so many questions

[SgtD]

haha so true, and thanks to everyone for such welcoming and honest remarks. I am pretty good at blocking out shitty people anyways (if they don't understand). My parents were so excited when I was talking to them about it.. that makes me sound like I was some alcoholic druggie, which rest assured I was not. I think they just were really proud of this decision to better my life.

And yes, Canada is pretty rad..very laid back. Congrats on the marriage and moving here, I will be in the same proximity as you.. I am moving to Mississauga in exactly 1 month, which if you arent aware it right beside Toronto!

Thanks again!

My parent's were supportive as well, but my dad was a bit offended I guess, because we have a huge wineyard...

haha, wow what a small world. Only the wedding is going to be in Toronto, I'm moving to Mississauga, my fiancé lives there. Why are you moving there?

[xupthepunxx]

haha thats some what funny.. but good they were supportive!

weeeeiiirddd lol, uhm I am moving there because I am in love with the city (more so toronto) and I am looking to just get away from my current location. My roomate is going back to school in the area and needed a roomate and as did I, soooo here we are. July 3rd cant wait!

i see. I bet we'll see each other at random shows in the area. I really hope I'll have the opportunity to go to a show in the three weeks I'm spending there this summer.
There are some cool record stores in TO too, if you're into vinyl.

Thanks I appreciate your opinion/advice..
oh and scoughing, I meant like people kind of looking down upon it or thinking its a joke or that I won't last type deal.
s'all good, thanks again man!

Are you out of your mind? I'm personally SO PROUD of people consciously giving up on drugs and any bad habits in general. All the more pride if they've been through some twists in their lives but made the right (subjectively, of course!) decision. I mean look at yourself.... straight edge scene definitely needs more HOT girls like yourself ***that like comics AND __star wars__ AAAAND take interest in nerding***.

sorry to break up the chat, but I have more questions lol

I have been doing lots of reading and what not, I get caffiene is considered a drug but I know a few sxe people who still have a morning coffee, is it kind of do whats right for you, or is that going against what sxe stands for?

Its more a case of people not really taking the time to look at it and evaluating it, like you are taking the time to ask questions. Many people don't bother, most people who are edge and drink caffeine have never really questioned why using that drug is ok and yet others aren't, in fact many don't even think it is a drug and just have a skewed perception of how its completely different based on the fact it is so socially acceptable.

But yes, it is definitely about what is right for you in the first instance, if you examine the use of caffeine and have no issues with it then i would definitely suggest feeling free with that thought and not forcing yourself to think something you don't believe in order to fit a predefined mold...like a stance against recreational drug use. I think if you don't think its wrong and don't agree with those that say it is then you will always be better off following what you think but remember to question yourself and your reasoning. If someone does say they are edge and yet uses caffeine then you have to wonder how they reconcile and marry up the action of using a drug with the belief that recreational drugs are wrong.

Bottom line is, don't give up caffeine because straightedge says to, give it up because you believe its unneccesary and you don't want to use it...same goes for all drugs really, being honest with what you think and who you are is definitely the most important factor in doing whats right for you. It really doesnt matter if you go against straightedge so much, what i believe matters more is going against yourself. Straightedge won't fit everyone and will fail to describe all people but its a great place to source inspiration and find people that question things enough to sway from the accepted norm.
