Life Is Not Purgatory

Homesickness
It's been three weeks since I started here, and a little more than that since I left town. There is very little to dislike about being here, and yet I still feel a little... hmm... hollow?
I'm getting along quite well with most of the people here, although I can't help but feel like an outsider. The rumour mill here works overtime and it doesn't help that I do not: drink, smoke, or pertake in recreational drugs.
I had my first day off in 19 days yesterday and worked on Purgatory turns, did laundry and watched some TV... I don't have another day off until next Thursday, and though I like the thought of driving up for BP's next week, I'd have to be back here by 1:00pm on Friday.
I miss my friends, I miss my girlfriend, I miss having people to talk to about things that matter to me. But, I'll cope. I have too.
