I accept the term hippie, because sometimes people need to figure out where you fit. I'm just a long hair Appliachian kid who has distain for shaving. Admittedly I tragically fall into the stereotypes pretty often,but people 'on the scene' are too 'heady' for me. It's like its just another way to gain acceptence, not have people accep you for who you are.

I like to say groovy, for fun, just because it makes people laugh when I say it with a hint of sarcasm.
