so...florida hasnt been exactly eventful thus far. ive been to the local publix twice since ive gotten here. i have hardly slept. i havent gotten much shopping done. i havent been to a beach. i havent even seen the fucking sun yet. the vacation is ok, but im starting to feel like i should have stayed home. it may be snowing like hell back in pa, but at least id have my friends. i havent met any kids down here yet, but the weekend is now upon us, and hopefully i find someone not in the family to hang out with while im here. even though the last time i was here was the trip from hell, at least then i had my cousins to hang out with, and it was sunny. i think this time ive been in the car longer than i was last time, and ive only been here for two full days, as opposed to four. i also received news this evening that i need to watch out for certain things that should be the last things i need to worry about. i shouldnt be worrying about any 'challenges' even if i am out of town, which really is kind of shitty in itself. i know, i know. im on vacation. i should be enjoying myself. lounging out by the pool. hanging out in the hot tub. checking out the locals *cough* local areas...to shop and hang out and stuff... (ok...pathetic attempt at humer. whatever) i just cant seem to be enjoying myself. ive been cold for the past two days. ive been driving around with no idea of where the hell i am for the past two days. ive been kind of bored for the past two days. the only entertainment ive found is a tv in my room, a computer with no speakers, and a shoppe that i have become addicted to. it just feels like all of the stupid 'stresses' of home in a different settings. this so blows. so much for vacation. smile like you mean it. laur
