Like saying you grew out of CONVERSE/VANS I don't where them but they're popular among people my age still and grew out of it sounds like something really weird for someone who's only like 4/5 years older than me.

Go play outside now Alec the grown ups are trying to have a conversation

Yeah that's true its a long time but it doesn't seem like it. Basically what I'm saying is I'm reminded how long 4 years is and I'm like holy shit. My sense of time is kind of skewed because my mom is 35 and she looks like she could be in her twenties so ill often see someone who's 6 years older than me and think they're my moms age

S..someone said...B..boat..?

Annnyway. Wharfs smell. Bad. See, with a van, I could buy tons of air freshener. No amount of glade in the world would be able to make our piers smell liveable. So, boat idea is bad.

ahaha were you that guy who wore his jacket all the time?  in the spring, in class, everywhere.  were you jacketguy.  thats not as bad as trenchcoat guy but thats probably the worst you could be, to be fair.  imagine being defined by your coat.  this guy walked into my english class wearing a fucking trenchcoat in september and i almost laughed but didnt.  the last time i saw him he was in 9th grade and i was in 12th and he was reading a pamphlet about mobile gundam g or whatever the fuck.  time....*smirks* time makes fools of us all

Heh -- I was jacketguy in middle school. I wore this crusty old military jacket EVERY day, even if it was 100+ degrees out. Eventually the armsleeves started to fray off and I looked like a hobo. I TOOK 2 OF MY MIDDLE SCHOOL PICTURES IN THIS JACKET. *2*! The second time the cameraman told me to take the jacket off. I was like "Dude. This is my legacy." "Really? That's pretty sad man." So yeah, I pretty much stopped wearing jackets afterward. That said, I was also the smelly kid. :3

BACK TO CAMPER VANS: the bedford rascal / suzuki supercarry is perfect for your needs. enjoy not getting any though

Grandmother passed away recently, so we all got together at my uncle's place to mourn. Thing is, my uncle doesn't really have a *place* as much as he does an outhouse and an RV camper. Flies -- everywhere. And even though I often brag about SoCal weather, he lives more inland in the desert where it gets fricking hot midday and fricking cold at night. Seeing as how my brothers called dibs on sleeping in the car, I got to sleep in his old camper shell. He lived in this thing for 3 years before he got the RV. It actually looks like he did pretty well, considering where he was living. And the thing isn't in bad condition. Hmm...

As great an idea as it was, nahh. There really aren't very many places for me to park, and even if I were to switch it up it wouldn't work out for longer than maybe a month. For shits and giggles though, maybe over the summer. Post link anyway!

Why don't you share a one bedroom apartment with somebody and split the rent? You would have to sleep in the living room and have very little privacy but its better than living in a van. Or find someone renting out a basement because those are pretty cheap. My cousin used to live in a basement for $200 a month but it floods sometimes when it rains so he moved out.
