I live life outside of the norm. I am quite unpredictable, and do really stupid things like rolling in wet grass in the rain, or making rude jokes/comments at the most innapropriate times. If you still haven't labeled me as a wierdo, please read on.

In just over a month I'll be finishing school forever. Greatest day of my life! After that I plan to work my *** off all summer and get a heap of money. Then I'll pull out all the seats in my car except the drivers seat, put in a mattress, a box of clothes, a power pack, water and food, and my laptop and heaps of paper, and go wherever I feel like. And when I reach an intersection, I'll take the road less travelled.

I'll live like that for as long as I can afford, writing, drivng and buying more supplies if need be. Who knows where I'll end up. That's the brilliant thing about it don't ya think.

When I run out of money, I'll come home and earn some more. Catch up with the family while I'm at it. Send off my manuscript to a publisher if I've finished it by then. Hopefully I'll soon be able to live off the money I make from my writing. Then I won't have to work. But I don't plan to settle down. I'll get a bigger car - because it'll probably be a little cramped in my Suzuki Sierra. Marriage? Never! Just an obligation to keep me from freedom. I'm quite happy to not see another human for months on end.

All that stands between me and there is three weeks of school, and two sets of exams. And some damn x-box Halo 3 party thing I'm supposed to go to. I honestly couldn't think of a worse way to spend my time.
Q: Where do you go to buy shoes?

You'd be surprised how much your mindset can change in just a few years. I was saying this same thing two years ago, and now I'm practically engaged. ;)

Anyway, nice to meet you.
How am I not myself?

Sweet plan. Ever read Into The Wild?
I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong... but to feel strong.

I haven't read it, but the movie version is one of my favourite movies. I'll be sure to avoid eating plants I find. I don't think I'll be as "wild" as he was. I'll still buy food rather than find my own. And I'll still have a computer and car and internet. I just want a little solitude and adventure.

What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god -- the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!
