Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS)
#1

Well, gee. I guess I miss out on the graduating senior trip, called the “fuckfest” by some of my friends. This means I have nothing to do this summer. This is the mundane and pointless part.

Now, since I’m not doing anything in California until the NoCal/SoCal fest, I geuss I’ll have to think of something to do. My plan: ROAD TRIP! That’s right, if I get the money, and a car, I’m probably going to be traveling with a few friends around the country. Now, I’ve got a couple places in mind (remember, I’ll be 18 by this time), places like Florida and Chicago.

Now, this is all preliminary, and has a great chance of falling apart, but what other places would make good pit stops? (Note: I’ve rarely traveled outside of CA, and never have I gone somewhere by myself).

I remember being that young and naive. Ah, the memories… but a lifetime of pain and misery has left me a twisted, cynical old man.

I would definitely go to New York. And of course to Florida to visit me and Tasha.

Don’t forget to get ideas from this website:
Roadside America - your online guide to offbeat tourist attractions

If you’re on a budget, I would suggest making a list of national parks you want to visit (Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, etc…) and check those out. As long as you have a tent and don’t mind camping out, that should be a cheap and fun vacation.

I was going to mention Las Vegas, but since you’re barely eighteen, I will on the contrary urge to stay away from that abode of sin and suggest Salt Lake City instead. :smiley:

Says Monster

Feeling left out, lonely and limp? Attend a local Dopefest!!

How did I know that mentioning sex in a thread would somehow draw ChiefScott?

I want to go to Vegas, New York, Miami, and Chicago. I’m also looking for interesting places in other States that I don’t remember. I’m gonna be checking out the site Arnold provided.

What kind of stuff is there to visit in the Midwest?

#8

Visit DC! Visit DC!

:smiley:

Let me know if you pass through Kentucky.

I don’t live there–but someone dear to me does. It’d be mega-magically awesome if I could use you as my personal courier. :wink:
[dopefest plug]I hope I see you at the LA Fest tomorrow. :slight_smile: It’d be a shame for the person who initiated it not to show up![/dopefest plug]

Yes, visit DC!

Actually, a friend and I had a plan to visit attend a baseball game at every single major league ballpark on a big roadtrip after the graduating high school. Never happened. I’m still bitter. 'Course, it was only three years ago, so I suppose I have time to get over it still.

Hey, that last post was my 100th and I didn’t even notice. Do I get a prize?

For my 100th post of course, not for being unobservant :smiley:

Try to avoid Nebraska. Your car could break down and you could be forced to LIVE THERE FOREVER AND EVER!

#13

Shit, don’t scare me like that…Nebraska was never on my list in the first place.
