truth and confessions
Written on 9 October 2002 | Posted in me | 0 Comments
All the good, old fashioned bean spilling and cathartic guilty confession sharing that has been going on over at dooce has me in the mood to spill some of my very own beans right here. It’s not just about allowing oneself an occasional indulgence, but also very much about flying in the face of the whole “indie cred” and anti-consumerism movement that is so noble, but oh so difficult to be true to. Be gentle.
