Like Max Rockatansky, pre-post-apocalypse. I mean, I kind of do anyway, I can see the Atlantic Ocean when I stand up, I'm floating out here. But I'm in... a neigbourhood. A group of houses. It's an obstruction between I and the water. Not a particularly concentrated 'hood, but the left side of my backyard nonetheless bleeds into another. Luckily all I see if I look straight out back is wooded area. And whenever I step out the front door, there's always some asshole WALKING DOWN THE STREET MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS. Hard to take sometimes.
There's nothing like being removed from that. Geographic arrangement of our summer-bungalow- a road through the woods (best part) leading to a clearing, then the house on a hill, beach below, and it feels so liberating to step out. You can sit down anywhere and not be watched by anybody, you can piss anywhere, not get tricked into having smalltalk with my neighbours... here in town, if they aren't working, they're frying their bacon out there on their patio, just camping out waiting to say hi. It's night and day, the way I feel when I step outside in the country and how it feels here.
Thing is, the country gets rather boring, I can only tolerate the overall country experience in small doses... although that ''buffer zone'' around the dwelling is something that never gets old. It can't. So maybe my ideal settlement would be a not-so-remote on the edge of town somewhere. Farmhouse or something.
How do you feel about your immediate surroundings... do you feel free, do you feel molested? I feel invaded right now and I'm just venting. I was out there reading, bliss, and then my neighbours' brothers' kids or something showed up and now I really want to go out to the bungalow where I know nothing like that will happen. Now I'm in here. With you guys. Yuck.

Wait, what does this topic have to do with living on the water?
I must really be mad or something, I don't know what I'm topicing.

Even moderators get extremely angry at children and then immediately go down to the basement to go BaTsHiT cRazY on messageboards.
I think I made some good points though. Space is good. And whatnot. Water.
