You Might Think Less of Me
So, this weekend was ECU's graduation. I was out of town, had a 100+ degree fever, became a hermit and so missed the news. Apparently some kids (19-20's year-old kiddies) from ECU got their little grubby mitts on some tainted 2C-E, which is like ecstasy, I guess. Anyway, eight of them had a violent reaction. One girl died. Another guy was arrested when he visited one of the survivors in the hospital because he was the one that gave them all the drug.
So I found out all about this via Facebook. Turns out I knew the girl. Three or so semesters ago she was a Freshman. One of my friends hung out with her, I didn't. I wasn't rude to her, but I did always find somewhere else to be if she or her friends came around. I guess I was already too old for them because any time they were around it was beyond difficult to not sigh, roll my eyes or pop out some remark that probably wouldn't have been very nice.
Look, there are two groups that I can't stand: Hippies and Party Kids. The recently deceased and her friends were Party Kids. They usually looked like they came out of Hot Topic, decked out from head-to-toe in the store's catalogue, piercings sticking out of each orifice and were of the annoying bi-curious-cause-it's-fun breed. When I heard she died, right away I thought of her friend and wondered if he might have been one of the eight that were hospitalized. I mean, I secretly made fun of him a lot, but I wished them no ill will. Turns out he's the guy that got arrested.... Yeah, let that sink in.
Why might you think I'm a bad person? Well, after my initial moment of reflection, hoping Stacy is peaceful or moved on to wherever we happen to go after we're done here, I couldn't really bring myself to discuss her with my friends on FB. Everyone is saying how much she'll be missed and how they will miss her beautiful smile and optimistic positivity. No one is saying what I'm thinking, or what I have been thinking since I heard the news. Those kids fucking knew better. Holy shit, when we're in kindergarten we begin drug education. What the fuck is Red Ribbon Week for if kids still do stupid shit like what happened this weekend?
And because I am a dork I looked up 2C-E because I have never even heard of this. This is one of things that popped up: www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php
Yeah, I'm done. It's sad that this happened and I feel for her family. It's horrible that all of those other kids are in the hospital and two might die as of now. It sucks that the other kid basically screwed the pooch and will see some jail time for this, and he has a life on his conscience now. But yeah, if that link did it's job and took you to the thread with stupid 2C-E enthusiasts on it then maybe you'll understand me. You don't have to agree. I wonder how many of those people are dead that posted. Maybe this is just a form of population control? Sorry if that's tasteless but I can't sympathize too much with people who do stupid shit. I can't.
So, rest in peace, Stacy. You were a brat, but I got that you were young and what not. It's a shame that this happened to you. Hopefully next time around you won't make such shitty decisions.
