I know what you mean about all the rich, vapid shits. I come from a super-wealthy suburb in Texas, so it's a particular brand of rich and vapid (think half redneck, half Donald Trump), but I am so fucking tired of it. Everyone here is obsessed with all the money they have and it's goddamn useless. I can't wait for college so I can get the hell out of here-- and out of Texas. Anyway, before this turns into a fuck-Texas rant, I'm glad you got out of there. Hope all goes well in DC. PS The paragraph from "I've never been as good" to "shitty childhoods and that shithole"? I feel ya on that too.
Nice! I might stay here in Ireland, because I'll most definitely do something programming/IT related and currently this isn't a bad spot for that sort of thing, plus I'd rather avoid the US government with recent news. I also plan on not going to college because my family isn't very wealthy, and most IT skills can be learned on your own(I'm making an engine in shameful face java)
