Can you believe I'm the only kid who called to sing to my dad on his birthday? Scuse me while I polish my halo...
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

You might want to adjust that halo a bit, I think it's sitting a little crooked on your horns.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Can't sleep, again. Everything hurts. And I can't take Flexeril, because it makes me too groggy in the morning, and I've got stuff I need to do tomorrow. (Plus, this time the pain isn't muscular, so Flexeril wouldn't actually do anything for that. But it would put me to sleep.)

Good lord. Craigslist has made me so pathetic. A friend and I put up a joint ad the other day, and we got so few replies that were in any way decent (a few spam, one "hey, I'm not your type, but you go!", one that was a great reply...but is already a friend of ours...) that I ended up replying to the decently-written reply....from a FREEGAN.
To whom I basically started it off saying "yeah, so I'm doubting this will work. How hardcore are you on the freegan thing? We did mention in the ad "OMNIVORES". And I'm pretty darn bougie"

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
What the hell is a freegan? I'm guessing a vegan who only eats fruit? (Only I thought that was a fruitarian?) Or possibly a creature from the planet Freeg?

From wikipedia...
Even the manifesto pamphlet "Why Freegan" (written by Against Me! drummer Warren Oakes in 1999) is unclear in its definition of what constitutes freeganism.
I hope you found a compatible one.

I think those are called fruitarians. I was under the impression that freegan was just a pretty word for dumpster diver (skipper in the UK) but I found the wikipedia article fascinating and then I felt guilty for not allowing my minions to consume leftover hot dogs.

Huh. So it's someone who believes in eating only scavenged food? Interesting.
Jilli! Have you read Larklight? It's by Philip Reeve - I adored his Mortal Instruments books, which were sort of Steampunky YA, and I've been ogling Larklight for a while, and have just picked it up from our bookfair (it's book week at my school). It looks FABULOUS - kind of like his previous books, but pitched more at the Lemony Snickett age range. Victorian kids in space. Back cover blurb:
It was just another normal morning in space when disaster struck. My sister Myrtle (who is quite irritating, as girls generally are) and I faced the most awful peril, and we hadn't even had our breakfast...This is the story of what happened next, and our Dreadful and Terrifying adventure to save each other and the known Universe.

Thrive to spite them
Freegans basically try to live without buying anything. Some of them are vegans/vegetarians and there's dumpster diving -- like in commercial dumpsters.
One of my ex stepcousins was a freegan, I don't know how much dumpster diving he did, but he was a vegan and he and his friends lived near campus and so they were always picking up castoffs from college students and lived pretty well off that. They could get computers, stereos, all kinds of things. My ex step cousin also didn't register wtih the selective service (against his beliefs) so that pretty much killed his chances at college.
