Hey... I'm wondering if you have friends down there, what your life is like, etc. Just curious.


Cuz me and username88 plan to meet, and we want at least 4 other people to meet with us, for the sake of safety as well as fun. :D


Kilroy plans to come if there's another girl he can hook up with.


And we also want at least 2 more people! :D


We plan to literally live together in an apartment in Edmonton, Alberta.


There are TONS of under-the-table jobs in Edmonton, from data entry to landscaping.


There are also colleges you can go to, but if you're not a Canadain citizen I dunno if you can get a student loan or a free ride due to disability.


Medical treatment? No problem. I'm sure together we can convince my shrink (or whatever doctor you need) to give you whatever treatment you need, and prescribe for you anything you need, under my name. :)


Food? There are tons of food banks here, and a place to get 3 free meals a day. It's a rough mission, but if we go together (and half of us will probably be guys) we'll be safe!


Please consider it! I want to meet you lonely depressed people! :D I know there are tons of you who are completely alone! So am I! So is username88!

Thanks for the offer but no thanks. Besides, I live too far away for any of that.

No offense... but I'm getting some serious Jonestown vibes off of all of this...

Meh, don't mind me... I'm just intensely paranoid about communities and such like this...

This isn't the commune; this is a pre-commune thing... where we live together in an apartment and whoever wants to buy land with us (and some trailers to live in while we save up to build more permanent stuff) will do it and we'll all live in the commune together, at least in summers until we get our careers and that going and then we can afford more permanent stuff!

Well then it'll be easy for you! You're Canadian, so you can get a legit job rather than an under-the-table one! But the food they serve at that mission is really good; why buy food youirself? Why not buy stuff you want? ;)

We need at LEAST 6 people-- preferably at least 10. So far we have:

1. Ana54
2. username88
3. Kilroy
4. the other girl
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
And others if they want to come!


PS: we need to spend most of the time outside and be very quiet in the apartment, because usually only like 5 people are allowed in an apartment... less if the apartment is smaller like a 1-bedroom!

Ok... I think 10 is a bit too much for the apartment situation right now.. I think five/six is a bit more realistic, not to mention that we probably wont be able to find 10 people that are interested.. I dont mean to sound negative about it here, but as logically as possible :wink:
