@frankmainsail what part of RI did you live in? I grew up in Western Cranston with a ton of rich or wannabe rich kids. I was on the Cranston/WarWhack (as we called it) line near the malls. I worked in the Warwick mall in high school.

@pableauxnouveau thanks. It does suck. I’m glad I’m away from the being demoralized and having people scream at me every day for making a vague post on Facebook that named no names and were really just there for venting purposes, and were 100% private posts to only a few friends. He and the freeloader roommate were cyber stalking me and hacking into my accounts. He’d kicked me out of my room at that point, forcing me to being smaller room that hardly fit my bed in it, and he’d just start screaming at me at like 6am. I’m glad it’s over. I defended him when other people said he was a jerk. I didn’t see it until it became mental abuse and some physical.

@frankmainsail I dated a guy from North Providence when I was in high school. He was bat shit cray, and went to Hendricken, the boy’s Catholic school. I love San Diego, and I go out there for comic con every year! I don’t know if you go to the con, but I’m always down to get meals/drinks (not that I drink much anymore, plus I save being drunk for if/when I am invited to an open bar industry party) with cool people and meet new people where ever I go. This year, assuming SDCC still goes off without a hitch, I am going to for sure live it up and hopefully try to bribe my way into a room/suite at the hard rock (I got to stay there once and loved it!). I have my pro pass ready to go. I’m thinking about moving out to LA/San Diego within a year or so. I just want to live somewhere warm and with more opportunities for me.

@frankmainsail it better be! It’s all I really have to look forward to. Plus I’m supposed to speak at a panel or two, and I need to see my industry friends so badly, especially because I can officially tell them I’m ready to move to one of the places they have offices in to work for them. They’ve asked for years, and my ex husband wasn’t having it.

@chezgeek oh man, I’m sorry! I know 3 other girls who live out here, two of which were SGs, going through it too. It just hurts. If you need to talk, I’m here. I might take a bit to get back to you because I play too much animal crossing, but I’m normally checking this place.

Totally understand. Sometimes I’d forget this place existed if it weren’t for one of my best friends being an SG too. Well, it was only Panda Express... if I recall correctly. You wanna know something weird? Colorado has freestanding Panda Expresses. Like not in a just in a mall food court, they’re in their own buildings! Some of them have drive throughs! How scary fucked is that? Even worse is Denver has “Chinese food by the scoop” so you pay for how many ice cream scoops’ worth of food you get. Never been to one of those places for obvious reasons.

@big_n3rd I’ve lived in Colorado for about 13 years now and only been to Casa Bonita once.  Not that it was impressive. I also live near Cave of the Winds (closer since my divorce) and have never been.

@big_n3rd I suspected the South Park connection hence my mention of Cave of the Winds.

@big_n3rd ironically, I am originally from the town in RI that Family Guy’s town is based on. You can literally see the same skyline of Providence from nearby my mom’s house. I don’t miss it very much. I just miss my cousins and extended family mostly.
