Well...oh well.

Ran away from home yesterday, am now staying with a friend for the weekend, until I can figure out where to go next.  I need a job and an apartment, but I have no idea how I'm going to get either.

I'll keep everyone posted.

I can't see how it could even be considered a good situation. If you fuck up your college career by running away from home and dropping out of school, you will work in fast food for the rest of your life and you will hate it. I know this. I've seen it happen.

Christ almighty, I'm 24 and sometimes I wish I could go back and live with my parents. Life outside the home is hard and for someone as young as Fortuna it's practically goddamn impossible. This isn't a story. This isn't a fantasy. If she does this her life is going to suck insurmountably. There's no guaranteed happy ending- in fact all odds are against it unless she goes back home and continues to persevere with her college career.

I don't know, I want her to be all right and to be happy. But I know that she'll- that you, Fortuna- will be neither if you keep walking down that path.

Like I said, you can IM me if you want to talk about it. I'm headed out for home in a few minutes, but after that I'll be around all evening if you need me.

You can talk to me if you need to, too, Alex. My contact info is on LJ.

No shit, I KNOW. And, I mean, at least over there (in your country) you will have a life. Over here in Mexico at most you will aspire to work on a dangerous factory breathing smoke for 16 hrs a day and 6 dollars (a day, too). I reacted like that because I didn't thought that she would end up with a sucky life, my first reaction was "What? If you keep that up, you will HAVE NO LIFE"
I'm 20 and still have to live with my parents and it's alright with them because they know how hard things are when you're on your own and I want to get a good start on life by getting a good career.
Also, a while ago I tried to contact you but my msn said your info was wrong or something and I couldn't add you. I'll try again now, see if I did something wrong when trying to add you back then.

Holy shit. That's pretty goddamn bad. Like. Way worse. BUt yeah, see, that? You don't want that. Either. So. Damn. D: I'm sorry to hear that, hon. At least you know you're not bound for that fate, Alex. <3

Hoshit lemme check, my old e-mail might still be on there. Check back in like, ten minutes and try again. XD

Edit: Too much effort. My MSN is afalk@lssu.edu
