Anyone know anything about being homeless?

[cannedpeahes]

Catcher is a good book.

Anyone been in the Peace Corps?

It's much easier to get a minimum wage job and get your own apt....

or work for something, that seems to be a better choice to me.

I was working, but I lost my job due to an absurd technicality. I was a pizza driver, but the pizza place's insurance company made a new rule that said drivers had to have their license for three years. I've had mine two and a half.


I obviously could get another job, but they are scarce in my area, and the idea of traveling across the country, starting from scratch has always appealed to me.

I'm in the same boat. No, you don't have to read Catcher to want to do this.

My advice: get a good reliable car and some gas money, by hook or by crook. Live out of that. Shelters are a bitch.

Read Wikihow. It has a bunch of articles on good homelessness. Also, Steal This Book has some good (now mostly obsolete) tips, but you can still read the wiki.

This is a good idea.

Hell yes it is. Trust me, my mind spends a lot of time there.

And don't listen to Dave.

A friend of mine was homeless for a while. He lived in an abandoned barn for a while and ended up riding a bicycle across the states over the course of a year or something of the sorts. If you aren't forced into the situation don't go looking for it. It really sounds like you just want to go backpacking like a dirty hippy.

Yes. Sadly, this won't be the first time I say "It's all in the knickers."

This thread is funny.

Like short bus funny. Inside, you kinda feel sorry for them because they can't help it, but outside you're laughing because they're just so fucking retarded.

After you finish Surf's comic, read On the Road.I doubt America is much like that anymore, but, hey, it's your life.

If you can stand to be filthy, it might be for you. Me, I'm lost if I don't have a hot shower within 5 minutes of waking up every morning.

Yes. Hadn't you noticed? It comes and goes.

Read it last year.


Honestly, I can't stand filthiness, I'm terrified of bugs, I'm picky about what I eat, I'm skinny, I have no useful skills, and I'm a coward. This is a bad idea. But I still might do it. At the very least, I'm gonna try to save some money up and do it the smart way in a car like Peaches said.

Ok.  Just checking.  Seriously, living out of your car sucks.  Living out of a seabag sucks.  You will not make any profound philosophical breakthroughs, you will be wondering how the fuck you're going pay for gas and food for the next 3 days.

I'm skinny, I have no useful skills

So it sounds like you're going to be selling yourself for cash, then.

I might if I could pick my clients. No one more than twice my weight. No one who hasn't showered in the past 12 hours. Basically, no one gross. And, of course, nothing, I mean, nothing, goes up my ass.

Ten Bux that when he gets to his first client his shits a brick and runs screaming.

Gotcha some links.

You have two options:
Pick A, and you might just look like an unfortunate victim of trying economic times.

B is a different story.

I'm about to be homeless, housing is kicking me out today and my house isn't ready to be moved in..not to mention the original occupants haven't left. So tomorrow I am officially homeless. Time to go on the street corner and whore myself.
