No. I've always hated Orlando, always talked about leaving, even drove across the country and back last summer in an attempt to do it and I pussed out. Right now I think this is good for me, and I'm trying to stick to my word. It's really hard, but I just need to get the hell out of Florida. You have no idea, this state is like a black hole... once you're here, you never leave.
Nah I know what it's like (probebly differnt reasons though). I'm from a small town (Wick) in the very very far north of Scotland.
Got away from it for uni. But I've got a job up there that I'm going to be back for.
And it would be so easy to sink into the routine, just accept it and end up living there for the rest of my life.
I'm seriously thinking about going into the forces or something after a few years of it (just to get experiance). But I really really don't want to live there till the end of my days.

I've been in Florida for too long, and all I can associate it with is bad memories. Really I need a fresh new start, where no one will know me or my past or anything. In Orlando, it doesn't matter where I go, I'll run into someone that I know, and I hate that. And I think there's something seriously wrong with the people here, they're all fucked in the head.
I get like that everywhere I go. I hate it where I'm from (an ex coal mining village/small town in South Yorkshire and its just full of people with that kind of mentality. It'd be ok if I lived in Sheffield (a city) Then I went to Liverpool for uni and that was cool but still had its problems (ie scousers!!) Now I'm in Leeds as went back to uni and its cool but I finished now and have to get a job! I've promised myself that I would never go back to where I'm from (unless I lived in Sheffield) and am thinkin bout joinin the air force too (must be the first thing that comes into somebodies head when they wanna get away from everythin!!) Thing is...everywhere you go is good at the start, then you get pissed (drunk) and do summat daft an embarassin and then you wanna go move some place else!

That sounds eerily similar to the reason I'm in Florida to begin with, but all I've found so far is one small piece of wisdom: a long walk heals no scars. No matter where I go, everything is the same at the bottom of it all. There is no redemption, no respite, and no escape from my past, following me like a twisted shadow or an incurable plague. And with each step I take away from it, I just as quickly pollute that much more space. Indelibly, my past is a fundamental part of me - and the more I hate my past, the more I hate myself.
I do most sincerely hope that your problems are so easily solved, but I must admit that I would be terribly jealous.

Yea, its major popular! It gets about 100,000 hits a day.
I dunno why
OK no seriously, what do you want? An "under construction" page there that is for 100+ years? Its a place holder (but I dunno whatfor), the domain contains other nifty tools and hidden files in back directories which only me and whoever I want knows about it.
Plus who has time to maintain a website these days with all these PDD chillout discussions!?

So this guy walks into a bar..
A neutron walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender sets the beer down and says, "For you, no charge!"
A pig goes into a bar and orders ten drinks. He finishes them up and the bartender says, "Don't you need to know where the bathroom is?" The pig says, "No, I go wee wee all the way home."
A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says, "A beer please, and one for the road."
A penguin walks into a bar, goes to the counter, and asks the bartender, "Have you seen my brother?" The bartender asks, "I don't know, what does he look like?"
A kangaroo walks into a bar. He orders a beer. The bartender says, "That'll be $10. You know, we don't get many kangaroos coming in here". "Well", says the kangaroo, "at $10 a beer, it's not hard to understand."
A hamburger walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve food in here."

I don't hate my past so much as I would just like to start over. Do you understand?

Perhaps not. To some extent I guess it depends on what exactly you want to "start over" with regard to. Obviously moving can give you a chance to make different friends, or change your job or various things about where you live. But really those are superficial things - and problems with them often indicate a greater underlying problem. A change of scenery can be nice for a while, but if there's a more fundamental issue at hand many of the same problems will just re-develop.
Also, if you think physical distance is going to help you get away from bad memories, I'm afriad you may be in for a bad surprise. At least, that's my experience. But my experiences are also an extreme example, so it's possible that you'll have more success.
I don't want to discourage you from anything, because usually the worst thing you can do is just feel sorry for yourself and not try to change anything at all. But everything you've said leads me to believe that the cause of your discontent may be too complicated for a simple thing like moving to solve.
Of course, I don't know you or what's going on in your life well enough to give any specific advice, all I meant to suggest was that I think you ought to take a closer look at your situation to make sure you're doing everything you need to do to make yourself happy.
