wanna be

I wish I was the type of person who took risks. I wish other people would take risks. Not the "let me drive at insane speeds on the highway" risks, just, I dunno. "let me drop everything to go on a cross country roadtrip" sort of risk, I suppose. "let me quit this crappy job in order to pursue my dream of owning a llama farm." "Let me make a low ( Read more... )

I most definitely in anytime you want to go on a cross-country road trip!!

...I just have to have a rich relative who I didn't know existed die first so we can pay for it. My friends and I tried to go cross country...in the end all we could afford was going to Washington, DC. It was fun, though!

Yay car trips!

Yes!! Complete with wrong turns and being lost in the desert! We should steal my dad's Prius since it has good gas mileage.

It wouldn't be a car trip without getting lost in a desert at *least* once!!

Yes, steal the prius! Yay for good gas mileage since gas is getting really expensive again.

There needs to be an Elvis impersonator in there somewhere.

He doesn't need it! He can take the Civic.

I do think 'let me' is the right verb... thing. The only problem I see with being a risk taker is that we think about the consequences to our actions. You bet that if I had some money, I'd throw everything down on one big dream and run off to do it (not without notifying you, and it'd probably sound like "When I make it big, I'll be back"). But we think too much for it.

But, if you ever get a spontaneous wish and I can help you fulfill it, I'll do everything in my power to accompany you on your 'mission' if you so wish. And I just need to get a car, and road trips might become a regular thing... if that's cool with you. Hell, I've got what I consider one hell of a risk already in mind... but I fear the outcome too much. Bah.

Yeah, consequences suck. But where would we be without consquences is the question.

ROADTRIP! Ok, so. One summer I'm going to gather up you and Sam and Elisa and anyone else who'd like to go and we'll pile into a car and travel the world! Or maybe just the US. You know, my aunt drove from Alaska to Mexico in a winnebego once.

Ok, now you have me deathly curious. What would such a risk entail?
