Does Club Med have a resort for geeks?
May. 11th, 2007 01:18 amI think I need more than a good night's sleep. I feel like I need a break from work, at least a week away from town. I need to go somewhere with major parties. I am not used to this feeling but I think I need it desperately.
I need some help sorting out these thoughts. I feel adult crap has been beating me up and I need a total frat boy moment. I have seriously thought about one of singles' vacations where you wind up drunk on various beaches and a paternity suit two years later... except I'd rather not deal with alcoholics or sunshine.
Usually when I get this feeling, I wind up in a hostel somewhere. I find hostels without trying. "I've got this bag on my shoulders and... oh hey, there's a group of lost folks and I memorized the map. Time to split a cab!" I love going to hostels and getting into a couple people's heads for a few days. I can watch groups rise and fall over a short time, like an anthropology course on meth and, for some reason, Marmite.
This time, however, I don't want to drop out of the group dynamic so fast. I want to go for a big trip without a lot of plans. I want to land in a city and eventually have to get back to it for my flight out. In between I want to fall in love with architecture and life again. I want to take a tour and then drag everyone to the supermarket for a different kind of cultural analysis. "Anyone else notice they sell car insurance at this supermarket but they put the gas station on the other side of the giant parking lot?"
"What's a gas station? You mean petrol?" Sure, yeah. Car park. Please don't tell me you've got a different word for methadrine too. I'll have to figure out how you say that and... fuck, just take off your top and lemme see if I can get you off.
Ideas? I'm desperate. And yes, I looked at Geek Cruises and that looks completely miserable to me. I do not want to be trapped on a boat. I want to see old things and fuck young things. I am not interested in prostitutes. I am interested in getting an altered reality with pleasure included.
