Lonely

My hometown is a lonely place. After 7 1/2 years of higher education I do not mesh well here. I promised myself once I got my first place that I would never move back in with my mother, clearly I had to eat those words b/c that is exactly where I am. I don't have any friends here b/c I haven't really hung out with anybody in forever. I guess I am so used to being around my undergrad, grad and sorority friends. There is nothing to do here either. I miss my friends. I try to hang out with them regularly but then I feel like I am bothering them b/c I have to spend the night with them. I just really need my own space that is not in my hometown. I want to leave home but I haven't been lucky in the job market.
