OK, yeah, maybe I like the smell of patchouli candles, and maybe I'd burn more incense if it didn't give me such a terrible headache. Maybe I occasionally wear peasant skirts, and maybe I get all warm and fuzzy when I see that Florida's Natural is finally promoting the fact that it's one of few national brands that doesn't get its oranges from South America (not that I have a problem with South America — it's just that the current method for harvesting crops there comes at a huge expense to our environment).
But I've never smoked anything, and I don't own a single Grateful Dead album.
[Though I like them OK.]
So, um... take that, people at work.
If you shave your pits and your legs AND you eat meat, I can assure you are not a Hippy. Stoner or not.
ReplyDeleteStacy - I don't bother shaving those things (or even showering, for that matter) when I'm camping, but otherwise going a day or two without makes me feel all... gross. I eat poultry 2-3 times a week, but I always feel guilty about it.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay to be a hippie - even just a little bit....I get called "granola", same thing....
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this :]
Yougogirl! Now...um, what social category WOULD you place yourself into?
ReplyDeleteyou need to invest in some overalls and flannels. really throw them a curve.
ReplyDeleteThe New Yorker once did a piece about the use of slave Hispanic labor in Florida's orange groves. Don't feel so superior.
ReplyDeleteI like the smell of patchouli too, except when it's being used to mask the B.O. of a Hippy.
ReplyDeleteI'm neutral on Dead music, but the concerts are a full circus.
Frankily Yours
Franki- I agree about the smell masking agent.
ReplyDeleteDS-she said HIPPIE, not hillbilly.
ReplyDeleteMy orange juice purchases have been 100% Florida's Natural ever since I read that post of yours, and I did notice last time I bought it that they actually advertised your point.
