I just walked back from Coffee Tree, and stopped by Giant Eagle on the way. While entering, I passed one of the irritating fake "starving homeless" people who was begging for money, and while leaving, I passed them buying some nice, expensive microwave pizza. I heard that in some areas, people take it on themselves to identify beggars who lie and follow them all around town preventing them from making any money. People like this make me consider that.

I'm still torn between the need to socialize and the need for large amounts of alone time. Sigh.
