Never seriously contemplated running away from home because I'm a pragmatist who's been indoctrinated into the cult of the Importance of Financial Security, but lately I have been considering emigration in a few years, after I finish college. I could see myself moving to one of the Scandinavian countries, particularly Norway, just to escape all of the pressures at home and give myself a few years to finish my novel. But that's just the dream of a conservative dreamer, I suppose.
