Yeah. That sounds about right.

Date: 2007-03-19 01:55 pm (UTC)I wanted out of Aiken pretty much after I was 12. There was not a lot there and while I was okay with it at the time, I wanted to see the world. I didn't expect to stick around. I mean, the population is about the same as Tech. Not B'burg, tech.
The thing that actually got me out was the Church. On my 20th birthday I moved with 3 other guys to Columbia, SC to go to an Angilcan (sort of conservative Episcopal) church there. I'd converted not too long before and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
But conversion or no conversion, I wasn't going to live and die in that town without getting out. It's unlikely I'll live there again, but I'm not going to tempt fate by saying it would be impossible.
Peace.
