So...

I'm SERIOUSLY considering moving into a storage facility I'm currently renting for my studio. Right now I'm paying 300$ a month in rent (cheap, I know!) but my shit job and medical bills are kicking my fucking ASS. I'm paying.... well, my "share" of this storage facility is like 20 bucks a month. YEAH.

I already use my parents address as my mailing address ANYWAYS, and I've got access to a shower at work. All I'd really be missing out on is having my own fridge/stove/washing machine.

So basically, I'm tempted to become homeless and save my money. I do all my posting from work/friends ANYWAYS, so I'll still be on NG. I'm at this facility 3-4 hours a day as it is. I basically leave work, go straight to my jam space, stay there till midnight OR LATER, come home, pass out, normally with my clothes still on. If I lived in my jam space.. this would never happen.

Also, my jam space is HUGE, like, 12 foot ceiling, about the size of a tractor trailer or a mobile home. If I lived there, I could make it pretty nice, although... no air condtioning... or heat....

Hrm.... still, spring is a-coming, and that's about three months of easy rent free living while I save up money.

Thoughts?

that's pretty hardcore, but couldn't you just live with your parents for free a few months until you get some cash saved up?

That sounds like a really good idea. If you want to save even more money, you can eat out of dumpsters.

I have this thing... you may have heard of it... it's called "shame."

Also, my parents would charge me rent.

I used to eat food my buddy Krazy Karl stole from the freezer warehouse... where they stored prison food. I used to eat STOLEN PRISON FOOD.

Yeah. Although, to be honest, lentils and rice are cheap as fuck... you can eat that shit for cheaper than ramen, and it's got just about everything you need to live. I rarely pay more than $1.20 a pound for meat... I'll eat chicken livers if I have to. In fact, I fry a DAMN GOOD chicken liver.

Does this mean that you'll be cutting back on your use of prostitutes?

I feel like I'm talking to a really depraved person here.... and I like it.

I support you and your plan, my friend.


I'm gonna go back to my room and be awesome.

I should probably try it a few days at a time while I'm where I'm at... see if I can get used to it...

I think I shall. Once I start, I'm certain I'll make a thread about it.

I sort of wanted to live in a storage facility one day though only for a few months.


Well we were dumb enough to think it was gonna happen.

Noone knows this more than me.

NO ONE.

It's how I keep in touch with my inner child, really.

I was under the impression you weren't really a person who enjoyed children.

Oh, I enjoy them.... but only in the process of corruption. As in, I REALLY enjoy teaching children that the monsters under their bed are very, VERY real. I also like teaching them to hate.

If you really want to save money, why not move to prison?

Sure you won't have access to NG, and you might get raped/rape a few people, but there are good sides.

1. All the hate you can possibly want

2. Free food

3. Free workout

4. Free shelter

And you have your own personal caretaker(s)!

Actually, when I had my surgery and my Dr. fucked me over, I SERIOUSLY considered murdering him for this very reason. I could be quite happy living in prison, AND I KNOW IT. I'm large enough not to be a target, and smart enough to avoid any of the obvious dangers as well as take advantage of the opportunities available.
