Culture Construction Kit

if you can't stand the culture you are in, if the mores and assumptions that surround you are detrimental to your own mental health, you must create your own culture. Great idea. I hereby pronounce myself a culture of one.

And I replied in a comment:
Woo fucking hoo! I really needed to hear that right now.

My culture: Being of use matters. Making and/or appreciating beauty matters. Curiosity matters. Politeness matters. (Miss Manners is the Secretary of State in my culture.) Communication matters. Not taking yourself too seriously is encouraged. Please confine dishing/whinging to designated areas. Thank you.

Hrum. Seems like the culture I live in. But I can only think of about a dozen of us who actually interact regularly.

Doubt it; none of them are alt.poly people, at any rate. I don't interact much with most alt.poly people except in ap and lj.
