So, I love living in a city. It's nice to be able to go get a hot meal in the middle of the night if you're not up for cooking, or to know that the hospital's right there and the police and neighbors if something happens. It's nice to have something fun to occupy your time.
But sometimes I think it would be awesome to live in the middle of nowhere. On a commune or some shit where there aren't any people except the people I like. Because as much as I like people-watching, going out to eat, seeing movies in a nice theater, and the wonders of architecture, I'm not much of a "people person." I think working in customer service does that to you.
I was watching this BBC series called "Survivors." It was pretty creepy. In it, like 90 percent of the world's population died overnight due to an aggresive flu pandemic. The whole thing was terrifying, especially since you read all the time about how that shit is coming, and is inevitable. But, like Zombieland, Mad Max, and all yer favorites, you can't help but fantasize about how cool it would be to live in a world populated by just a couple hundred people.
I'm all watching some dude driving a convertible at like 100 miles an hour down a deserted city street (in the show) and thinking, "That is the life." If you could just take the people you love the most and just hole up for a couple years and not have to deal with anyone else, wouldn't you want to?
I don't know. Maybe I'm just cranky today because it's a hella busy day and I probably haven't had enough to eat. There are days when I love human beings, and other days where I just feel like being reclusive. I've never been much of a partier or a socialite, but I do think I would get lonely real fast in a world with no people, even if it did mean I'd never have to put up with assholes ever again.
