Journal Entry 3
I know I can do whatever I want and helping others is not usually something that I enjoy, but when I walked to work yesterday morning, I saw and old lady lying on her front yard, a rake fallen over her weak, still body. For some eason, I don't understand, I felt sorry for her and I wanted to help her even though it was not my responsibility at all. So I waked up to her and saw that she wasn't breathing. I didn't have any CPR training, but that doesn't matter because even if something goes wrong, no one can blame me, and if someone wants to come after me, than it's my own choice, but right then I just wanted to do what i could to revive the poor, old lady. I gave her CPR and it didn't take long till she started breathing again. When she regained conciousness, she practically flattened me in a hug of gratitude. She was so happy I couldn't help, but feel rewarded when I left.

My parents decided that they wanted to join up with a few families and start a school system for me and my brother and all the other kids whose parents wanted to send them. My brother likes school, but I know I'm not smart and I don't like school. All we ever do is write stories and figure out stuff with numbers and some other work I don't understand. Today one of the kids ran out of the classroom and when we had to go look for her, no one could find her. I understood her, though. I think one day I'm going to run away too even though I wouldn't get very far because my parents have control over me and they would come find me and take me home. So I haven't yet. Instead, I went to school this morning and listened to some story about explorers and wrote a long paper about it (just because that's what the teacher wanted and if I didn't, something 'terrible' would happen to me). She only lerys us have one break-for lunch-because she wants ust o learn and work all the time. Then we do that work with numbers, called Math, I think. It's really hard and when we do it orally, I get my answers wrong and the kids laugh at me and the teacher gets mad, but at least I get to go home right after that class. I guess it's my own choice, though, because I could study harder if I wanted to. And if I really wanted to, I could leave my home for forever, till my parents found me, and be on my own.
Journal Entry #1
Finally it's weekend. Phew...it's not that I don't like the other days here, but I've been waiting for a real adventure since I moved here four days ago. There's something I had always wondered how it would be or what it would fell like...to torture someone and maybe kill someone. But I have never done it before because I didn't want to face the consequences and I didn't want to be guilty. So when I heard about Aristaeus, I just had to come and check it out. Last night I went out with a few of my friends: Dave, Mike, and Brandon. We were having a great time, but I was even more excited about later on. When it finally got dark, I started looking for my target. Then I spotted my "person" and I can still almost feel fearful thrill that shot through me when I realized what I was going to do, but I followed him anyway because it was what I wanted to do. It wasen't going to hurt me in any way, unless, my target was stronger and he would beat me up before I would him. I followed the teenage boy until I closed in on him and knocked him to the ground. I beat him up, and just left him there, lying alone in the dark, all hurt. I mean, had he been stronger he could have stopped me, but he wasn't, so it sucks to be him. I finally walked home last night, watching my back, and feeling perfectly happy with the events of my day.

Aristaeus- It's PERFECT
Aristeaus really is what it means..."the best".
Daily Itinerary
Inhabitants of our society will enjoy gathering resources for their survival. As they are basically on their own. Or they steal the resources you need. Things to do are, build shelters, hunt, gather food, plant, and craft useful tools that will help with your survival. You can attempt to build a community with rules and other things. Anything you can think of you are allowed to do. You are not restricted to anything. You can vist many of the worlds natural wonders as they are not destroyed by a society. You can get there by walking, or building a vehicle of your choice. Our main attraction is freedom of choice, and experiencing the hardships of living without a society.

Governing Body
We can say from the start that there will be no government in our utopia. We think that it is not right that some group of people can control the whole country. What you get depends on what you do and the choices you make. Everyone will kind of live their life alone, and if they need someone or something, they can get it however they want. So for example if a guy wants to marry a girl, he can either just take her from her family by force, or he can ask her father for her hand, or he could come up with some other choice. Here he has to twice before making a step, unlike in our current society, where we just have to look at the rules and follow them. In this case though, the guy could take the girl by force from her family, but then he can expect facing her father and his little army with him. That will cause trouble, and her father might kill him or make his life a misery. His second choice could be that he would ask her father for her hand, which the father would agree to or be against it. If he agrees to it, then there is your prize, but if he disagrees, then you could probable do many things to change his opinion (like impressing him, or giving him a special gift, or all the amazing things guys can do to impress people (especially girls ...lol...) If that still doesn’t work, he can either walk away from this situation and look for another girl, or you can come up with a creative plan. You see how our choices affect our lifestyle? It makes you want to think twice before you do something. It is the same thing with food or land or all the things that we have in life; you have to make the BEST decision in that situation. There is one more example of how to make the wrong or right decisions we would like to mention: If one farmer grows potatoes, and the other farmer grows tomatoes, and that same farmer needs potatoes each year, they would make a deal. So if the potato farmer gives 500 kg each year to the tomato farmer and the tomato farmer gives 200 kg of tomatoes, and another 300 of eth corn he is growing, they have a deal, and everyone gets their portion each year. What if one of those famers decided to take away the others’ farm? Would that be a good or bad decision? Well, we think that would be a bad decision in this case, because the potato farmer might not know what the best way is to make those tomatoes grow, so he might not get lucky in that way and he wouldn’t get as many tomatoes as he would if he hadn’t taken over the farm.
