Day Three, Your views on alcohol and drugs:
My view is... complicated, I suppose. I didn't drink until sophomore year of college. I've smoked weed exactly once in my life (fun, but not worth it). I drank occasionally during college, almost never to ridiculous excess (I've had one hangover), partially because I was witness to those who did-every few weeks when I was up from 2am-5am caring for them. I don't have an issue with other people drinking, especially if they aren't drinking too much-several of my friends drink often-it's not my favorite part about them, but whatever.
I drink occasionally, but I've had something of a realization that I shouldn't be drinking much (even as much as I did in college...which was once a week, maaaybeee), as in every few months, I guess, since my Quaker beliefs advocate drinking rarely if at all. So I'll have a hard cider occasionally. Also? i am trying to lose weight and alcohol calories really don't help that. So I don't drink for that reason too.
I had a drink at a restaurant (didn't even have to pay for it! Nice older gay man paid for me and the person I was meeting) and was buzzed because of it. That was 3 weeks ago. It was the first drink I'd had in like 2-3 months.
Anyways, I have a bunch of reasons for passively avoiding drinking-quakerish, diet, and also, not liking my behavior when I'm drunk. I get FAR too needy. ...We'll just leave it at that.
Also? The mood icon is for the temps here. Reached 93 degrees Fahrenheit after last week highs of ~55. Blegh.
But also? I'm fucking hot as hell. Because I said so.
life,
