Here i am Raised and grown in New Orleans now settled onto the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Not too far away form home. Finding it a little void of kind folks. Here and there i find a good soul but mostly alot of BS. 29 and well traveled. Always looking for a new adventure new friends.
Welcome to Hip Planet, TallSequoia! I've been to New Orleans a couple of times - many years ago; stayed in the French Quarter; it was really cool - I loved that it was open 24 hours a day! How is the situation in the Quarter going - is it all up and running since that hurricane did so much damage? Don't hear many reports on it; probably 'cause the government wants to avoid talking about it since they did so little to help the people then. I've also spent a couple of weeks in Tupelo, Mississippi years ago when I went there with a friend of mine visiting their family who lived in Tupelo. I've got to say that it was a really weird town - it was kind of a depressing place. Hopefully where you have settled is not the same way. Down here in Florida, you may find a better environment and it's not unreasonably far for you to travel to. Central Florida (Tampa area) is pretty cool because there are three universities there, which means that there is a good cross-cut section of people of all ages there - but particularly where you are concerned; lots of folks your age. Not that you'd have to go to one of the universities at all - just that because they're in the area, a great variety of people of all shapes & sizes; of all different ages; live there. And, the atmosphere is much, much more cheerful than Mississippi. Just a thought for you to consider. I know what you mean about the people where you are - I thought it seemed like they come from another era, or something, you know what I mean? I just felt like I was in the Twilight Zone or something when I was there! If you can indeed work your way down to the Tampa area, you'd probably find it a better place to live - a majority of the people are really nice. Or, another good area is the opposite side of the state; but still in Central Florida - near Orlando and Lake Buena Vista, where Disney World is - lots of potential for jobs there - wouldn't it be fun to work at Disney World?! And, you're just the perfect age to work there, too! Anyway, welcome to Hip Planet, TallSequoia!
