Little Shop of Creepies

Just yesterday I had an awakening about people who frequent bookstores and coffee shops. I was biding my time before meeting a friend for an exhibit at the High Museum at Starbucks. I took my moleskine and my favorite pen and sat in a cozy chair and began to write. I took a quick break and observed my surroundings. Some people looked busy, others looked bored and lonely and many looked weird! I wonder why coffee and books attract weird people?

I enjoy coffee shops and bookstores and I have a tattoo, but I don't think I'm wierd (I admit, someone might say otherwise). I like the environment of those places because I enjoy reading and contemplating. Those places allow you to exit all the hustle and bustle, slow down, and gather your thoughts. There's nothing like checking out the new titles and being refreshed by a nice iced chai as a way to escape the Atlanta summer heat.
