The other day I did a bad thing. I got hyper-sensitive about being perceived as “frugal” because I write this blog. I don’t want to do that. The point of doing this is to be disciplined enough so that I can be absolutely extravagant about things that really matter to me. The point is to get control and know what you’re doing. To fight apathy and ignorance and all things VH1 trash TV. So there. And I will not feel like a Scrooge because of it. Lots of other bloggers depate the wisely frugal vs. lamely cheap debate, so I know I'm not alone. I like Madame X's debate here and her definition - being frugal involves things you do which only affect you, while being cheap brings others into the equation. When others are involved, I am always generous. And I don't want to feel cheap for being frugal solo.
Anywho, now I'm gearing up for a long Saturday of writing at my local coffee shop...
Also, added a photo of me and my best friend from when I was out visiting her in San Francisco a few weeks ago. We had decided to have a dance party in her apartment instead of going out that night.
