So anyway, yea, I mean there are so many jobs here really, if youre willing to work you wont be poor in any way. It was remarkably easy to get into the position Im in now.

I want to live in Washington, but it'd be quite difficult to move cross-country, even after I finish up university in a year or two. There is a specific part of Washington I have my sights set on, but it just seems unrealistic to move there without bringing anything with me (as in, purchasing all-new stuff for my house/apartment, unless the house magically comes furnished with everything).

[QUOTE=LittlePound]though i can understand one being cautious with his money, i would also be cautious with statements that involve "never".
See...cuz now you made me wonder how are you ever going to pay for your engagement ring. Monthly payments?[/QUOTE]

Ummm...it appears that its actually not difficult to move cross country at all, if an 18 year old with little sense can pull it off. If you have the money to get a house/apartment here, then Im sure you have the money to furnish it.

Washington, DC or Washington state?

I don't plan on getting married. It's a mindless waste of money because, anymore, a large majority of marriages end in divorce anyway. What's the point? Marriage doesn't mean what it used to anymore. It's a very pointless expense.

However, all you did was go cross-country in your car, while staying at Tess's or Kimmie's or hotels/your car. Either way, it's a hassle - is buying all-new stuff for the house/apartment cheaper or more expensive than flying all of my stuff there? I'm sure as hell not going to try to drive a U-Haul truck from here to there; plus, the area I want to live in Washington is inaccessible from the mainland, and I'm certain a U-Haul isn't going to fit on a ferry.

And plus, it'll have to come down to the job market there, and how easy/difficult it will be for me to get a job. I know you said that it was easy for you to get a job, but I would like to get a job where my degree can be put to use.

Thanks, though, for the tip.

Not to be an a[size=2]ss[/size], but you had it incredibly easy. You had shelter almost everywhere you went. If I were to up and move cross-country, I'd be sleeping in my car with practically no food and definitely no showers for the entire trip.

My friend liked this girl, but gave up on her. Would it be wrong to make any moves on her or anything? I don't want to piss of my pal, but this girl is pretty nifty. :/

If he has given up on her, go for it.

Well, I'm assuming he's given up on her. He never told me he liked her, but I could definitely tell he did, but now I'm just not getting that feeling, so I'm assuming he gave up. If he still likes her, that would be a big no-no. But then again, he's unaware that I even know he liked the girl.

Talk to him?

He wouldn't admit to it if I even asked him about her, lol. He's way too closed about things like that.

Nah dont do it, he'll say he's fine with it but deep down inside he will think you're a bastard. Just wait a little bit till he finds a new interest. :)

yeah I would say wait, my friend did that to me, but I got over it pretty quick.

How much do you like her?

[QUOTE=Iscariot]Not to be an a[size=2]ss[/size], but you had it incredibly easy. You had shelter almost everywhere you went. If I were to up and move cross-country, I'd be sleeping in my car with practically no food and definitely no showers for the entire trip.[/QUOTE]


Lol, thats not neccesarily true. I spent a third of the trip sleeping in my car, a third at kims, and the rest in hotels. Some areas it was simply too cold to sleep in (Texas and the like, it was snowing worse there than anywhere else I went in the country)

You gotta have money for food, yes, but thats about $150 for a month. Sleeping in a car isnt bad at all, it didnt bother me although I have a few stories about it that may not make it sound so fun. Showers are about $5 at truck stations, and if you go to the larger ones that they mark on the highway its very clean and nice, not at all disgusting. I did those every two days or so, it was completely worth it.

The trip wasnt exactly easy, there is a good chunk of it that no one knows about.

travelling in america is mad easy especially since you had a car

backpacking/hitchhiking across europe is much more difficult (especially in eastern europe/near the middle eastern border)

[QUOTE=Jom]Someone I used to talk to had this fling with a guy who was basically how you described: he traveled all over the world, but to do community service (he was an electrician, so he worked for groups like Habitat For Humanity... he doesn't work for a single company, he just kind of drifts from organization to organization... wherever life lands him, really).

He was basically a free spirit and a vagabond. The girl pressed him to be in a relationship but he was very against that because he said it was too 'conventional' and that he is 'anything but conventional.' Too bad for her, too, because she fell hard for the guy.

Anyway I don't think that there was much of a point in my story in response to what you said, but I'm glad that I said something helpful for you earlier. I could never be that adventurous in exploring the unknown... I mean, I love physical activity, but I could never just go to a different continent and climb a mountain just to say I did it, haha.[/QUOTE]

Is it okay for a 16 year old to go out with a 19 yr old?
Or is 3 years too big of an age gap?

Meh, I don't see a big deal in a 3 year age gap.

good, i just didn't want people to think i was a pedophile or anything.

I'd appreciate more opinions on this though.

Dude, I totally thought, for some retarded reason, that you were the 16 year old in that scenario.

Idk, some people might see it as odd in highschool, but once you're out it's less of an issue.

Yes. Im sure climbing a mountain drunk is even more difficult, what is your point?

Plus, he doesn't seem to give two sh[SIZE="2"]it[/SIZE]s about her now.

[QUOTE=Herbert_da_fish]How much do you like her?[/QUOTE]
Not much. I just know her decently, and I want to see how things could go with her.
