Discussion Canister > Homecomings...
So, I just finished reading 79.(Sorry, not gonna do latin). And, I have to say as a short time reader, first time commenter, it really hit home. I was so homesick the first year of college that I transferred back, and then when I got back, I was very unhappy about how things turned out because I missed my new friends. I just wanted to let the author know that he really captured how things happen sometimes.

You, know, this post also rang true with me. I thought that for a change the author had something we can all relate to. I know I for one never take rides from the police. But yeah, it was some good stuuf.

Boyz, boyz. I think its charming that the author gets into these type of things that most people dont do. But I think ppl have talked about that before. I thoguht what he was talking about was still neat as others have said because it does deal with something a bit more firm.

Man, that part about the posters is so real. I came home from my first year to find out my collection of absolut ads that festooned my walls had met the trash - I was so mad! It's a painful place to be in to see that your room isn't yours!

Nothing like that for me. My sister just took it over and there was no way to get it back. FUnnily enough, I had sleep in her old room which was basically the junk room!

That's not really funny. It's kind of sad.

I laugh at all of the above.
My parents moved away and tossed all of my remaining stuff at home. Now that is pain!

I generally liked the mood evoked. Some pieces I've found more well written, but this one was down to earth gritty, really conveyed the disappointment of someone coming home to well, nothing.

Yeah, definately got in my head, especially those bits about "forgettn frustrations". I think sometimes we tend to romanticize things, and then when its there in our faces, we remember - there realy wasn't anything great about those times.

Better yet, with parents, there's always frustrations whenever.

Hey you snooty people: don't you realize that a lot of people would come back and say "there's always frustration with kids"!!

Yah, we're a bunch of sassy whipper-snappers.
But the above post has its merits. There's always frustration on both sides.
