cali dreams tarnished?
Not for me. I am a determined person. Even if i have to go alone and stay in a tent somewhere in tent city Sacramento, I would do it.
I'm kind of glad to see my friends out and about doing adventure type things.
i'm saving what I can, selling things I can't. And maybe it will all work out? I am having a yard sale on the same day I'm going to an artist reception for my work. Oh how I love saying that. "Artist reception for my work".. I know from time to time that I am okay loosing most possessions I have, as I have been prepared to do since I was a child. I used to sit and think of how i would escape my house in a very short time if I had to, and what I would take.
As for nerdy-ness, I am really liking this chapter in my Landform Processes class. We are discussing the different theories on how the NC Mountain, Piedmont and Coastal formations occurred. I was actually wondering about that a lot recently. And also the rise and fall of the actual Sea Level in correlation to Base level and how that effects changes in landform erosion... Very interesting stuff, really.
Friday I may go downtown to see a few "First Friday" gallery openings and receptions. Saturday I am free till 5:30pm and I am doing Birthday Stuff with Tal. He's turning.. what.. 24 I think. Sunday, again, nothing. I may have to work on my art project on one of those days, though. Assuming I can get in the building.
I hate that i say "i" so often.
Blah blah blah.
If I had to go to Cali alone, would anyone care to join me? This trip may involve Tenting/Camping, hitch-hiking (with an internet resource), Couch Hopping, viewing art exhibits (a bit), site seeing (for as cheap as possible), a 50$ ticket to Disneyland, 99$ + tax for return bus, about 220$ ish for train ride (unless someone is willing to drive and split gas costs. I don't have my license or a car), and probably less than 100$ for other expenses. and availability from July 26/27 -> August 23ish.
perks - Really cheap Disney 1 park, 1 day ticket, total of about 450$ of expenses, an awesome trip
cons- tenting, eating cheap food (dry foods, carrots, nuts, and other cheap, healthy bulk foods), a bit of roughin-it, a whole month in cali and a long trip out (4 days most times.)
I am not staying in a hotel unless it's free. so don't bring valuables unless you plan on storing them in your car. I am willing to sleep in a car to save the money. Also I am planning on buying a tent and a large water jug.
If more than one person wants to go, that's cool too. Sadly, I can only do the 50$ disney ticket for one person. if we added more people we'd have to either split the cost of more tickets amongst all of us, or each person will be paying for themselves (if anyone has an august birthday before the departure date, they could go to disney for free as well, but it would have to be on a different date (unless it happened to also be aug 18). Or if anyone has friends or family in the area, they may be able to get cheap tickets that way as well...)
Yes, this is a very well considered trip. But there is also a lot of room for deviations. If anyone is interested, I can give more details.
In my opinion, the more the merrier. and I'm going regardless.
but seriously, any one that wants to go, can. If anyone has any other ideas, pit stops, friend/family that can help, site seeing ideas (thoughts include Salt Lake city, UT, Grand Canyon, even out to Boston, MA is a thought... seriously.) I am very flexable on this. and determined to do it on the cheep. Please let me know, I'd love company. and I'd love to go with people as excited about it as me! or as willing.
