lessons of a california girl living in the south, part 2: the fear of sonic

after twenty-two years of fast food the normal way, you drive up and there is ONE window... imagine going to a foreign place and there are many more... yes, i have a fear of sonic. not the hedgehog or anything else, but the fast food place. why, you ask? well i just don't know how it works... you see, do they all work? can i just go up to one and then magically order? do i really have to eat in my car? are there any vegetarian friendly options? but just driving by one is overwhelming because i have no idea how they function in a normal one-window drive thru society... honestly who goes outside the box like that?
in california we don't have sonic or anything like it, so i have a good reason to be freaked out!

what i really am trying to say is that, deep down i think that i have this fear of the unknown, of something different. like i mentioned in my last post, churches that i am not used to i usually feel uncomfortable because i am not used to it. but i was able to go to a church out of my comfort area so i should be able to make it to a sonic, right? but i am really bad with the unknown and restaurants... i don't know why, that's just how i am. so in the next week i promise you, all those avid 'celebrate mistakes' readers. i will go to sonic and i will conquer this fear. be sure to check back for my reaction blog!
