While inebriated and out on the town, "goin' on a journey" is to leave one's friends behind for the night to network and meet new people. Most of these people being from the opposite sex.
this practice is done by accumulating a planets worth of drugs (preferably a mixture of stimulants and opiates) then staying upall night doing things on your computer that the nsa would not approve of
"hey tom theres this data server ive been lookin at no ones used it years, u wanna hit it?" "george, i see us goin on a board bender in our future" "maaaayyyybe but by brother never takes his adderall, were good"
Beyond creepy. Taking pictures of girls you don't know... Watching girls out of the window of your third floor apartment with a plastic telescope... giggling when you make eye contact with girls...that kind of shit. weird.
