IN: And as I cried upon hearing the news - and receiving periodic updates as I took photos of the MoTown Christmas parade - that coworker was there to console me . It meant a lot , and it still does , knowing there are at least a few people here I can turn to despite not having known a single one of them just 15 months ago . Since moving to North Carolina in May 2007 - a whole four days after my college graduation - I ' ve come a long way .
Why were you able to create friendships to have people to turn to ?

OUT: I was friendly and extroverted with my colleagues and did my best to make friends because I was all alone out here

IN: I have such a bad gag reflex and definitely finding hair in my food would have set it off . I somehow got past it and finished my breakfast but I am not sure if I could eat at that restaurant again . Even now typing this up makes me want to upchuck . Danika took me out to do groceries after then I came home and played on the computer . That is twice now that she has taken me to do groceries and I am very grateful to her for it .
Why would the narrator boycott the restaurant ?

OUT: They found something in their food .

IN: It was SO AWSOME ! And Everyone LOVED my Sephiroth and I were hearing OMG Sephiroth ! And ppl touched me and went like OMG I touched Sephiroth ! and I was being worshipped and one of my bestfriends Ragnhild actually got down on the floor doing that !
What is the narrator discussing in the text ?

OUT:
They are describing their own cosplay .
