i joined a traveling carnival when it came through town..i was eighteen and had just graduated high school.. it was fun. i traveled and met a lot of people. i joined the army after that and figured out pretty quick that wasnt for me. i meen if i want to get woke up every morning at 5:30 with someone yelling at me i will move back in with my mother...lol. she would yell too but at least she let me sleep till 8. i have left "home" many times only to be drawn back for one reason or another. i dont know if its any help but if you need someone to just chat with, drop me a line im usually on allll night..lol..
