Am I Paranoid, or Is This As Fishy As This Feels?

I am at the airport, waiting to board on the way home. I got up early because I wanted to ensure a timely cab and make sure my chronic lateness for everything doesn't effect me today. Everything I read tells me people should arrive two hours early for their flight, so I called my cab around 7:45, which was very timely, he got me to the airport in record time by going on back roads- I was here by 8:10. I went to check in and the guy's like "you look tired", and I told him I'm never up this early/haven't eaten yet, and he said that the only good food is outside security, looking at my watch, I determine I have enough time, and have Popeye's Chicken pancakes.

I went through security- no line. I'm pretty sure in the 20 minutes that I ate, nobody went through the gate A security. And I can see why: I got here, and it's deserted. The staff, everyone, keeps coming over and talking to me, like they've never seen a passenger before and I'm some sort of exotic creature, but my ticket and my online flight status say this gate, and I guess Sundays down here people expect you to be at church?

I'm trying not to be bitter, and I am usually a very friendly person, but when I travel alone, I kind of like being left alone. Company is nice, but if I don't know people, I generally don't like it when they just ask me questions.

I'll write more later, but know I've never seen an airport this deserted yet friendly.
