So for a while I had been without internets, then I was with internets, but by then the whole idea was dead for lack of funds and I had neglected (and then downright forgotten) to post about it. Now the whole thing might just be back on!
See, the way things are going right now, I am likely to be getting a reliable, really fucking inexpensive car (see: blog thread), as well as my CA driver's license, within the next 2 months. By summer, if I work HELLA like I fully intend to, I should have a decent amount of money (after paying off all debts, too). If I don't stay in hotels at all on the way to Tronno (we'll see how I manage that without being absolutely gross), and if I manage my food budget, I could actually be back on with this plan by summer.
I apologize for the bump after a billion years of deadthread, but I am really excited about the idea of my first epic independent-of-family travels.
To QCers in the Bay Area of California: if you would like to pitch gas money, I could reasonably fit a maximum of 2 other people in the vehicle I am planning on getting. It might be a tight fit (that is what she said) but it'd be hella bomb to not be FUCKING ALONE driving across the entire United States of America.
