Homesick Blues

jenga66 · 10-18-2007, 01:48 AM

I'm 22, I'm from California, and I moved to Pennsylvania. It's been a month already and I still miss home (friends, family...I guess it's a given).

Anyone ever move across the country from their hometown? How did you feel?

That doesn't sound like such a bad idea

jenga66 · 10-18-2007, 02:02 AM

Well you're the first teacher I've ever met that likes Godsmack.lol

aurel · 10-18-2007, 11:07 AM

Sounds like an activity someone in PA would enjoy.

are they subterranean?

duovamp · 10-18-2007, 02:21 PM

Pennsylvanians? Almost certainly yes.

ravenguy2000 · 10-18-2007, 02:43 PM

5 years and I've felt the pangs of homesickness maybe thrice. And it never lasted more than 5 minutes.

Trotskilicious · 10-18-2007, 02:45 PM

yeah i moved to san antonio, not across the country but i don't really ever feel homesick.

I'm Hardcore · 10-18-2007, 02:46 PM

i'll bet you feel manly and macho now, Jenga

jenga66 · 10-18-2007, 09:27 PM

Not particularly, but thanks.

It has nothing to do with "growing balls" or "manning up". I was just so set in my ways in Los Angeles. I don't get to see whoever I want to see, or go the places I wanted to go. I left to get away from everything, but those are the details you tend to overlook when you move.

Yeah, pangs of homesickness usually don't last for me too long either. Just when something is significantly different like the job or people I come across. At the end of the day, I'm glad I'm here.

Although I've never moved across the country, I'm from California myself and we've been contemplating moving to an inland state after we graduate college and just the thought of it can seem exciting yet terrifying. Living in California is fantastic and it'd be weird to not be more than a few hours away from the ocean (or five minutes, in my case).

Though I do agree that some degree of it does have to deal with "sacking up." That's probably not the best term for it, but it's only been a month, man! Relax.

Travis Meeks · 10-18-2007, 09:36 PM

I like Pittsburgh and have lots of friends there. What part of Pittsburgh do you live in?

jenga66 · 10-18-2007, 09:39 PM

Carnegie. The only friends I've made are guys I'm putting a band together with.

You?

Travis Meeks · 10-18-2007, 09:47 PM

Well I don't live there but I often visit. Most of my friends now in the suburbs round Monroeville, Penn Hills, Delmont....
