I just moved to Newfoundland 2 months ago and I'm still extremely homesick! I thought it would be so easy to pick up and leave, have a clean slate to start fresh with. I didn't realize how hard it would be leaving family and friends behind. I always thought I was a really independent person, but I'm seeing now that I was very dependent on them for my security. It's like someone stole my blanky 
Worst part of it is, I moved here so I could possibly, hopefully get things rolling in regards to what I want to pursue for my future career. I know, a whole new province! That's dedication...But I still feel like I'm not moving fast enough and that I'm going backwards. It would be so much easier with the support of friends by my side. Going at this alone makes things *that* much harder to deal with.
My best friends [jen] recently moved back to Ontario. Which blows because she was my solid. We still keep in touch, texting battles and lurking on myspace n' such... but it's not enough. Maybe it's selfish of me to want that continuous shoulder to lean on. I just miss her bunches. I was even planning on getting a tattoo for her as soon as I can afford it.
This is a rough draft of me and her as mermaids. Needs to be polished... but this the general idea.

It really sucks, I know. But I'm sure you'll meet some killer new people where you're at and find your place there and eventually you think of it as home. It just takes some time and it's cool that you're still able to keep in contact with your friends back home. I really hope things look up for you and everything!
Oh, and that's a very cool tattoo! I'm all about the ink! Where are you planning on getting it?!
Oh, and in response to your previous comment, I seriously do need to get some blogging done! I used to write some pretty spiffy blogs on this one site that's no longer online and I kinda miss doing that and all the comments people used to leave me. Damn it! Time to stop being lazy!
