It's On
So me and my brother had a big discussion about scary life stuff today and he said he's definitely looking for his own place when he comes back from canada around Christmas time and he said it'd be a lot easier if I moved in with him. For the last the last few months I've just been getting more and more pissed off with life in general really and I think being stuck at home with no real friends is a major factor in the situation. So I'm going to save some money up over the next year and see how things work out then. I laugh at the rather surreal nature of my position sometimes I mean there can't be many 26 year old guys that are still in the same room they were in when they were 10 know what I mean. I hate how I've got into this rut of waiting for something even though I don't know what I'm supposed to be waiting for. I don't want to be in the situation my older brother is in and still be stuck here in my tiny room when I'm over 30. People 7 years younger than me just laugh at the fact that I'm still stuck at home. That's not me saying that I hate my parent's at all I love them and always will in fact I think they're way more tolerant than most considering some of the shit I got into when I was younger and they've never got in my face about any of the stuff I'm interested in unlike the parents of a lot of my older friends who got daily lectures. When I do move out I might end up coming back within 6 months but at least I'm not going to be plagued with regret about not moving out when I had the chance. Anyways I might end up getting a place neare r to where I work then I wouldn't be getting up 5am most of the week which would be nice. In the vein of saving money I might not be renewing my SG subscription when it runs out since I don't think many people will notice I'm not here anymore. Since the main reason I joined was to make friends since I spend so much time at work and with the exception of a few people I haven't really had much success in the matter really, maybe it's me I don't know but I don't seem to have any more luck making friends here than I do in real life.

in comment to your blog, i only moved out two years ago to live on my own, i couldn't ever see it happening until it did. so what if younger people you know have moved out etc; why should you let other peoples actions dictate what you do! is there some law 'thou shalt move out by 21 or thou name shalt be stricken out from the ledger of Men'?
the friends issue, you have obviously touched people here because of the comments above. some people have lots of friends, others don't. i only have 4 people i'd call friend (cos it being an important word), they are the ones i'd trust with my life. i have a number of close aquaintances (some would call them friends too). but one brilliant freind is all one needs. i hope you have that. isn't that your brother? C S lewis had no friends as a child, and when someone said 'oh you must have had such a lonely childhood', he replied, 'why must i have; i had my brother, i needed no one else' (that's not vabatum!).
would coming to a Meet be helpful?
Anyway i hope you feel brighter soon. and hope i haven't spoke out of turn.
