well to be honest, i don't ever regret trying drugs and doing e. it's just a part of my life that i again learned things the hard way. however, if my parents were more involved in my life, i think that i would've rolled a lot less and probably wouldn't have ended up spending all the money i did on drugs. raverboy

Much easier to do drugs and stuff in privacy.

People react to you differently based on what you know. They have conceptions of what 'look' and 'personality' they join with certain hobbies/pasttimes. For instance, I say I'm a guy. No problem. I say I'm 21 years old. No problem. Then I say I play clarinet often and it's a hobbie I love. BAM. That's when people start shaping the image in their heads of what I look like, what my personality is, what I do with my spare time. I tell them I like watching anime, the image gets 'clearer' (although they have no idea if it's true or not, they start generalizing and let false stereotypes take over).

Sucks. So now I use all sorts of information JUST TO GET a desired reaction from people and then laugh about it.

For example . . .

When my ex and I were an exclusive couple the reactions she'd get were priceless. She works at a hair salon and does girls and guys cuts (prefers guys cuts cause she says they're fast, fun - with clippers - and that the guys are just in general less of a pain). And she's hot. So naturally her guy clients are going to hold conversations and try to flirt and ask her out. So as she's talking to them she usually ends up telling them that she loves music and loves to sing. Then they ask if she has a boyfriend. She says yes, and he's a musician too! They ask what he does, and she says, "He plays clarinet."

Now take a moment to use YOUR imaginations to figure out what their responses to that was. (A hot girl, who has a boyfriend who's a clarinet player).

I tell you, she used to tell me the reactions and I would crack up! It was always, "Wow. You don't look like the kind of girl that would date a clarinet player. You look like someone who would date a drummer, or a guitar player or something. But not a clarinet player."

Just wanted to unleash that story. Stemmed from Billy's comment about I love drugs - I just dont like the way everyone treats me when they know I do them... ... and how it's the sad truth.
