Strong urges

I want to leave my office, cash in all my overtime, grab a bunch of people, and vanish for a week or so. Maybe a month. Drive out of Boston, up to Montreal or Toronto. Or west to Seattle or Los Angeles. Tour the rave circuits of nearby cities. Have some real life adventures, some exciting times.

The boredom isn't especially killing me, but I am suddenly restless.

Tang and I were actually discussing such a road trip. We were thinking Quebec since he has easy people up there that he knows :)

Adventures are fine as long as they are the fun kind. Seattle gets my vote.

hell yes.

I wish I could, but there's no way until next year. No money, and no real vacation time to spare. And I hate Quebec. Toronto is nice, so isn't Vancouver. And Halifax is amazing. There are many places on the Atlantic Coast that I haven't ever seen either...at least half of New England. as a matter of fact. I'd like to see my home area in total first, and then move on from there. *sigh* But not until I have the money... I hate money.

I wanna go to Vegas.

Actually pretty cheap.

Now I just need to kill off one of my co-workers so I can get a perm slot and vacation time.

Soon it will all be mine.

I'm still trying to find the time and money to head towards warmer climates (specifically ones with frosty fruity beverages that have little umbrellas in them).
Or maybe London.

Bah!
Doom says people with no money get no vote! They will go where the Silas commands and be happy sleeping in front of his hearth!

Not memories I look fondly upon.

Come to Seattle. I've got a couch, or at least a comfy floor.
