Lo, let the snickering begin.

You are the Low-Fidelity All-Star. You were born
with your cool, and it's totally natural. You
run the gamut from Hipster Supreme (only they
can ingest as much coffee as you) to the geeky
hipster (Mario Kart, anyone?).

Today's meditation
Jul. 18th, 2003 11:29 amEverything in life is temporary, and dynamic. To endeavor to make anything permanent and static is to work against the very laws of the universe. This is futile, and only brings pain. I am not the oak, I'm the willow. Strength is a fine thing, but it means nothing without flexibility.
I'm thinking of giving away a lot of things when I move. There are boxes I haven't opened since my last move, and I think it's obvious that whatever things are in those boxes are things I don't need. In fact, there are a lot of things that I have used since my last move that I don't need.
I called Carey to ask her if this seemed normal. She said "Wait - move things, unpack them, and then see if you no longer want them. If the impulse goes away, then it's all just logistics, and you're just thinking that you don't want to carry any more boxes than you have to. If it doesn't go away, then you can give away all your stuff." I was thinking I'd move it to the new place, and then give it away though, so I'm not sure that's it. Still, it's nice to have somebody you can call for checks and balances on your whims.
I think what it's really about is that I'm moving into someone else's house. It won't be my house, my home, just the place I live in. And if you're going to be homeless, you may as well travel light.
