Wow! I always just thought I was wierd! I was the only one of my friends who never even tried a cigarette, weed or anyother drugs. I also turned down dares and never did any of the bad stuff my friends did. That is not to say that I was a prude by any means lol I found alchohol but on my own meaning I drank because I discovered it and wanted to not because my friends presented it to me or encouraged me to. I was very careful with that because of my family’s history with alchohol and never got drunk and never drank emmotionally just socially. Any trouble I got into was my own ideas lol and we’re talking nothing bad at all really. Have you seen the wet paint video? More like that. Nothing that would cause anyone any harm or anything but a great deal of inconvienience 😈
It’s interesting that there seems to be a theme of this among us isn’t it. Especially considering we are renound for lacking impulse control. I wonder how that works then? Very interesting anyway. Especailly since it doesn’t sound like any of us are prudish or necessarlity against some of these things. Me for example, I would sit in the pot circle chatting with my friends out in our school’s field knowing that the teachers/principle could emmerge at any moment and didn’t really bat an eye. So it’s not that I had a problem with my friends doing it or was worried about getting in trouble at all it’s just that it’s not something I wanted for myself. I cared too much about the well being of my brain.
One time I lent a friend my car which my Mom and I shared and my friend returned it to our driveway and left when I wasn’t home. I didn’t tell me Mom I lent it cause she would be furious so when she assumed I had taken the car somewhere that afternoon I said yes. Well it turns out that when I was gone and my freind had returned the car my Mom decided to go to the store. When she got in the car it had been totally hot boxed and the radio was blaaaaaring a certain raunchy Ludacris song called Splash Waterfalls (I’m some of you of my age know this one lol) which was on my cd. Yes I love my some Luda lol) Anyway you can imagine her horror! 😆 Needless to say we had a big talk about peer pressure when she got home lol 🙄
