There aren't any gaming stores within a straightforward journey of where I am either, but the Internet is a great place to find stuff.
Don't be afraid to give roleplaying a try. I am still playing with the group I first joined nearly twenty years ago, when I was the youngest member. The group has changed a bit since then, as people moved away or came to the area, but the ones who have moved away are still in touch and every once in a while we still get a game together.
Whether you prefer to be a GM or a player is very much up to you, and you don't necessarily need to be right on top of the rules to play - a good GM will be happy to tell you what to do until you're used to it. Although I have dabbled a bit in GMing, I am a player by preference and often need reminded of rules even now...
