cosette

I still don't understand why you hate it here so much. It must be that you grew up here and it's all old and stale. I know I hate my hometown too. I'm really enjoying it here so far.

I spent the first 20 years of my life in Saginaw, MI, pop.65,000 or so. The next 10 were spent in Kalamazoo, MI, pop.50,000 or so. This place seems fucking huge to me. I know it's not NY or Chi or SF or anything like that, but still significantly larger than what I am used to. I had to drive 2+ hours to see any concert that I might want to, now it's a 15 minute walk. It also helps that I am an enormous Reds fan and I live four blocks from the stadium. Don't get me wrong, I see some faults here....shit downtown closes way too early, for one. I know at some point the newness will wear off and I'll need to relocate again. I doubt I am here for life. But I'm enjoying it for now.

One other complaint I have. I need a girlfriend and there are no good places to meet people in this town except bars. I really don't care much for going to bars.
