Texas is fun to visit, but apparently not to live(well it depends on who you are)

I just got back from a cool trip to Texas, and I found out that even though it may be in better developmental stages than where I am living now, it is certainly not in better social stages. When I went to the malls everybody seemed to be lost in some sort of trance that prohibited them from being able to speak to people. But when I found the ever rare "talkative one" I often found that they didn't really like their job. Most of these people where clerks, and they always sounded like they had something better do rather than work(either that or talk to me)the words that I am using may make these wonderful people sound bad, but they are not. They are wonderful and interesting people, who got stuck in a seemingly boring place. It's amazing to me how you can have over sixty stores, and a skating rink and still not be able to have a good time. I mean I live in a place where we are looking at malls leaving rather than coming, and no skate parks, and we still find some way to have a good time. Even if it does mean going to the same mall or movie theater, fifty times.Thanks for the people at Hot Topic who replaced my nail polish and held conversations with me, even though I came back in the store like five times. Thanks to the dude from Galleria drugs who talked to me.It's nice to know that some days you want out of the store.And thanks to the dude at Spencer's...Lovely..And thanks to the maintenance man at the Crowne Plaza I really wanted to ride the elevators longer though.
