With great boredom comes great responsibility.

Sike! Today's opposite day, suckers! It's really November 16th, 2005 A.D. Way to fall for my prank!
I'm skipping my COLLEGE class today. I didn't feel like walking in one minute late and having to take a seat that isn't the one I've been sitting at for the past two semesters. The class is a small one -- twelve people -- and we all sit around two rectangular tables that are pushed together end to end, making one really long rectangle. I always sit at the head of the table, much like Papa Student would if such a person existed. But rather than face the horrors of sitting someplace other than ground zero I decided to hightail it to the computer lab instead.
"Oh, thanks for that riveting tale, Paul." No problem, hottie.
I've been thinking lately... I really, really want to go another cross-country road trip. I've been on 3 1/2 such trips over the past four years. In 2001 I traveled up into the Northwest, a little bit into California, and through parts of the Southwest. To date, that trip represents the best 3 1/2 weeks of my life. It was a solo venture (as all of my trips have been) so it was very much a scary/exhilarating new experience for me. I can pretty much remember every detail of all twenty-odd days. Even the hours upon hours of mind numbing Interstate travel are still very clear in my mind. I kept a travel journal through most of the trip, but sadly I lost it (and all the photos I took) when the hard drive on my old laptop went, "I hate you! CRASH on this!" I've been thinking about re-chronicling that trip, but I haven't felt very motivated to do so. In an attempt to create that much needed motivation, I ask the following: would anybody be interested in hearing about my adventure(s)? I think I'd pretty much just start the tale from Night One and go from there, posting one day's recollections at a time. If I get enough interested replies then I think that would light the fires of my motivation. Or if I get one extremely, psychotically enthusiastic reply then that would do the trick as well.
Oh, yeah... my original point is that up until this year I've been going on trips pretty much yearly since 2000. That year I spent three weeks in Hawaii; 2001 I spent traveling in the Northwest; 2002 I spent 1 1/2 weeks traveling towards a horror convention in Baltimore; 2003 I spent a month traveling across the Midwest and parts of the South, and 2004 I went kaput. So, crap, I guess this is the second year in a row that I haven't traveled. In conclusion, I am now taking offers for somebody to A) travel with me somewhere great, B) finance most of my trip, and C) provide the transportation. I am well-mannered, funny, an experienced car-napper, and great with an Atlas. You'd be foolish to pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
