scared but independent

So I was just sitting around at about 6 when I thought HEY! I think i'll go shopping by myself. I felt like being independent. If you know me, you know that I get really anxious doing stuff on my own. So, this was supposed to be a tiny way to try to change that. At first I was going to go to target in High Point but decided to go to this shopping center I had never been to in greensboro(i think). All I knew is that they had starbucks.
Well I'm driving and it's so peaceful. I was listening to Something Corporate and it was perfect. Anyways, apparently I was supposed to take a right at the fork but I took a left and ended up at this shopping center that was made up of a grocery store and a dollar store. I didn't feeling like turning around though, so I said HEY! i'll just keep driving until I find some interesting store in the middle of the night on a street I've never been. It sounded like a good idea at the time, honestly. Well at first it was just kind of this rural town then it turned into this really busy place and then this really scary ghetto looking place. Eventually, it somehow turned into a highway and this point I'm saying HEY! i have no idea how to get back now, shit. I actually said shit, and I NEVER cuss. Everything turned around when I saw a sign that said I was on Edgeworth St. So I said HEY, I know where I am and there is this sweet show at Greene Street today, maybe I should go. So I park and walk down to Greene Street(at this point I'm like man, i'm so independent right now, this is awesome. plus I saw Zach from Sullivan :]) Well, apparently I accidently grabbed a 5 instead of a 20 and didnt realize it until the guy working there gave it back to me. Embarrassing to say the least. Well, I turn around and head back to my car when I start feeling in pockets for my keys and FUCK!! SHIT!FUCK!(i actually said this, and like I said I NEVER cuss) I was talking to Cynthia at this time and she says that she can come and get me. We hang up and I go to my car. At this point I'm crying so hard because I'm alone in downtown greensboro on a friday night and I locked my keys and my money(except for the 5) in my car. Plus, noone in my family knows i'm there. Cynthia calls back and says that she'll talk to me so I'm not as scared. I get bored and hot standing in the parking deck so I walk up and down the stairs and down greene street, at one point I said "ok, if you were shawn from the matches, where would you be right now?" and she says "actually, i'd probably be watching the show" so after that I gave up looking for him. Well, Cynthia gets there with Abraham, and her 2 brothers and I still feel like an idiot.

I just have to say that as much as that situation sucked, in a lot of ways I'm glad it happened. I don't know, I mean I always knew that Cynthia is a great friend(understatement). She's the best friend I've ever had. This proved it though because she was at her mom's pre-wedding dinner and was supposed to be getting her hair done for the wedding but she still left and rescued(i thought that word was appropriate haha)me. If you read this, I love you and thanks.

The rest of the night went pretty much like this-
cynthia got her extensions
we went to her mom's lingerie
went to her house
watched livelavalive videos
then bed.
