As mentioned earlier, its not the location. No matter where I moved to in Texas, I'd still be an 18 year old with no friends because I didn't go to high school here, I would still be working a shitty paying job that costs me more money for the commute to and from work than I actually make in a shift (I'm LOSING money going to work. Wtf is that all about?), I'm not used to the climate or the culture, my neighbor with an 02 Firehawk is a flaming racist with his house and vehicles (sans the hawk) plastered in confederate flags and other racial slurs, my summer is looking pretty bleak and my dream of 8 years of wanting a Procharged black 98+ Trans Am also looks like it will be going nowhere as well
Yup. **** this place

I was born in Tulsa and grew up for the first 1/2 of my life in Sand Springs. From then on I was a CA boy.

J/k - although Haltom City is not exactly what I would call the best place in the metroplex to meet cool people. Where do you work?

Not sure how to meet ANYBODY, it's hard to make friends in community college, everyone just shows up, gets in, gets out, and leaves. Not like high school or universities
I work at a restaurant in Ft. Worth called Charleston's. TCU's coach Gary Patterson came in the other day and I spilled coffee and food all over him Let's just say I'm not going out for the team next year
I know a black guy with the Confederate flag tattooed on his arm. Gotta love Texas. I will say that there are still some ignorant pukes in the smaller towns who still harp on race, but I have run into a lot more up north than I have down here. It's a stereotype that the typical Texas "redneck" spends his off time hanging blacks and shooting at Mexicans by the Lowes parking lot.
I don't think most Texans are like that, just my neighbor with his long black white supremacy beard 
Can't lie, his silver Firehawk is nice though 
Man if I could just find a way to make some decent money down here and can snag/build a black procharged trans am with under 100k miles, I'll be stoked, won't need friends, I'll just have conversations with my Procharger. Unlike women, I enjoy hearing a Procharger scream at me

Most ppl graduate and most of their high school friends are still around to hang out with. I moved 3 days after graduation to here, was here for 2.5 weeks, went back to CA on my own, lingered for 6 months and now I'm back here again I didn't grow up with anybody here, I didn't go to school here, and I can't just randomly walk up to someone who looks my age and be like "Hey man, I'm new here. Let's hang out! Be my friend!" Starting community college next month here is my best hope 
All my friends in universities are having the time of their lives, when I was supporting myself in CA for the second half of 2010 by working all day during the day and all night at night and going to college 5 times a week full time and working my *** off, friends were partying in their dorms or clubbing in the towns and having the best days of their lives. I want in on that ****, but now I'm even farther than I was before. I should probably stop bitching, but it's just frustrating you know? My goals are a little lofty (I think?) but something tells me it's achievable, I've seen guys my age pull it off before. Before I get back to CA in August 2012 (~1.5 years) I would like to have sold my current v6 bird and be sporting a Procharged black TA, possibly a GSXR 600 for gas and as a DD, and I'd like to have a bit of money to start me off with for living costs in CA, since I struck up a deal with my parents that if I can pay for most or all of my living costs, they'll pay for university. Gonna work my *** off in school the next year and try to get scholarships as well. If I could make $30k in the next 18 months, I'd be ******* psyched. Just need to figure it out, so I guess having no friends to distract me is sort of a blessing in disguide

I have social skills. I was voted funniest of my Senior class when I graduated high school last year, everyone who was in 10th grade+ knew me and loved me, and I was well liked and respected. Now high school is over and it's gone Most ppl graduate and most of their high school friends are still around to hang out with. I moved 3 days after graduation to here, was here for 2.5 weeks, went back to CA on my own, lingered for 6 months and now I'm back here again I didn't grow up with anybody here, I didn't go to school here, and I can't just randomly walk up to someone who looks my age and be like "Hey man, I'm new here.

Problem is I won't be going to a university till Fall of 2012, and that will be back in California so it won't matter than anyways All my friends in universities are having the time of their lives, when I was supporting myself in CA for the second half of 2010 by working all day during the day and all night at night and going to college 5 times a week full time and working my *** off, friends were partying in their dorms or clubbing in the towns and having the best days of their lives.

Work day and night. I worked 60 hrs a week in college, and also pulled in 2 degrees.
You can party anytime you want. You gotta decide what you want, like someone else here said, bitches, cars or education... pick 2 of the 3.
Personally I hated CA. It's not worth the $ you pay to go there. Sorry, don't feel like dropping 2k a month for a 1000 sq ft **** hole. Each to there own. You just need to go out and meet people if you want friends, or go out to the car shows... I would think since your in the service industry you'd have tons of friends. I know my best friends were my regulars and people I took care of every night and I still keep in touch. My wife still works in the industry and she has lots of friends from work....
Good luck what ever you decide on.
Oh yeah and if you sit down and do the math you really don't save **** with a 600 as a DD when you factor in the price tag of buying it, then insurance (u need full coverage unless you pay cash for it, then your an idiot not to since if you wreck it and you will they are normally totalled), tag, tax and then wear and tear. 600's will get decent mpg yes I agree, but only when you baby it, and will you really baby it? It will take you quite a few years to make up for the gas savings, might as well just get your TA Procharged like you want it and then drive it... but that's just me. If your really trying to save money for gas get a late 90's toyota or honda that still gets 40 mpg and you can pay cash for it for like 2 grand.... you will really save that way. I drove the crap out of a 92 corolla in CA and it got 40+ mpg. Driving it for work is how I paid for my z06 lol.

Its tough man but believe me, I spent my first 3 months in OKC feeling sorry for myself and doing nothing but sitting in my apartment on the computer. Dont let the drearyness of haltom ruin your experience of texas. Im still trying to get my *** back down there lol.
Btw, to get back on topic, the reason im in the texas section is I lived in flower mound from 97-03 and was in the graduating class of FMHS in 03.

Lee's bio: "The Federal authorities offered Lee the command of the field army about to invade the South, which he refused. Resigning his commission, he made his way to Richmond, VA and was at once made a major-general in the Virginian forces. A few weeks later he became a brigadier-general in the Confederate service."

Because we like seeing your Texas women
If I had a choice I would live in TX, you guys are the last frontier
for real cars and being able to drive them.
Out by me it's all about how much the law can get out of you and
you would get pulled over for the stupidiest things.
