I just got home from a small party at a co-workers house. It was alright, they were glad to see me and all but this being a small college town, everyone was getting hammered. I'm not the straight edge type who thinks all drinkers are the scum of the earth: I don't drink, that's it.
It's not that anyone was being mean or rude and I didn't feel "above it all", I felt more like I was too outside of it all. That stuff wasn't my scene when I was 17, not when I turned 21, and still not at the age of 26.
Now I could go on and on as to why I don't drink: don't like much alcohol, got buzzed once and hated it, saw/read about so many of my musical and literary heros crashing and burning on the sauce, etc.
I guess the main reason why I'm feeling really down is that I know I'm going to have a real difficult time trying to find a girlfriend who can have fun without drinking, or at least with a light buzz or whatever. One of my coworkers told me that both he and his fiance aren't into drinking that heavily either. He's a lucky man.
So I just got in my car, put on Deftones' cover of "Simple Man", belted up and took off. I never fit into the buzz culture scene in high school, college, or beyond. It just ain't me babe, it' ain't me.

Then the saw comes. They saw off a little flap so the laser can get to your actual eye. when the flap is made, they use a little pick to open it up and everything gets blurry. They put in a milky drop to make your pupils dialate, then they turn on the laser.
Repeat next eye.
It was like every medical nightmare I've ever had and totally fucking awesome at the same time (in a sick masochistic sort of way). I highly recommend it.
And I understand what you're saying about drinking. I'm not really a heavy drinker, and I hate being drunk. I do enjoy drinking and like drinking socially, but I would never want to go to a "kegger" or any of that. It was never really my scene either.
I am horribly tired and alittle frustrated(high school memories flaring up *sigh*)
so the reply i sent is less than professional but check it out in umm ugly ducklings.
perhaps you agree and understand?
