right.

so I've done pretty well at forging myself a materially-independent lifestyle - I pay my own rent, car payments, food, fun, gas, insurance - the only thing I don't pay for is my tuition. Maybe this is somehow connected?

However, being spritually and emotionally and intellectually independent is failing miserably. Anyone know of a good deserted island?

Welllll... you could always do it the way I did. Get rid of your television, computer, CD player, pretty much everything but a clock radio. It also helps if you get rid of all the furniture. Now live on a diet of Ramen and don't talk to anyone for a few weeks. You'll feel yourself really getting into the right mindset.

Extreme times, extreme measures, huh...

Something like that. Think of it as a retreat. Make your life more simple. Books and cards are allowed in this. Simple things basically.

cards?

[baronbrian.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like playing cards. Solitare, poker, blackjack, that kind of thing.

Ahh.
well if I were alone, solitaire would be the only game in town, eh?
not like there's only one way to play solitare ;)

Ah, not true. I can play a mean hand of poker with myself. Blackjack too. I think spades and hearts would be kinda difficult though.

Re:

Hm... yeah I guess blackjack would work. I don't know about Poker. You couldn't have the added suspense of bluffing ;)

Sure you would. You just have to be able to suprise yourself.
