Hippies check in
I am often called a hippie in my conservative hometown for my progressive politics and free-spirited attitude. I like to wear cork sandals, hemp, 60's Rock t-shirts, listen to 60's rock, and smoke a little weed. Actually I haven't smoked in over a year.

How about you?

:hippie:

Edited on Mon Dec-15-03 10:31 AM by bearfan454
I am 47 now. I still do some hippie things. You know ? It's different when you are a grandparent. I've been known to go on skyrides now and then.

10. I guess I am, though I cut my hair
used to hang to my ass, and I could name that tune in three notes. Roll the tightest joints, score the best dope. A true long haired hippie freak.

13. sweet
I think being a hippie is having a free-spirited attitude and an open mind. nothing to do with drugs or long hair necessarily.

14. I was born too late ...
I was born in 1964, and come from a relatively conserviative background (family farmers). When I left the nest, I was told by many people that I was born about 10 years too late.

Cheers

18. Me too
I was born 20 years too late...

I'm a semi-hippy. How hippy I look varies depending on whether I'm wearing a hat and a long skirt or not. But I buy a lot of hemp (wearble and smokable ;) ), organic, and believe in many of the same things the hippy movement stood for.

You can be a hippy if you want. It's your state of mind.

15. Hippiness is a way of life.
I'm a member of H.I.D.--Hippies in Disguise. :-)

I don't smoke dope or anything but I recycle, eat organic, love the earth and little animals and hate G.W. I'm 49, so I remember the good old days of Peace, Love and Rock and Roll.

:hippie: :hippie: :hippie: :hippie: :hippie: :hippie: :hippie:

21. Acid is groovy
No, I won't go on with that train of thought.

I have been a hippie at heart since age 16. About age 30, friend "A" became aware that friend "B" and I had both started collecting curio and relic firearms, mostly old military rifles.

Friend "A" thought this seemed odd, and exclaimed "But I thought we were hippies!"

Friend "B" replied without hesitation "We're hippies with guns!"

:smoke:

26. Oh yeah! I don't shave my legs in the winter!
I have psoriasis and shaving irritates it, so I take a break from it. Oh, and yes, I guess you could call me a hippie for my radical left-wing political views and my rather relaxed clothing style.
