What is your favorite place to go in your city?

I have a feeling that a lot of people, when presented with a question like this, are going to say places like the park or the museum, maybe even a restaurant/bar. Most likely, places where you can be around other people, because “people” are social by nature. That doesn’t mean EVERYONE is, because I’m definitely not that social and I know plenty of other people that are much the same.

So where IS my favorite place to go in my city? Home. I typically like to go home. Not to sound paranoid but home is controllable and safe. Like I mentioned in my answer to yesterday’s prompt, I don’t have to worry about making first impressions when I’m at home. I can also break from routine and just be a gremlin.

Primarily, though, home is where I can do the things that I want to do, like play video games, Magic: The Gathering with friends (see, there’s still part of me being social), or even experiment in the kitchen. Can’t exactly do those things elsewhere, at least not without some restrictions or requirements. I know there are places I can go to play Magic with other people, but I have to be honest…those places typically smell. I don’t like being judgmental, but if you’re in public and can be smelled from 40 feet away? No thanks.

So, home it is.
