely not now. I was pretty well known around my town when I was living in Northampton and Amherst up until not too long ago. You see, I was bartending/waiting at a pretty hip joint in Northampton for a little shy of 7 years. It didn't take too long before people started to notice me everywhere in town. There wasn't a coffee shop or a small market where I didn't bump into someone who'd say..."Don't you work at Mulinos?", or "hey! You were my bartender at the Bishops last weekend!".

Soon, I never had to worry about going out alone. By the time I've ordered my drink at a bar in town, which was always free, I'd be sitting with at least 2 or 3 people, having a good time. --and I'd have met all of them either at my bar or through some restaurant people in town.

I'm not a big drinker which means I'm a cheap date, but even if I had drank a bit, I've never paid for them. (nor for my daily caffeine injection) MY drinks were always on the bartender, who's probably had his/her drink on me when they visited my bar. I was, and still am, always a great tipper though. So, why all this yuppady yada???

I'm nobody now.
I love being in this big city, and I know those from NYC will laugh at me for calling Boston BIG, but I have yet to establish a territory. I know no bartender, waitstaff, nor a Starbucks barrister. I don't bump into people I know. I know no one...

For now, I LOVE it. It gives me a privacy I haven't enjoyed in a long time. I'm sure I will get sick of it at one point, and scream out of my apartment, desperate for a human contact, but for now... THIS IS GOOD.
Don't believe me?? You try it.
GO BARTEND FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS IN NOHO, AND THEN MOVE SOMEWHERE, WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE, BUT MAKE SURE YOU AT LEAST HAVE ONE PERSON YOU KNOW. I DID. FOR AN EMERGENCY, IF I EVER FEEL MYSELF GOING CRAZY....
