Wow, today went quickly and inefficiently. I woke up, cleaned, then went out with my parents around town for the better part of the day, finding some useful things. Then pretty much right after traveled down to Nicole's to meet some of her friends and generally just hang out and be comfortable. That was quite nice I must say...we dragged with some mexicans who thought their car was all that. It really wasn't and they just sucked at life, lol. Then I started thinking about things... Just in case anybody doesn't know, I'm biased against alcohol, and I have very good reasons to be so. Anyways, even with my pure hatred of it, I won't tell my friends what to do, as in I won't preach and say "don't drink because I said so" or that it's bad, etc. Because they know it's bad, yet continue on their blissful merry way. Besides, who am I to tell them what to do in life - that's the point. I may hate, but I'm still tolerant to a degree. They can drink whatever whenever, just as long as I'm not in their presence. If I am, then there might be dire circumstances: ie. things said that hurt, etc. Now, that's my friends. Now what if my gf were to do so? I would say the same, adding that we (I) would start "drifting apart," as it were. Effectively I'm asking them to make a choice: Which is more important - alcohol or me. Now, I think that seems most fair. However I want opinions. What do you all out there think of my stance on things? And don't ask about my reasons. Only a couple select that I can trust to the core I allowed to know. That's all.
