What I really wanted was to find a place that is ‘mine’. A place that I found on my own, not crashing in on someone’s hangout. I realised that last night when I was trying to decide where to go today. One place was somewhere one of my cousins took me. Another place was a friend’s hangout. And so on. Then I decided to hell with it, I’ll go to the market in the city, and realised that I started going there on my own, and noone else I know hangs out there.
So I’m counting this as done!
How to become a "regular" somewhere
How I did it: I went to the local coffee shop about twice a week and would always be friendly with the people working there.
Now, I can walk in and they'll be like "Hey Emily! A london fog again today? One or Two shots?"
Lessons & tips: Pick a place and stick to it.

I used to belong to a small book discussion group and we’d meet in a cafe, the owner got to know us and would let us sit around talking as long as we liked. Then it changed hands and when the staff thought we’d been there long enough they’d start vaccuming around our table and stuff like that – never mind the fact that we would all order several coffees (with cake!) during our meetings, it wasn’t as if we were just cluttering up the place and making a coffee last three hours. So we found another cafe where the owner was happy to have us, and shortly after the owner sold up and the group disbanded. I’d love to be a regular somewhere again – hmm, where to go?
Lynxster is tired of winter already!
I became a regular at a local sports bar, I have decided it is not worth it…to many temptations.

You are shopping at the drugstore and the girl behind the Pharmacy counter calls out by first Name, to let you know that your Rx refill you called in a few days ago is ready. ?!?
You can check out stuff from the library without your card and they look up the number on the computer without even asking you first or last name.
You can sit down and do your banking at the business window cause the lady that works it, calls you over and chats with you & the manger waves HI when he sees me

They may not be the bar in Cheers but I don’t think I want to grow up and be a barfly.
Every time I went to the new Mexican place in my hometown, I ordered the same thing. Now they know my name, and I don’t even have to order. :)

I’m also a regular when I go out to eat with joes family at an Italian resturant. They know by now I like sprite with no ice :)
I have a job interview today at 2, This job is with the state hospital. I am confident that all will go well so wish me luck.
Embem is unsure of what she wants, but she wants to be unsure.
I go there, all the time.
In the past month, I’ve been there at least 10 times.
I usually go on Wednesdays and some other day of the week.
I order generally the same thing, my favorite thing, but I mix it up…
I just want to walk in there and have Adrianne be like “Hey Em, The usual?”
