Well, I can't say I don't sympathize. When I was in school, I seemed to be made of bullshit, and I basically wrote the same paper over and over and over. Now, (along with the majority of my artistic drive), I seem to have lost my talent for even that, and am reduced to "I liked it" for just about everything ( ... )

I actually applied to... I think it was Northwest Airlines, to be a luggage handler. They kept giving me the runaround "Call us!" "We'll call you!" "We'll never actually get down to business and talk about hiring you!", so I gave up on that and called it a relief for my upper body. Too bad- I could have gotten a free plane ticket.

I've considered doing WWOOF (worldwide organic... ox farming)- they give you free room, board, food, whatever in exchange for working on a hippy dippy farm. You choose how long you want to work, and they have farms all over the world, so I could country-hop that way. And from what I hear, there is some time to get out and do things besides farming.

I have a bugproof hammock (with a rain canopy) and a backpack, and it's not beneath me to dumpster dive or hitchhike, so really I have all I need in life. I just need to get going!
