    So it's gonna be a long weekend for me. I'm taking some time off to go up to a more forested area for a few days. Because nothing screams life of the party like isolation in the forest.

      @northernnarwhal That sounds unbelievably fun, actually.

        @clayinthecarpet Making sure I pack my phone with some very lonely sounding music, and I'll have some time to think (and I can't slack off too much, but I'll be doing a fair bit of atmosphere absorption).

          @northernnarwhal Atmosphere absorption? What a fancy term for breathing

            @nerthos Well, I going to be spending a lot of time alone in the forest with nothing but the cool breeze and my thoughts. When I say "take in the atmosphere", I basically mean immerse myself in the mood of surroundings. Literal pathetic fallacy, to be more precise.

      @northernnarwhal i'd ask to come with but that would be defeating the purpose.

        @awl Because I've been up to my neck in work lately (partly because I waste time on site like here, and partly because I really have been getting to the meat of a lot of my current courses). Losing sleep, meals, and a bit of my sanity because I need to write up papers upon papers of reports where I'm proving every damn value in the Greek alphabet for physics. I'm bit ahead of the game now though and have all the assigned work for until Monday so I'm essentially saying "screw everything, I'm going to do what I do best and avoid people". Should be fun.

          @northernnarwhal i used to do that twice a year, get as far out from civilisation as possible for a few days. Mayhap i shall do so this year.

            @awl I already go on regular walks through my (sort of) forested suburban neighbourhood. Since, all things considered, I have the emotional stability of a seesaw in space, it kind of helps me clear my head.

              @northernnarwhal you and i are much alike in this regard. I still find something in deep nature to be an all-encompassing spirituality.
