So yesterday I learned of a new subculture I knew nothing about: Fregans. My friend Juana was telling me about a friend of her's from college who, was born/lived on 5th Avenue and in Palm Beach, and is now a Fregan. From what I can gather from both Juana and Urban Dictionary, a Fregan is a person who is an Anarchist, most likely doesn't have a job, dumpster dives, is a vegan only when food is NOT coming out of a dumpster or isn't free, doesn't believe in soap, and most likely is a trust fund baby rebelling against their wealthy parents. Oh, and they hitch hike and what not to travel. And stay in communal houses. And believe waste lives off waste or feeds off of it or something. Oh, and I also learned that Chicago has squatters. So anyways, in the midst of this rebellion, these folks don't vote. Gah. If you want to eat food you find in a dumpster and and not shower, fine, but at least vote. Or spend your trust funds on helping the homeless, who, you know, actually have to scavenge for food, not by choice.
Am I being to narrow-minded? Probably. But its how I feel. In case you didn't know today is the last day to register to vote. So go vote. Now! Even all you Fregans.
And then come November 4...ya'll better BARAK AND ROLL! Obama/Biden 2008.
xoxo

Hmm, interesting. So, a Fregan sounds very similar to a Squatter, correct?
Yeah, there are quite a few in Chicago . . . but even more in NYC.
