...Guys, I think I'm almost straight edge.

I mean, I don't have a problem with drinking or whatever in general... but when I hang out with friends and the cigarettes/alcohol come(s) out, I find excuses to leave. I mean, I have a legit reason for not wanting to be around cigarettes- smoke could destroy my voice, and I don't want to take any chances with that because it's everything for what I do. But people being drunk weirds me out too. I don't think any less of people who do it, but... it's very much not my scene. And once people start getting drunk, I invariably find an excuse to leave. And if drugs are involved, I will get the hell out of there... if I was there in the first place.

Like I said, I think I'm almost straight edge.

I say "almost" because, while drinking/smoking/drugs freak me out... like hell would I give up intimacy just to be a perfect little goody two shoes. That's just a massive no. I haven't even been doing it for that long, but. No.

Anyway. That was my Musing of the Day. Thought you all should know.  :D

Lol, I googled "straight edge" because I didn't know what it was, and apparently I fit wikipedia's definition of it to a T, right down to being vegan and not using caffeine.

I don't think it counts unless you are actively trying to be that, though.

Whoa, you also gotta be vegan and not use caffeine? I didn't know that part of it... I like meat too much, and there's technically caffeine in chocolate. Ain't nobody takin' me away from my chocolate. XD

But yeah, you're the second person to voice the opinion of "you're not really straight edge unless you're trying to be" though, and... I pretty much agree with you there. I'm not really trying to be straight edge anyway... I just never noticed just how close to the general definition of it I am before. XD
