yes! i'm sorry to say. i am in a sort of limbo. i want two very seperate things and they don't fit well together. this problem includes wanting to live in two unique locations in the extreme west and the extreme east of the u.s. at the same time. strangly i miss my mom and it sounds like you are craving some distance from yours...what to do? what to do?

yeah, i'm "close" with my mom, although we totally don't understand eachother, we love eachother and she's great company when we're having a nice gin and tonic, watching coronation street together...but i really need some distance lately. i haven't lived at home for over ten years, i'm now married, and don't feel at all like the bratty teenager who left home screaming something about "you don't know me!". one disapproving glance from my mother and suddenly i am two inches tall, and i just want to go to my room and sulk...i hate when that happens!
where do your folks live? are they supportive and fun and nice? or do you just miss mom because, well, she's mom!
tell me about your east coast/west coast dilemma...
what are you studying?

Hey i'll be your friend.

yup, toronto...i actually just moved about 45 minutes away from the city, but I'm still there in spirit. we are trying to pay down some student debt so we're offiicial cellar dwellers now (that's right folks, she's 28 and she lives in her parents' basement!!! happy happy joy joy!) it's been really hard psychologically, kind of cruel and unusual punishment, if you ask me...but we're "lucky" to be able to come here and live rent free for a whole year to try and get ahead. but it's still so hard to be here, i haven't lived at home for longer than a couple of months since i was 17! aaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh
