Not that I ever said I cared about being cool though I'm the opposite... I have discarded all hope of looking for life as a "cool" person, and I don't want to either. I, in fact, wish to reveal my true self in real life... and therefore know those who are my real friends... not that I have many friends to begin with, but I'm tired of being forgotten, or being abandoned or anything. This year I've been planning for a long time to stand up, and feel free to say who I am. I'll then live my life the way I would, without letting other's opinions matter to me anymore. Which is why I'm talking about getting a pony shirt on other threads here... though I've been planning it since way before I was a brony. A good ol' MLP shirt with some hearts, and maybe coloured purple should simply be all I need to chase off my friends who only care about looks and popularity, and who treat me like dirt. Sorry for the long post and all, I just have a lot to say I feel needs to be said to reply to your post... and also I completely agree with you on the cool kids are douchebags part. I know that far too well. Thanks for reading the long post, anyways.
1.) I have consumed alcohol before 2.) Never have and never will 3.) Same as number 2 4.) Nope! I will never do that! 5.) I am not a vegan 3/5 So, I guess for the most part, I am sort of straight edge at times.
Well, let's see. Do I do the following? 1- Never drinking any form of alcohol.> I rarely ever drink alcohol. The only time I do is in certain social settings and when I do not have to drive. The latter is so infrequent. I'd say I average 1 alcoholic beverage a year, but to give you an idea: Between July of 2009 and June of 2011 I had no alcoholic beverages, and on both dates I believe I only consumed three. I've never been drunk. I just don't care for alcohol. I don't like the taste. The buzz I get from it is okay, but I prefer my "buzz" coming from a caffeinated beverage. 2- Never smoking.> I don't smoke. I abhor smoking. I lost two family members because of it. I can't even stand cigarette smoke if I'm around someone else that's smoking. 3- No taking of drugs for recreational use.> Caffeine is the only one, if you count that. 4- No promiscuous sex.> I do not participate in this activity. 5- being a vegan( some people do it, others don't, it depends on the person)> I'm not a vegan. So, I guess I get a 2 out of 5.
1- I lose here so bad, LOL 2- Check 3- Check 4- Check, technically, since I'm dedicated to my boyfriend 5- Nah, I can't give up meat, love it too much xD I guess I'm sorta straight edge~? not really, I'm too crazy to be, LOL. My BF fits all of the traits except being a vegetarian, and has actually vowed against drugs and alcohol for life, so I guess he's a textbook straight-edge guy! That being said, I don't mind if people are straight-edge as long as they aren't pushy about their opinions/morales. Even though I don't like drugs or tobacco personally I wouldn't really force that stance on anyone and respect their decision to do it~
1- The one time I drank alcohol it burned the most unholy taste into my tongue for hours. Although I think that's just what happens when you take a sip of Jimmy Dean straight from the bottle without any prior experience x_x 2- No. Although for some reason, I used to actually sort of like the smell. Of course, I also like the smell of gasoline... 3- Again, no. 4- I'm Christian, so... 5- I simultaneously abhor certain kinds of meat ("I'M EATING THE POOR LITTLE FISHIES EYES OH GOD"), but then there are some I just can't live without...so I guess I fail there. So 4/5. Yay.
1)i have to admit to you guys, i have a problem with alcohol, dont want to get into all the drama that i usualy do but i still drink, not because i love it but because i cant stop. 2)never smoke, or ever will smoke cigarets. 3)i already used many kinds of drugs, but after some problems and terrible abstinence crysis i stopped. so no more drugs for me, thanks. 4)i never did it, and dont plan to do it. 5)meat is something that is part of my diet and cant stop. so 2/5, im not suposed to be a straight edge XD.
1- Never drinking any form of alcohol. Oh no, alcohol runs in my family. I don't like it! It stinks! Alas, I fear I will be drawn into it.... and there's nothing that I can do.... /.\ 2- Never smoking Nope. Doesn't run in the family. And even if I did, my internal organs would crumble! 3- No taking of drugs for recreational use. Nothing.... not one. Well.... I do invoke caffeine when I'm not realising it... 4- No promiscuous sex Well! Even if I did, I don't think anyone would want to go with me. However, I am a little partial to the Leisure Suit Larry adventure games, if that counts as something.... 5- being a vegan( some people do it, others don't, it depends on the person) Oh dear. It's the opposite for me. I crave meat and leave vegetables alone. >.< So you can see, I'm rather messy even now.
I think you could say that anyone who used specific kinds of medications (although that wouldn't usually be for recreational use), smokes or ever drank tea, coffee, cola, energy drinks or any kind of alcohol (which I suppose counts as recreational) used drugs.
Drinking, I can count the drinks I've had on my hands which considering I'm 18 now seems not that bad, to be perfectly honest I still haven't found any good stuff. Smoking never have never will. Drugs, Now I'll be lying If I said - wait recreational use - Nope never, I got a load of medication though, man do I seem to get ill easily. promiscuous sex - well NO, end of. Vegan I better write this quick before my sister comes in and notices this, human evolved to eat meat she'll be ranting on about. I see nothing wrong with eating meat, It is the unethical production of it (battery farming ect) I have issues with hence we have free range food in out house!
1- Never drinking any form of alcohol. I drink occasionally to get drunk, but not often. I've been drunk probably a total of 8 times in my life, and those are the only times I've drank alcohol. I despise the taste and the feeling isn't that great. 2- Never smoking This I do not do. I see no point in smoking. There are literally zero benefits whatsoever. 3- No taking of drugs for recreational use. I smoke marijuana fairly regularly. Regularly being once every 2 weeks to a month. So a complete failure here. 4- No promiscuous sex Me being the way I am, there is no possible way I could ever even get myself to have promiscuous sex. My belief system is no sex before love. That's just me of course. 5- being a vegan( some people do it, others don't, it depends on the person) I hardly think this constitutes as straight-edge. It constitutes as damaging oneself, which is what I assume this is trying to avoid. I fail this one hard-core, but it shouldn't be included in this list IMO. 2/5. I'm not really straight-edge, but I don't particularly care. I practice moderation in the areas where I'm not. Temperance does wonders for everything in your life.
I really wish I could give some kind of advice for those of you suffering from alcohol problems, but since I've never had to deal with that kind of problem I wouldn't know what I'm talking about. Maybe you guys could try to get some help from a doctor, or a therapist? A therapist might sound excessive, but they may be able to help you figure out a healthy replacement habit, or determine why you feel the need to drink, and help eliminate that need. Even if that doesn't help, just keep in mind that everyone here at Everypony is rooting for you guys, don't be afraid to ask for help from us all. 1. I've had plenty of opportunities to drink, but I almost always turn them down. The couple of times I have actually drank it's been because I trusted the people I was with completely, and only in small amounts. 2. I don't smoke, and don't plan to, but I do like how smoke smells for some reason. 3. I've tried marijuana once, and I'm never trying it again. I had a terrible trip, I've literally never been so scared in my whole life. Luckily, I was with good friends at the time, who took care of me and calmed me down. I'm not trying to scare anybody out of it, as I consider it a personal decision, but if you do try it just make sure you're with friends you can trust. 4. Never have, so not a problem. 5. I tried being a vegetarian once... I gave up on the third day... 2/5. I'm ok with that.
Red = ePONYmous is guilty as charged. lol. Except the last one is a rarity for me. I drink the first two every day. I haven't had an energy drink in over a year though. > Pic Related:
Although my self control for alcohol suck I have always taken this as a lesson to never ever try anything else and I'm glad this feeling is strong. I know it's strong because I was at a party completely wasted with some good friends and I was offered pot. Even with my judgement about as impaired as it could possibly get, I turned it down.
1- I'm too old to underage drink. I enjoy a glass of scotch from time to time but my body breaks down alcohol too fast for me to get drunk. It's not a bad thing in my eyes 2- I have a box of cigars in my room stashed away only to be used in special occasions. 3- I tried acid once and I used to smoke marijuana back in high school. I'm not against pot at all and I advocate it. I just haven't used it since I was 17 (I'm 23 now) 4- I consider all my past encounters to be meaningful. Plus, I'm scared to death of STDs and when I do find that girl, I don't want that to hinder our relationship. 5- I'm around meat all day and I'll never stop eating meat. I believe in basic instincts and while it's been watered down quite a bit, it's a natural part of life So uh, 1/5 then I guess. I feel kinda bad now.
