The Details

Now don't get too excited, or should I say worried? By no means am I saying I'm going to live the life of a "bum." That would be much too boring for me! I'm just going to change my housing situation to something a little more exciting. I'm working on buying a vehicle to sleep in right now because camping out or sleeping on doorsteps is simply not feasible in Aliso Viejo. I'm looking for a van or SUV to keep the wind off my nose and the bugs out of my hair. I plan on keeping my Tercel to zip around town and go on trips. After all, this adventure of mine is going to be kept top secret until the proper time. I certainly can't be rolling up to my parents' house in a huge van with a bed in the back. My dad will want to inspect the entire vehicle and of course he'll ask me why I have all of my possessions in the back. Wouldn't that be awkward? Having two cars and nowhere to park them could present a problem. I scoped out a couple streets within walking distance of my work that basically function as overflow for the local apartments. People park their extra cars, work vans, and RV's for days at a time. I'm going to rotate my living vehicle from street to street every couple days and use my Tercel to zoom over to work. If I get an SUV, space is going to be tight so having a second car will be great for storage, too.

I'm sure you've got a hundred other questions about food, showers, the bathroom, and where I'm gonna keep all my stuff. Trust me, I've been asked before and I've got answers for them all:

Food: Fresh fruits and veggies, non-perishables, eating out, and going to dinner at friends' houses.
Showers: Fluor 24-7 gym with free towel service.
Bathroom: At work, at dinner, in the bushes if necessary!
Sleep: Sub-zero mummy bag, foam pad, limo-tint windows.
Work: Same as always.
Surf: As much as possible, keep the wetsuit at a friend's house.
Favorite TV Shows: Watch at friends' houses or don't watch at all, which is even better!
Stuff: Sell it, give it away. What do you really need in life anyway, stuff-wise?

Anything else? If there's something I've forgotten, I'll soon find out!
