Not to mention kissing a stuffed moose, shaving half my mates hair off, wearing lipstick & spending the night in a bush... The only way I could ever do those things is if I was under the effects of copious amounts of alcohol.

I'm glad & proud I've done those things because it shows I'm living a bit, it's all crazy, immature & stupid but it's great fun & now is the time to do it. I think a lot of the people around here follow some kind of fashion to elevate their image [posers] & wouldn't dream of doing something so bizarre, especially in public. Those kind of people, imho, do not live. I've come to the conclusion that at this age it's all about living & having fun, screw trying to be cool & trendy. I can do the straight edge stuff, [sit at home with a pipe & paper] when I have a family & settled down.

Just my 2p
