Socializing

I have taken it upon myself to at least introduce myself to one of the Autobots I don't know each day. Doc agreed it was a good idea. Today I introduced myself to Sideswipe, he had come earthside a week or two ago but I had been avoiding anyone made of machinery at the time so I really hadn't seen more than a glimpses or two of him. He had been out and about a lot too.

So when I ran into him after coming into the base I put a smile on my face (facial plates? I'm going to have to ask Ratchet what the proper terminology is for limbs and faces) and didn't give myself a chance to slink away into the shadows. He was actually quite personable. And I found out we both share a liking of Lamborghinis, he even chose one as his alt mode, and well, I am a sucker for a Superleggera though not so much the red.

We spent most of the day racing around the roads and freeways between the base and San Diego. It was a blast, those are some of my favorite roads and I'd never had a racing buddy before, even as a human. It was fun and that was something that had been in short supply so really I consider this a success.

But almost as soon as I think that, once the outright statement of it fades from my mind I am back to missing watching MotoGP on cloudy afternoons with my family. Missing sipping a cup of tea as I stare out the kitchen window into the bright, crisp morning. I'm going to have to ask the Doc whether I should just try and constantly distract myself with fun robot/car things to get used to this idea of being a robot/car.
