*sigh, where we go again
Wow. I don't know what provoked this, it sounds like maybe Spence had a bad night last night or something, sorry dude. I saw 'Serenity' with Kayla for the second time and then hung out at my house watching 'Gilmore Girls,' I know, I know, I need to retire and give up this life of partying. I think it's a really foolish thing to start shunning the people who you THINK you know are using. For instance, I wasn't on that list. When have I ever preferred getting drunk to hanging out with people? Never. Yet I feel like I'm being accused. I have never/WILL never smoke anything in my life. But you don't see me getting pissed off at people who do. Ironically though, the people who always DID go rip shit, as some are going now, allllll ended up dabbling in something. You know, pot, cloves, and of course, the occasional acid (?!?!)
You wonder why all of you managed to stay off drugs and alcohol?? IT WASN'T AROUND! It's so easy to say you're straight edge when you've denied pot twice. Try every fucking weekend. Plus, it always seems the people who ARE using never seem to suffer any consequences. This is usually when the straight edge people get mad and start making everybody who has used feel bad about themselves in order to provide the only plus they're getting for choosing not to use. Don't do it. You're just going to piss people off. And then they're really not going to wanna hang out with you? Hmm, get buzzed or get prosecuted? Wow, tough choice. So a viscious cycle thus commences.
My policy to my friends who are trying stuff? Be safe. I'm not their mother, I'm not going to lecture them. I have other people to hang out with than just one group of people who prefer to use that night. The only time I'll ever care is if someone is in serious danger. Personally, I don't have a problem with the consumption of alcohol, considering I'm a French major and we've taken quizzes on wines from different regions. Although partying it up every weekend and consuming gluttonous amounts of alcohol isn't really my style. I think alcohol should be able to be enjoyed by everyone and NOT BE ABUSED. Which means, don't consume it merely to be drunk. I'm not much of a fan of hard liquor myself. So, whatever. Maybe that makes me the kind of person who doesn't enjoy good clean fun. Maybe I don't make the magic list. And, for the record, if someone's idea of good clean fun is shunning other people? Well, frankly, I'd rather just read a good book.
