In the 90s I lived without power for 2 years, deep in the bush in Northern New South Wales. We still had a tape player that ran off batteries. It is something you grow to love, and when I came back to Adelaide not having a fire going felt pretty strange (as did sleeping indoors). I was also clueless about pop culture references of the time - I'd never heard of Seinfeld or The Simpsons but people were quoting them incessantly.

Cult?

No, just squatting in the forest with a bunch of people. At one point I even held down a job (picking coffee berries) while living in a tree house - I saved up lots of cash not having to pay rent. A lot of that sort of thing goes on over there.

I've been smoking for years, but never got lung cancer before. Therefore I doubt it was caused by smoking.

I lie like this literally all the time while on the computer or playing video games, whereas I was throwing differently while drunk on Saturday and only play disc golf around once or twice a month.

I forgot you were a contorted creature on the subhuman level. Silly me.

This sounds lovely... minus the "with a bunch of people" part, of course.

Yeah that sounds pretty cool. Living off the grid a bit. Not having to pay rent/mortgage is nice also!

Went out with a friend last night, had two liters of Belching Beaver's Oktoberfest brews, commandeered a bass and a guitar from these two guys and showed them up with some jazz, and got kicked out of a biker bar. I'm still drunk.
