I was thinking about living simply and how we all probably have different ideas about what that is. This worried me a bit because I was thinking about how some of our ideas on this could lead to conflict, and I was also worried because I wanted people to comply to my own views on what 'living simply' is. As in, there are some things that I wouldn't want to have in the house that someone else might want in the house. But I'm starting to realize that that isn't the biggest deal, and I'm realizing that it's more important that everyone has as much say as anyone else on what they have in the house. I was feeling a little too important, thinking that my ideas about what people should have matter more than their own ideas.
That being said, I'd like to have discussions about simple living and we can throw ideas around and find out where everyone is on that. I would like it if our commune-ity could be an experiment in simple living for us.
For example, my goal is to be able to give my car back to my parents and not have to pay insurance/gas/repairs/tickets/registration/inspection/oil change expenses. But I don't know how feasible that is. Then I can just bike around.
Plus we're going to have a garden at the house in addition to the one in Neal Park, and we're considering having chickens in our chicken coop.
I think we should all gather and watch "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" at my place, and then have a seance to summon the spirit of Saint Francis into our midst. Then we can just sing songs while doing garden work in rags and it will be fun.
Kelly is in the hospital and she's having surgery on her throat tomorrow morning. If you want to visit her she's in room 206.
I think I might have a hookup for free nightly Chinese food. If it works out we could put baskets on our bikes and ride to HEB in Bryan and pick up lots of Chinese food, then ride out to the park to share dinner with the folks there.
I'm really excited that I get to live with y'all :-)
Love
Dan

let's watch the movie on thursday night after we decide and plan on the weekend's projects... can everyone in town be there? dan, if you have a vcr, could we do it at your place?
Yes, but we are going to see Batman at midnight, so it has to be over by then.
Dan, thanks for your honesty and your thoughts. I agree on the simple living desire. I don't know too much about that, so I'll be learning a lot from you. However, getting rid of my car would probably end up being complicated living. How about getting rid of the fridge? :)
Yes lets get rid of the fridge and the beds.
And probably the chinese food thing might not happen. I think the manager's a slave to policy
Yes thursday night is good for me and we can do it at my place.
In addition to the fridge, lets toss the window units too. Heck, lets just demolish the entire house and sleep outdoors. Nobody really needs to shower right?
I have basically stopped showering this summer, so I'm cool with getting rid of those
