I'm torn. I've been making the rounds posting on other people's web sites, because it is actually easier than writing stuff on my own site. Most of the time I feel bad when people actually reply, because I really hate to increase the amount of email and comments other people feel they have to reply too. I would like to live my life based on the golden rule "Do unto others as you would have tehm do unto you", but in my expereince, that just gets you hated. I would never expect someone to reply to every email I send them... it's unreal. Yet if I don't reply, I am an anti-social jerk. If I organize a get together I try to make it as affordale as possible because it's just plain crazy to spend over 3,000 yen for a night with friends (the real value is in meeting the friends, it doesn't matter where it is) Yet people complain about my choice... saying it is somehow not classy enough... although I think that all of us being there makes it at least as classy as we are. I would rather that people spend less time making sure their kitchen floor is mopped every day, and instead spend some time doing something productive together, yet Tomoe gets mad if I don't choose to mop instead of go out with her... It's a crazy world we live in. Or maybe my golden rule is "expect other people to do to me as I want to do to them"
yeah, that's why i've mopped my kitchen floor just once in the year i've been living here. I find that just using slippers is far easier and more comfortable on those cold winter nights.
