Still Fucking Tired...

But today it's for different, and very pleasant reasons. I had a very good night with the aforementioned Stephanie. That, and I slept till noon today, and as a result I am tired and sore. We're not officially going out at the moment... We're waiting on that till I make a decision about where I'm going to be living. Ugh, but I'm leaning towards SC more and more every time I come home. My family is bugging the shit outta me. In addition to that, there aren't any decent jobs around here. Basically my only options are industrial type jobs. I could work at the power company, laying power lines... I could work in a chemical plant in Hopewell... It doesn't look good. The nearest decent job is in Richmond, and that's just a little bit far away. OOOH, I could work at the pig farm over in Wakefield! They're always hiring!

Or, I could be living in an apartment in Rock Hill... A house in York... Or a house in Gastonia. And I could have a decent job. I could maybe work in IT for the many large companies with offices in Charlotte. Classes are relatively cheap. And there are plenty of places I could work in the meantime.

Not only that, but living down there means I wouldn't have to be anywhere near my increasingly irritating asshole stepfather. Don't get me wrong, he's pretty cool most of the time, but when he's in a bad mood, he takes it out on me. And I know my parents are beginning to resent my being here. Hell, even I resent my being here.

Now that I think of it, there isn't any real choice. I think I made my mind up a long time ago. I just didn't want to accept it. I want to go home. I can't stay in this goddamn place anymore, it's driving me insane. I'm always restless. I'm always exhausted. Maybe if I had more friends here, or lived in a different part of the state, it would be different. But I can't afford to move elsewhere without a job, so my only option to get out of here is to go back home. South Carolina is the only place I've ever been really happy.

Nikki, make ready my couch. It's time to go job hunting.

Heh, I guess you're here now, and I'll see you around sometime. You probably don't remember me, but welcome back to SC.
