Avatar Caused Me To...

[caveman]

Obviously Avatar has affected so many of us. But just exactly how? Did you stop doing anything you otherwise did all the time? Did you start something or change something that you otherwise would have thought unlikely? What are some of the things Avatar caused you to do?

Me,

I stopped eating food. I nearly cut calories to less than half of what I would normally eat. Not sure why, but I felt guilty for some reason.

Now I eat only natural food, except Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches, which is now a staple. The reason: I think I thought the jelly was something I would find on Pandora :D

I started listening to Enya...

Ohh man my list would go on forever...just thinking through an average day, all the little things...

[Devourment]

Let me tell you that you shouldn't be listening to Enya. That woman is evil.

But yeah, glad it's had a positive effect on you.

hahahaha what can I say, its soothing...

[Devourment]

If you want soothing, this is what you should be listening to.

Planxty – Baneasa's Green Glade – Free listening at Last.fm
Click the music player on the upper right of the screen, it took me forever to find this song ><.

But yeah, celtic folk doesn't get any more soothing or well played than Planxty.

The first thing Avatar inspired me to do was get ready for the blu-ray release. I didn't have a HDTV or a blu-ray player or even a sound system. So, I bought a 32" 1080p LCD TV, a PS3 for blu-rays(and video games of course) and a soundbar(the room setup makes it difficult to run surround sound not to mention the price). I didn't go into debt for this so that's good. Secondly, every electronic device I own has a Avatar background on it.

Now for the important stuff: Recently I stopped drinking soda and eating fast food. For me, this is a HUGE deal. I usually would eat fast food 3 to 4 times a week and have 2 to 3 soda's a day. I haven't eaten fast food for a week or had soda for almost five days. Surprisingly, I don't miss it at all. I did this because, like caveman, I felt guilty. Also, all of that stuff has a negative impact on the environment. This brings me to my next personal change. I have a renewed love for the earth. I feel compelled to start protecting the environment. So, once I'm out of college, and over summer break, I plan to volunteer some of my time to help clean up the local environment. I have started working on a plan to do this. I've also started recycling more.

P.S. I pretty much live on PBJ sandwiches lol

It uses less energy because the water isn't heated. It's better for the environment which is why it's attributed to Avatar.
