That's not lazy; that's realistic. But yeah, school money sucks. You'll do it, but it does suck.

I love you.

I never finished college. But I never liked school, so I'm okay with that. Didn't get serious about "earnings potential" until I was about 30. I'd make more if I had a degree, but I'm happy with what I have. I hope things work out for you. Your soul seems a bit ravaged, so I think you deserve some peace and contentment.

Portland is nice. Former sg RoseMarie is planning to relocate here from Austin next year to escape the heat and conservatives.

I bet you'd love big bear. A few minutes away from metropolitan southern california area (meaning you'll never run out of work and tons of parties nearby, the best of anything and everything you want i.e. schools and such), but still snowy and freezin ass cold in the wintertime and moderately secluded. Cheap too. And even cheaper.

i kinda know how you feel, i'm graduating a bit late in life myself right now. and i still don't feel good enough to go out there and find the work i want.
