Goddammit I need my license already.

I'm in a really bad mood.

I have one friend come over and that's about it any more. That's not to say I don't have a few good friends (which is all I really need), but i never do anything with them! AHHHHHH!

Sorry to waste your time, just venting...

Once skool starts again I know i'll get more involved with my friends again. Problem with the summer is we all work at different times and when we are home at the same time we're to tired/lazy to do anything anyways. When skool starts and everybody quits their jobs things will pick up (for me astleast).

alienwho, you're damn right! But still. =\

Fortunately I'm going away for about 2 weeks on tuesday. Going to visit my sister and her fiancee (don't worry, I'll still be visiting AT...I'm taking apart my computer and taking it with me- LMAO! That's my carry on!) and I'm gonna have a blast. :)

Nonetheless, I wish I had done more with friends this summer.

I have the same problem too, because all my friends were either
a) in my neighborhood
b) from school
(school is not in my neighborhood)

Since I moved, and it's summer, I just chill out in front of the computer most of the times, except maybe once a week I go out to my old neighborhood. Depressing as sh!t.

Pretender i'm in the same boat as you. I moved at the beginning of the summer just a few miles away. I still go to the same school. But I can no longer just walk outside and go hang out with my friends. Instead I have to drive over there and stuff and you know it's just not the same. Totally sucks, heh this is the only reason why i want to go back to school, to freaking associate with my friends daily.

My area is too spread out...I can't even walk to a park to play basketball. I could walk to the school (I'm very close by)- but no one would be there to play.

Hell, there isn't even a park where I could play bball.

hell, I have to drive 20 minutes just to get to school, and almost all of my freinds live about 40 minutes away. Not only that, but my car (truck) gets 13 miles/gallon. Its not cheap, but I go hang out with them anyways.

On the other hand, theres this real cute girl that lives only about 15 minutes away...:)

Getting my license in late Sept/October (waiting for my MV285 form from drivers ed so I can get a road test time) then I can go have some more fun. :)

Viper, my grandmother just gave me $300 for gas money...she's loaded...and gives me money at any available moment. :eek: Actually both grandparents do...

I don't have a car either, so I'll use my mom's (she doesn't go out all thaaaat much so I will be sharing it with her) and I'm sure she'll pay for gas. :p

Hopefully I'll get my own car (with my own money) when I am a senior in HS.

My car gets about 24mpg which isn't bad. But I prefer to ride my motorcycle that's $5/100miles.

I don't even have a car nor a license. I have to take the subway, which takes forever to get anywhere, and is much less fun than driving.

i dont know, the scary thing is this for me. My old friends from high school are all nearby, but i think i'm drifting away from some of them, plus some of them are at internships. So like hanging out with my old friends just isnt as fun. Hell i even have my own car now and i still cant find anything to do. I have traveled all around the south bay looking for stuff to do with some of my friends, but we just talk online now.


My friends from college are too far away and well summer is just not what it was when i was 10 or something. Ahh the good old days, i could just play with water guns all day and eat and be happy

I have a car & a license and it's still kinda hard to arrange things during summer. People work, people go to summer classes, people are grounded, people have curfews .. etc etc. Kinda makes me want school to start (1week) but I know I'll have a diff opinion once it does.

Oh and I goto a private highschool so my friends are all over the bay area.
