No for real though, I am from a large city, and I recently moved to a very, very, excrutiatingly small town a few months ago. I did this because this is where I got a job, and I graduated last May with an Environmental Science degree. With the recent economic bs, budgets that fund things that I do shrink pretty quickly. But, I am only like 40 minutes from where I went to college, so I can get there and go out when I want. Other than that, It's drive a few hours to go home to see people, and there's a couple people around here that I've met. But, other than THAT, nobody. I live in a small town on a large lake, pretty much all summer homes. So, the few people i did meet here who were actually sociable and cool left in the Fall. So, it gets pretty lonely here, and that is my justification for why i write (or at least have written so far) lengthy pointless blogs about nothing significant.
The upside, I work doing what I love. I live in the middle of the largest contiguous national park, on one of the largest lakes in the state. I love to ski and snowboard, snowshoe, hike, climb, kayak, lots of outdoors stuff, so I am enjoying myself. But at the same time, after going through a winter that started in early October, and had a solid 5 or 6 weeks of the temp never getting above -10, cabin fever's started to get bad. Yesterday I ice-skated on the lake, I could see for miles into Vermont and Canada. I saw 2 deer along the shoreline. And I did not see a single person the entire day... crazy. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon though, I love my job, I love the area, and it's starting to even get out of the freezing temperatures!
After living in Hawai'i, Im amazed i can put up with this shit. I constantly dream of getting back... nothing beats surfing 15 ft. waves on sand beaches.
Anyway, I'm extremely proud of my playlist on my profile, I'd give it a good look if you've read this far. Give me a comment let me know what you think.
