I could use a month or two in some small town in Italy. Not that I speak any Italian...

sometimes, when work and home are totally stressing me out, I think about getting a name change and going work on a pipeline in alaska or something without telling anyone :) just, you know, pack up my laptop and some clothes in my car and hit the highway.

6 months of night? that'd be kinda cool.

edit: typos abound.


sure would imagine it's the mindset of many people who are labelled 'serial' xyz

:confused:

I ran away from home,took off;when I was 16.

Hitchiking is not as easy as it was 30+ years ago.

It would be hard for me to do it competely, in real life. There are a few people I care about that I would not be willing to give up contact with.

I've been tempted to just wipe my hard drive without backing anything up, and just abandon my online identity, though...

It would be so easy for me. I'd probably do the same thing as you, either Alaska or maybe somewhere in the Caribbean. Gotta love extremes, right? ;)

I don't feel the need to drop off the face of the Earth. I just wish there was a nice legal way of making my senile old fart of a boss drop 6 feet into the Earth.

My way of dropping off? I'd buy a heavy bike, likely a BMW or Honda. I'd grab a pile of cash and get a boat over to france. It's the same land mass as china, so you could cruise and cruise for good....

He'd have to drink about a fifth of vodka while smoking crack to simulate the low IQ necessary for that.

The scary thing was some of the things he said were true.
