What is your favorite retreat from the world?
My favorite retreat isn't a place, it's more of a lack of place. My retreat of choice involves stepping outside of time. I've been leaving reality more and more as I've gotten older, as it's gotten more difficult to fit in. I would never want to live outside of time and the mundane, but it's nice to be able to get away from it and be myself without inspiring scorn or confusion. As often as I say I'd like to be normal, I would never voluntarily give up what I am. I rather like that I have a good many skills that make seclusion easy.
Perhaps being such a recluse isn't the best of ideas, though; it makes it difficult for me to be found if I am needed. Nevertheless, the few I would be needed by should be able to locate me, no matter where I disappear off to. I'm only difficult for the ordinary to find.

But hey, at least this topic gives me an excuse to use this icon. ^_^ ))
