I enjoy the state of Texas ten times more than I’ve ever enjoyed Florida. Florida didn’t seem horrible growing up – I had a lot of friends, a lot of girlfriends, a lot of sex and drugs, but everything was so bad for me. I won’t blame the state, it was just the people I surrounded myself with.

In Houston, I have friends too, but there are much less. I don’t have random associates and acquaintances like I did back in the day. The people I know I think are actually my friends, not just people who have me around to benefit themselves. They’ve been much more supportive about my drug problem, about my personal issues than anyone else I’ve ever known in my life. They don’t encourage or egg on my bad behavior. They’re very supportive and push me to do the right thing. Back in Florida, I had a lot of enablers. Sadly, it makes me associate Florida with bad people and makes me not want to go back. I’m sorry, Floridians. It’s not all of you. But some of you know what group of people I’m talking about.

In other news, a giant chunk of me is hoping for some intense weather to blow through here so I can get out of taking this Eco class. If half of the work is done at home and all he does it lecture out of the book, why do I need to be there 8 hours a week? It’s killing my social life, dammit. Not to mention it’s been flooding all week, and I’ve had to find alternate routes so I won’t destroy my car. Driving through downtown with a bazillion one-way streets is a giant puzzle and a pain in the ass.

There’s a girl in my class who tries to talk to me about how much she dislikes the teacher, and how she’s OCD about bad grammar (I think she honestly thinks she’s OCD like everyone else who describes how much they hate certain things with a passion) and how the teacher has several grammar mistakes in his notes. He’s a tiny Indian guy. Who cares? It’s not an English class. You get the point of the lectures, right? You understand the terms, right? Get over it, and stop being so fucking angry for no reason. I seriously cannot stand people like this. He’s a good teacher. I feel sorry for her boyfriend.

Still crossing my fingers for bad weather.
