TET: May - Mexico, Mothers, Memorials

[Pax Nerdvana]

At last, my first final is done. Now to unwind for a bit, and then start studying for my next final.

How difficult was it?

[Auremena]

No, I wanted to have a walk in the park with my paramour after work cause I was working near his place and it was a nice day (at least in the morning) and we could have found a place to hide away from the world, just us two.
Alas, there's supposed to be gross weather coming up so he had outdoor stuff to do about the house beforehand.

Well, I feel for you (the one I love is at a street arts festival on the other side of the continent).

I shall take a moment to heap some angry regard on climate change deniers, who are now interfering with Love itself!

Well not terribly dissimilar, I hung out with him while he was busking the other day, sang along at certain bits, grabbed us sandwiches, later that night I had a spontaneous poetry reading on the sidewalk... Yeah, street arts are pretty cool.

Wew, theatrical prose levels of honeymoon period adoration. Well for some.

I wouldn't say honeymoon period; we've know eachother some time and knew there was some feelings going on and it's kinda slipped into this recently... I definitely approve of course.

Now now, infatuation is a beautiful thing. They have not reached the stage of hallway sex yet.

One of my favorites is when you wind up trying to do it in cars that you know spatially will not be comfortable to have sex in but you do it, you find Lovecraftian geometries of madness and passion, because you want one another so bad that you find a way, even if you're Euclid gets jabbed with a gearshift.

Or a parking brake.

Cope? It was one of the advantages of the thing.

I wanted to live in a van once. I've done an RV, it wasn't bad. Something about a van, though.

Sure has to be easier than a sedan.
I could deal with a van though. Least that's enough space to stretch out.

Old vans were fun. A then gf and I took one across country and back after graduating college. Most fun I have ever had.

Aye, properly set up, they can be quite livable for those suited. I've seen sites where "Rubbertrampers" (not always vans but often) trade information about it.

Once an old guy who owned a VHS rental store in the 1980's told me the solution to my problems would be to "Find a girl and live in a van with her". He really seemed to believe it worked.

Of course, the barrier is "finding someone who wants to live in a van, with me". Seems like that would be almost astronomically difficult to find, albeit I suppose not impossible.

I want to do a roadtrip like that sometime with some friends or relatives or whatever.

Was it one of the old VW hippie vans? Or one of those great vast domestic vans that had almost as much space as a New York apartment?

I'd go with the latter. Don't want a hippie van.

I'd want to travel in a fried-out combi, I'd travel down hippie trails with a head full of zombie. Maybe I'd meet a strange lady, although she'd probably make me nervous. Then she'd take me in and make me breakfast.

The latter, I don't remember which domestic van, but it was a big old v-8

Fried-out? That's a performance customization, or some kind of aesthetic of paint? It sounds cool.

I've never been to a land down under. Although the men of my culture seem inclined to plunder, so it may not be all that different.

*facepalm* Why are you thinking about this?

I don't know you so I wouldn't live in a van with you, but with the SO... Yeah we'd have so much fun.

I had my car set up to do well living in it. Then I went looking for something and it became a mess. But there are systems, like piss jugs, using 2L bottles as sinks, little quirks in any abode that you have to account for. Some dwellings are mobile, however.

How 'bout a tiny house?

Ideological. I'm not a hippie.

In its day, the vw microbus was easy to fix, cheap to run and reliable. It wasn't fast, but they worked.

You don't want to drive it if it's fried out.

Or a little studio, ayep, you can make things work.
Or at least I can. Even if I had to share them with him.
Then again it is nice to have one's own space.

I do think a second bedroom can help, for cloistering or what not. Being around one another all the time could be taxing, there may be something to having another room where the other could go read a book or just be happily alone or conduct dark arcane rites over the mystically lacerated quivering flesh of their sacrifices.

I don't think the astro had a v-8

These days, it would probably be hard to even find parts.
