The Hippies Won

I come to you waving my white flag. I can no longer resist the urge to become "one with nature" and all that good stuff. You can officially call me one of those new-age wack jobs that eats sprouted grains, organic foods, shops at a co-op and spends moments each day greeting the sun and moon and thanking them for life. Yes, that's me.

I dance in very little clothes. I believe that evening primrose oil will help with my fibroids. I have faith in the power of yoga and mindful meditation. I have an appointment for a reiki healing session this weekend. I'M CURRENTLY RESEARCHING ACUPUNCTURISTS IN MY AREA; also, ways to compost in my apartment. I might even purchase a few purifying plants to help me breathe better at home.

I use a neti pot. I'VE QUIT PORN.

The end is near, folks. The Jaded NYer you've known and loved all this time is (d)evolving back into a hemp shoe-wearing, tree-hugging, earth-loving new-ager. Except this one doesn't really drink and that used to be the funnest part of being a tree nymph.

I still eat Buffalo wings, though. And I still write. And my machete remains mighty. So maybe you won't disown me just yet...

*smooches...changing for the better, I hope*

if not then one of y'all can host a kegger for my intervention

Welcome to the other side. I already have accupuncture plans at a community health clinic near me with a sliding scale. Sasha knows of a similar one in BK if you want a lead. I am all about essential oils these days as well :-)

Yes, please send a lead. My insurance might cover it O_O!!

My dad ... a Midwestern, meat and potatoes eating man ... actually "resorted" to reiki when he had exhausted almost every other avenue in pain management. To say I was shocked was an understatement.

To say that he was shocked when he actually felt results is even more of an understatement.

Would love to hear how both that and the acupuncture go.

Why does quitting porn require the same status (caps-wise) as researching an acupuncturist?

The Jaded NYer said...

@kelly- will do. I'm super scared of the acupuncture, though. Needles. AAAACK!

@nicole- it's a running gag among my friends is all.

Quit porn? Now I know the aliens got to you.
