( On the subject of the current plot in the Invincible Iron Man comic... )
But I also hate the art in Invincible Iron Man, so maybe I'm just taking it out on the comic for that.
Who knows!
We walked down to the Italian Festival last night. Mmmm, gyros. <3 So much better than the crap ones from the Greek Festival a few weeks back. So so so much better. We also stopped at the comic store and TJ picked up Iron Man Viva Las Vegas, which was a let down, apparently. Then, it started raining. Bastards. But we made it home before it got really bad, thankfully.
I'm working on cleaning today. The house is such a pigsty. D:
I've also come to the conclusion that I really do hate this town. Well, I hate the PEOPLE. It's such an uncultured pit of filth and stupidity it's not even funny. And it's not even just me being cranky because I've lived here all my life and just assume things are nicer elsewhere. No. It's because I've lived here all my life and I KNOW things are better elsewhere because I've BEEN elsewhere.
I miss Seattle like woah. I didn't think I would. I figured I'd just settle back in Warren like it was no issue. But no. Not at all. When I'm at work sometimes, I feel like I'm not in Warren anymore. At least, not until well after the store's open and all the retards make their way in.
It's just...so frustrating and sad.
However, my mom told me GM is hiring. Starting $23/hour. That's crazy good money. And they just added a third shift (and they're getting the Cruise), so it'd be eight hours and not twelve. And, yeah, it's in Lordstown, which is a bit of a trek, but not much farther than Target is right now. And an hour of work puts half a tank of gas in the car. Instead of three hours.
I'm thinking, if I can get in at GM, I can actually be able to save money. Then, we can move. Somewhere. Anywhere. Of our own accord.
But, as I mentioned to TJ, the prospect of getting in GM makes me feel like I'm going to be stuck here forever. Because that's what the people at GM do. They work there forever and they live in the area. They retire from GM with a nice pension, but they're still stuck here. I refuse to be stuck here for the rest of my life. I'm willing to live in Ohio, but not in the Warren/Niles/Youngstown area.
I'd love to go back to Seattle. But that's way out of my league unless a million dollars falls in my lap. TJ was suggesting maybe Pittsburgh. It's still close to home, family and friends. It's a larger city and nicer than Cleveland. It actually has a bit of culture and a pretty solid art scene. Plus, walking around like a weirdo doesn't get you strange looks since Anthrocon is held there.
PLUS, I wouldn't have to put out money for a hotel room for the convention! :D :D
But I really want to live somewhere where I can walk everywhere and there's SHIT TO DO. I need a big city. I want Seattle or New York, really. But I may just have to settle for what's readily available to me. Which is...Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
Unfair.
