the old fashioned way

^ Wow, sounds like quite a good system then! I'd love to capture rainwater to at least use for watering the flowers when it hasn't rained in awhile... But, gotta live with what my mom wants on her property. She doesn't want "those ugly barrels like [our neighbor] has."
 
^ Doesn't it taste so much better that way! I wish I had the skills/know-how in the kitchen to make many of my once-favorite (prepackaged) foods. But the ones I have tried to recreate have turned out sooo much better than their prepackaged counterparts.
 
i inject chloral hydrate with a glass syringe and chase it with a beer stein of laudanum. i respect women. THE OLD FASHIONED WAY.
 
I have never been unfaithful in a relationship...ever. I am a very sexual,liberal lesbian but cheating on someone is something I have adamantly avoided in my 34 years. I feel very much alone in this accomplishment. I am sure a lot of it has to do with having been cheated on by almost everyone I have ever been in a relationship with.
 
I chop vegetables myself rather than getting pre-cut ones. I've been told I'm nuts to do so when "baby carrots taste better." I beg to differ.
 
I live in a ~110 year old house and do not own a microwave, dishwasher or garbage disposal.

I have never paid for cable TV (or had it for years). I do not facebook/twitter/myspace/blog and regard those who do as narcissistic.

I do not believe in credit / debt (except for mortgage, which is unfortunately the only way to avoid rent)

I am proud to work hard for an unimpressive living, and hold a lot of traditional values despite being violently agnostic (e.g. frowning on extra-marital intercourse/procreation, advocating an expansion of sharia-style law / capital-punishment).

I generally walk to any destination under 3 miles.

There are no aspirin/tylenol/cold medicine/etc to be found in my house, as I do not injest such worthless corporate chemical garbage.

I believe not being armed at all times is quite foolish.

I have impeccable grammar and despise on all those who rape our language in this era of digital degeneration.


If I had the $$ / knowledge I'd love to move out in the woods somewhere, surrounded by trees instead of people .. unfortunately I was born/raised in SoCal; I possess only language/computer skills rather than basic survival instinct. I can't repair a damn thing and I f**king hated boy scouts.

My television isn't HD.

I know, I'm stuck in the stone age.

I don't have hd on my tv either. My computer monitor is though. I don't think I have any hd stuff to watch? I don't even know.

My parents are still on dial up. When I lived with them I offered to pay for high speed internet and mom said NO.

Also, my dad pops popcorn in the frying pan with a lid.

I still talk about videotaping things. DVR and Tivo are foreign to me, I have no clue how to do it and I never think about doing it. We have dvr at my house but it's only on one tv? and I don't use that tv so I never do it..

And this past year is the first year I've had a tv. The only reason I even have it is because my ex was looking through a friend's storage, saw the tv, and decided that I needed one. Which was pretty nice of him. I'm not very good at watching it though. I turn it on and go read or whatever.

addictivepersona, i dislike baby carrots. You're right, they don't taste the same.
