I found one

Imported from MySpace blog

I found a New Year's resolution worth resolving for! After much tossing about in my head for a decent resolution, which I usually eschew entirely because they're lame (hence the difficulty finding a decent one) I've decided to buy nothing new for the entire year of 2007.

Sadly, I didn't think of it on my own. I was inspired by a news article in my very own distinguished newspaper about a group of yuppies in California who made a pact to do the same thing. They did, like I will, buy certain things new, which are impossible or just icky to get used, like undies, food and other comestibles, cleaning products for bath and home, and stuff like that. I will also refuse to purchase used clothing that has been sweated into heavily, like sweatpants and sports bras. Ewwwww.

Anyway, if you see me wavering in front of a shiny, shiny pair of new shoes or a spiffy something-or-other, slap me. Actually, don't do that, because you'll be physically harmed. But, if you think it's a good idea and want to join me in my quest, let me know! We can trade stuff, or go Goodwilling together. Maybe we can start a revolution. Or just begin acting like self-righteous yuppie scum. Either way, fun will be had.

Side note: if anyone has any smallish padded envelopes, or knows where I can buy them used, that would be cool. I send mix CDs off once a month as part of the International Mixtape Project and I suspect I'll be running low on packaging soon...
