Going to cafes

I love the idea of going to cafes to get work done. There is something nice about it. Like being a novelist or writing my screenplay in a starbucks. I do none of those things, but pretending I do seems like a fun idea. The sort of work that I do at home can easily be done inside of a cafe. I bought a laptop specifically so that I would be able to bring it outdoors with me and get work done away from home. Unfortunately this does not go well with my not wanting to go outside problems. So the farthest I have brought my laptop is on to my bed. What a waste.

There is a nice spot in Barnes and Noble that I like. The problem is getting there is such a hassle, and if I travel all the way there to find that there are no seats, then that is really just a waste of my day. I can't go to starbucks either because there is never any available seating. I don't understand people who say they get all of their work done in starbucks. How the heck do they find a place to sit? Do they live in a town with a population of 100? I live in New York, so getting a seat in starbucks is really like a fairy tale fantasy. I guess if I showed up right when they open the store I'd be good, but who really wants to do something like that anyway?

Tomorrow it's supposed to be very nice outside, so I am thinking I will finally take my brand new laptop out into the world. I probably won't though. I'll wake up feeling extra lazy and end up working at my desktop in my pajamas. I think I lose motivation because when I go out alone I feel very self conscious. I'm not entirely sure why. I know that no one is paying any attention to me, but I feel weird when I am sitting alone. It's really silly. I wish I could just act like a normal person sometime. Maybe someday I finally will transform into a regular person. One can only hope.
