SLE/ESTp straight edge vs try anything once attitude

[Ezra]

Which is more preferable to you?

Personally, I take a relatively moderate approach. In terms of drugs, I've only gone as a far as E, and wouldn't go any further, especially not at this time in my life. In terms of drink, I drink about as much as your average uni student - probably less.

I like it when you'll try anything once, you know, and then after you try it you criticize it until it's funny.

I'm going to see my SLE Mom today for Jesus/Rabbit Day... She's been trying a lot of new age artsy fartsy bullshit recently, because she's an early 70s hippie and she's getting back into it... She's going to rip on it.

My old SLE boarding school roommate was a crazy bastard... Always on the mescaline. (He was from the Turks and Caicos, and said it was normal there... But somehow I doubt it.)

I see the straight-edge SLE at the gym almost everytime I go... I look at them and sense that they're totally empty.

I don't think this is type-related. I've known squeaky clean SLEs as well as hedonistic ones.

I agree that it's not type related, but I didn't think it was in the first place. I was just interested to know how other SLEs lived their lives.

I would just add that I started out an athlete (basketball, bmx, skateboarding) when young, and slowly turned to shit with the drug use. Still kind of skate, but not much. I never took up the athletic lifestyle like I once did. I'm more straight edge/healthy, but not in a gymrat/active sort of way.

Yeah, drugs do subtle things to your mindset without you even realising. Like slow spiralling depression/lack of zest for life. Not cool.

burn you out, but so can too much of anything.

[Ezra]

Haha, funny you guys replied in a different way to how I expected people to reply. You saw it as my asking "would you rather get with a straight edge or 'try anything' SLE?", when what I actually meant was "SLEs, do you prefer to be straight edge or 'try anything one'?"

Don't stop though, I want to see responses from both sides now.

I like it when you'll try anything once, you know, and then after you try it you criticize it until it's funny.

So true.

Empty as in boring/soulless?

Judgemental attitude is out. Control of actions is in.

I'm one of the most judgemental bastards on earth.

That's not quite true.

But I am judgemental.

Smart girl. Stay away from the drugs. It destroys friendships & relationships. =/
