High school (graduated in 88) was mostly about drinking for me, but I also did whip-its (my friend's mom managed a cooking store!), acid a couple of times, and smoked a little pot. In college, my roommate and I did our fair share of E (OMG love- that is a dangerous drug as there was no downside I could see/feel), I tried coke a couple of times (hated it), and accidentally tried meth once (at a party where they said it was coke - I was an emotional wreck the next day).
It has been many many years since I did anything harder than alcohol and I plan to keep it that way. I guess I was a little wild? Here's hoping my baby boy is more like most of you Buffistas and not as interested in experimentation as his Mama was.
A hamster-themed hotel in Nantes, France, offers rooms and layouts inspired by hamster-cages. Rooms have hamster wheels, the food is all grains and seeds, the water comes out of hamster bottles, etc.
Also, the rooms smell like elderberries. Well, that and sawdust.
My school was a much bigger alcohol place than pot. I tend to think that might be true for many high schools (though, naturally not all, as Jesse pointed out above) then and now.
I think in my crowd, it was probably 50/50 -- but I just remember getting liquor as being a production -- you had to know someone, or risk buying at the liquor store, or whatever. To get a dime bag you just had to ask whoever between classes.

Huh. Specifically? I always assumed it was more generically brainiacs, eggheads, etc.
I have never even seen a hypothetical appeal to uppers. Yikes.
Just had the boss say nice things about my work. I'd love if this could turn into a permanent position, but it's way too early to tell.

It is both, according to Wikipedia.

And Puffin Boffins are flightless scientists.
