This is the
collective diary of four people. In January 2001, tired of being the workers in
this life we set out to find the other life that had to exist.
We lived
together in a large and rather nice flat in North London. Actually, first lets
introduce ourselves. I’ll start with me, my name’s Rik. Or at least it is now.
But more of that later. The other people in the flat were Jack, Jasmine and
Poppy. Once again not their original names.
If you have
clicked on the names above you will now know a bit about our background. You
see the problem was that we were all doing well enough for ourselves – if you compared
us to any benchmarks. But not really sorted - we ranged between content and stressed and bored. I’d lived in
Australia for a bit and Poppy had taken a year out travelling before university. We knew that life didn’t have to
be about nine to five careers. Then one day Rik came home with one of his ideas
– this wasn’t the first crazy idea he’d had. I think his timing was just right
on this one though. We had a few beers one evening and formed his idea into a
reality for us for the next year of our lives.
This web
site is the diary of our lives for the past year. Please note it is an
uncensored diary so if you are under 18 or easily shocked by sex, violence, or
bad language this may not be for you.
