If it isn't one thing, its another.
Got my ticket paid, but now I have to mail them money and a form before my license is reinstated. Blegh.
Figured out what was wrong with my rebates, got those all sealed up and ready to go with 37c stamps on them. Postage has now gone up to 39c.
Whatever.
You know, I didn't realize until I moved to Orlando that I had practically everything I needed at my fingertips in Jacksonville. There was a CompUSA for all of my computer problems, Riggsy's for when I wanted a solid Pool hall, three or four hookah bars within reasonable distance, The Armory (which is a GOOD lan gaming center, as opposed to these shiny business-only ones down here), a 24-hour CVS, an empty Publix parking lot to hang out in, three malls with three different movie theaters, and we were on the outskirts of everything, so we could head down to the river if we wanted and get away from people. Even St Augustine was reasonably close.
Orlando: One questionable pool hall, one pathetic hookah place, no compUSA, acceptable malls/movie theaters, no river, no st augustine. Really the only thing it has going for it is that Brian lives here.
I want to go back to Jacksonville sometimes.. maybe after I graduate. But I want to go back with my expectations but not my memories, which I don't think I can do. And I think if I lived there, even if it wasn't Fruit Cove, I'd constantly be expecting to see someone I used to know and I don't want that. I want the conveniences of my past without the problems, y'know?
The thought of living in a completely new city, all by myself, is kind of scary but I can deal with that. I just want someplace close to St Augustine, with the same kind of things nearby that I had at home. I wonder if that's possible?
Who knows?

Orlando has as much if not more cool stuff than jacksonville, and WAY cooler people. Just look harder!
You're totally right about Orlando having the superior set of people. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the comforts and familiar places nearby that I love about Jacksonville. I love how close a quality pool hall is, as well as a compusa, malls, st augustine, and multiple hookah establishments. Such places are harder to find, slightly more run-down in some cases, and farther away from me here in O-town.
