Last Thursday, I packed all my stuff, didn't tell anyone I was leaving and just promplty left home. I drove alone, from Omaha NE to Los Angeles CA. 1500+ miles. I got caught in 2 blizzards, almost died because of bad weather conditions, almost ran out of gas 100 miles from nowhere a few times. I got to Utah and ran out of money, had to sell my drum set for gas money. :[ Also that same night, I got arrested in Utah for being a "runaway" which I was. They kept me a few hours but had to let me go because I'm 18, not 19. 1 more year and I would have been fucked. Finally on Saturday afternoon I got to Torrance, Los Angeles, CA. The only thing I had to eat on the drive there (2 1/2 days) was a burger and 3 bottles of water. :[ I stayed with a girl named Melissa. The best girl I know. My favorite. Period. SO..I am out of money in LA. I called mom and dad. They were pissed. Sent me money though because they are worried. This is a huge life changing trip. I've never prayed in my life before this, but the trip itself was miserable. I have faith now, something I never thought could happen. I'm a changed man. In many ways. I spent two days in sunny California. Then I headed back. I spent Christmas alone. :[ Well, I was with Melissa. She's my everything. :] Then I drove more, right now I'm stranded in Rifle, COLORADO. Car is dead. I'm at a fancy hotel using the last of my money. Figure I'd end with a bang! Parents are coming to get me today. I'm not even beggining to describe this "vacation". It's been hell, it's been heaven. I'm just throwing what could be a novel into a few paragraphs right now. Lets just say I've barely eaten this week. I'm sick, have hardly gotten any sleep since day one, and yet I'm still the happiest boy alive. Literally I've had about 12 hours of sleep the entire past week. :[ I'm sick too. But I couldn't be happier. I've seen so much, so many wonderful things. I even got my first kiss on this trip. :] Everything is beautiful. I'm just glad it's over. |

I feel bad about just leaving without telling anyone. Not even my friends. My parents were so worried. They listed me as missing after a few hours. That's how the Utah police found me. I don't even know. There is so much in my head right now. -_- I'm just glad I'll be home soon back in my room. I've spent all my money and everything too. 500 dollars + 250 from my parents. My car is dead in freezing cold CO. I'm glad I'm in a fancy hotel as we speak. I've got pictures too, but I need to get home and develop the film. There's more to come on this story. Bye. |

Last Thursday, my dad pissed me off so much. I just left. I packed my guitar, a weeks worth of clothes, my drum set, and my camera into my car and drove off. I didn't even tell Mel I was coming to see her until I was halfway there. I felt bad about leaving because my siblings and parents had no idea where I was. I cried a lot on the trip. Like a gay. Hahaha. :D My grandparents came to our house that night too. They were torn apart. :[ I felt so bad for my family that I had let them down. But they are just glad I am safe. Thats a really long way to drive if you're 18, barely have any money, and you're sick, and it's bad weather, and you have a bad car, and you've never really traveled before, let alone being by yourself. So weird right now. -_- |

you can get arrested for leaving home at the age of 18/19? wtf |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only if you're 19. not 18 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why the fuck can you get arrested for that at 19? surely at 19 your perfectly free to drive out your hoyuse whenever the fuck you want. |

No. My parents listed me as a "runaway". So the Utah police found me when I was resting at 2 AM in a truck stop. He put cuffs on me and searched me and my car while I was half asleep. It was so weird. They took me to the jail house and said I would be arrested and locked up for a week if my parents had reported my car as stolen too. Thank God they didn't. They were going to put me in a youth home until my parents came to get me, but the youth home couldn't take me because my parents couldn't sign anything. (1000 miles away.) And Utah law states that if I am under 19, they cannot take me if my parents can't come get me....for some reason, or something like that. So basically after a few hours he gave me my car back, my stuff back and said I was free to go, but If I was pulled over in another state the law might not be the same. My parents called the hotline taht night to report me as not missing though, so I was fine the rest of the trip. |

No. My dad pissed me off so much on Thursday. I had to leave. It was a bit rash...but I had been needing a vacation fo quite some time. I won't even begin to talk about my dad right now. I'm still angry. |

My parents understand why I left. They knew I needed a vacation. In fact, the weeek before I had mentioned it kind of. The only thing they were angry about is the fact that I didn't tell ANYONE and just left. I've got about 2500 miles so far. Maybe more. I am cose to home, but the car died, so.....they are coming to get me. They are just glad I'm safe. The driving in the blizzards was so dangerous! |

I did something like this when i was 15. it was so fun but yet so very dangerous, there were crackheads and pornography and a group of chefs and everything. it lasted 6 days. i returned, like you, a nonvirgin and a changed person. i didnt drive though and i didnt do it cos i was in a pissy mood with mum and dad either. |

i broke down a few times between Utah and California. Dude, That stretch of land hates cars. I totally understand. If it wasn't for a couple good samaritans I'd be dead too. Long story. Just stay out of Barstow. Thats a start. |

Yeah, so in Nevada you can gas up your car to full and still run out of gas before you get to the next gas station. So you have to have a gas can. This also happened to me. |

Did you go to the Bunny Ranch swift? ;) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Imagine what it could have been like if you had ran further away than your grandparents house? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh I did. They found it about the same time I got put in cuffs at the rest stop. It was wide where they could see it too. |

Yeah my car spun twice in the blizzrd. First time I did two 360's and went down into a ditch. Got out okay, oddly enough. All by myself too. SEcond time some guy pulled me out at like 3 AM. No one else was around for hours. I think it was an angel or something. This sounds gay I know. I'm not religeous at all, but this trip forced a lot of praying out of me. Now I'm still not Christian or some fag like that, but I'm a strong believer in God after all this. Right before Las Vegas gas was 3.88 a gallon! =0 And I don't have a gas can. Hence the ton of praying I did, and slooow driving in low gears. Haha. Saw the Ranch. Drove through the strip at midnight. It was great! I have so many great pictures on film I'll develop within the week. The canyons were wonderful, Hermosa beach in LA was beautiful, the girl was beautiful too. :] |

you were a 19 year old virgin? LOLROFLAOIDNAOIUSBNDOO By the way, this: "I stayed with a girl named Melissa. The best girl I know. My favorite. Period." makes you sound like a total bell end. Just so you know. |

YEAH. The "I am almost dead in a fancy hotel" part is my fave. Not to be ironic.Don't get me wrong - I really like your "joyride" and your story made me smile, but this part about starving in a luxury hotel is the most "Woody Allen" style EVER! :D |

Last wednesday I got zapped at work (electrician). Before I was splicing wires I needed a ladder, there were two right beside eachother, I took the wooden over the metal one. I could be dead right now. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
I could be dead right now, if i suddenly developed an allergy to oxygen. Creepy thought.. Are you saying you could be posting this thread while dead? Maybe we could all be dead right now. Chalk. |
