Xeno pointed out many of my issues - I am not licensed, nor do I have a car, etc. For the most part I am only able to get out when at home if I'm with friends [SIZE="1"](this is rare - and is usually a spontaneous realization of "We have Borders coupons, lets go to the mall!"...Thanks to Kitsune's sister, typically. )[/SIZE] or I'm going shopping elsewhere in the area where the Barnes and Noble is. So for me, yes, absolutely thirteen miles is a lot - especially considering in my college town everything I need is within 2.5 miles from the school, including the local Barnes and Noble.
Also consider that I've spent half my life travelling between the west and east sides of Michigan; I know what it's like to drive/travel three hours at any given time. I know long car rides to get from point A to point B. Yes, thirteen miles isn't anything compared to these trips, but those are necessary travels, not for my own pleasure. However, I'll leave it at that so as not to go too off topic.
