ARGH!
Winter is a'comin'. I'm not looking forward to this at all. This will be my third winter in Eastern WA and I am pretty much over the whole "lost in the 50's" mentally of Spokane.
The racism, the lack of open-mindedness, the general stupidity of people here is taking its toll.
That's not to say we don't have some decent friends here....I'm just homesick for both/either CA and FL.
Then there's the weather. We're in for months and months of dirty, dark, gray weather and much of it keeps you from going outside unless it's absolutely necessary.
I cannot begin to tell you what that does for your mood and positive outlook. Before moving here, I had heard people talk about depressing weather but never could relate. Until I experienced it, I would think, "Oh, just turn on some bright lights and get a puppy!" or whatever. OK, not serious about the puppy thing...but I really thought of it as a mind-over-matter situation. I was wrong.
I have never lived this far from an ocean in my life and with the combination of "no beach" and "inherent stupidity," it's becoming more and more difficult to remain optimistic about living here.
Why doesn't my retarded ass just move back to CA or FL" you ask? Because my girlfriend is still going through a stupid drawn-out custody battle that has lasted two years. She is still under a temporary parenting plan. As of now, there is no "end in sight" for this whole battle. Viva la WA Family Court System!
We've talked about me moving back to FL and allowing her to continue this court bullshit here, and having her move once she's sorted it out, but I think we'd miss each other too much.
I hate being torn between "doing what's right" and "doing what I feel is best for me"....especially when the first isn't crystal clear.
We've done the long distance relationship before. She lived here in Spokane and I lived in Florida. It was tough then. I can only imagine it would be tougher three years later after feelings have become stronger.
Anyway, I just had to vent. It's extremely gray outside and I just got off the phone with a good friend of mine who lives in Naples (OK, Bonita Springs...but close enough). I miss the fuck out of him and the area.
