A nifty quote

"A big transformation for me was from consumer to citizen. Once you take out the consumer role in your life, you start to have a lot more time and passion and money to contribute as a citizen."
~Judith Levine

Yes. That.

Taken from this article. It's a tempting idea. I don't know if I could go for a year without buying books, though. I might be able to go an entire year without going to the movies. Lord knows, I think I can count on the fingers of one hand the movies I went out to see.

It makes me wonder if I could do it...

Not at all. I certainly wouldn't have said "welcome" if you were bothering me. :)

I just try to make it clear to the nice new people who are coming to my LJ these days not to take it personally if I don't automatically friend them back. If I read someone's LJ, I like to put in the time to read it properly and comment if I can, and my flist has gotten to the point where I can only just manage it right now. :)
