Would you stay in this house?

I don't know how many of them I've seen. Those little memes that show a house that's either the picture perfect haunted house, or some lonely cabin out in the middle of nowhere. With a little text around it saying something like, "Would you stay here for X money?" Sometimes, I wish someone would do it seriously.

Often they want you to give up things like Facebook or Twitter, or even the internet all together. And I'd be alright with doing that. About the only place I'd draw the line is I'd want to be allowed at least a phone for emergency calls in the event something really bad happened and I needed help. Honestly most of the things these memes ask you to live without are things that wouldn't really be hard for me to do without at all.

I'd spend a month or even more. I'd mostly work on writing, and I'd write letters to friends and family to stay in touch. I grew up without the internet, so it's not something I haven't done before. It would almost be like a little vacation. And often times, these houses are in the middle of beautiful places! Serene forests, or mountain ranges, surrounded by trees and wildlife. It'd be almost like a little vacation.

As long as I was allowed to have a typewriter, a couple pens, and some paper. I'd probably rather enjoy it. I've thought a few times about going off and just spending a little time alone with my thoughts, so that I could get more of the stuff I want to write out of my head. I've had an idea or three for some longer stories, but I never seem to have the time to put them togehter. This would definitely give me that time.

But that said, obviously no one is going to come out of the woodwork and offer me to live the meme. Still, it gives me a chuckle to think about it.
