This is the first thing that new van dwellers always ask. Why? What could you possibly have that’s going to use a bunch of electricity? Unless it’s medical equipment, you’ll probably find that you don’t really need it once you’re living in the van. Van’s require electricity to go, and at the same time there… Continue reading How to Have Electricity When You Live in a Van

Always a new ending, always a new begining.
I left that little hippie town at midnight and didn’t get far. I meant to leave earlier but I was hanging out with Darcy, Lydia, and Glaserella. It was an awesome mix of herb people, massage people, sex workers, van dwellers, and a glass eating carnie. We set up my stove in a little park… Continue reading Always a new ending, always a new begining.
I fixed it
I’m gonna fix it more later, but in the meantime if you see anything out of wack (besides the obvious sidebar stuff and about page pic), please let me know.
The little hippie oasis in the midwest

Hopeful anyway, I showed up on Wednesday and they told me the same thing. That really sucked, cause I was down to, like, a hundred dollars. I had emergency money,… Continue reading When the Stripping Sucked

Book Review: My Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
My Ishmael is even better than Ishmael. The narrator is a twelve year old girl. She’s a stereotype, really: the only latchkey child of a single alcoholic workaholic mother. Daniel Quinn doesn’t bother to introduce her further, except to throw in a couple more cliches. I was pretty pissed about this, because his male characters… Continue reading Book Review: My Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
