Homesick.
It was bound to happen. The deeper we get into fall, and closer to winter, I'm finding that I'm getting terribly homesick for Minnesota. I miss everything about that state. Hell, it took great care of me when I needed help. It gave me free health care, and allowed me to get my tonsils removed.
I don't know perhaps I'm just reading too much into my emotions, but I just.. guh. I've been searching high and low for places to live, such as renting a room somewhere. Prices out here are fucking retarded. There's hardly anywhere below $650 for a goddamn room!!! Unless you want to live in some ghetto or slum. I did a bad thing and got curious... Looked into what it would cost out in Minnesota... Prices HALVED. And they were all in GREAT areas too. Like Burnsville, Roseville, Lakeville, Chaska, Eagan. I saw rooms available for $300 a month with all utilities, internet, and cable included. Seriously.. What the fuck.
Being out here is great and all, being close to friends and family. But it feels like the same old feeling I got when I used to live here. Just this feeling of... being stuck. Even though my life wasn't great while I lived in MN, it was still a great state to live in. The people were a lot more friendly and laid-back than they are out here. Gas prices are typically 20 cents cheaper than here. And everything was close by ranging from state/town forests/parks to malls and shopping areas, grocery stores that are open 24hrs within a decent drive [or walk in some cases]. A donation only Zoo, plus a world-renowned zoo for its tiger rehabilitation efforts.
And here? ... Some walmarts are open 24hrs, and McDonalds... The closest zoos are about a 45+ minute drive. And shopping areas are few and far between compared to MN. Meh... I'm just gonna shut up now since I'm rambling and Supernatural's starting. I'm sure this'll blow over soon, it might just be time for me to go sit in the woods soon.
