Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Boffins = Scientists, in British.

Huh. Specifically? I always assumed it was more generically brainiacs, eggheads, etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh. Specifically? I always assumed it was more generically brainiacs, eggheads, etc.

It is both, according to Wikipedia.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I always thought boffins were a species of flightless bird.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I think those are puffins.

I always thought boffins were a species of flightless bird.

And Puffin Boffins are flightless scientists.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What are people doing this weekend?

Sadly, no E. working-PORTFOLIO-working-PORTFOLIO-PORTFOLIO-cleaning the house for Mom's arrival-ZOMG PORTFOLIO is pretty much my life for the next 5 days.

In HS, we did a hell of a lot of drinking - full-strength Everclear was legal in AK then, and man did we take advantage of that. A lot of pot (you can get some of the best strains up there), and I would baby-sit my friends who were on 'shrooms or LSD. Cocaine and heroin were incredibly hard to get all the way up there, so only the rich kids or the truly screwed-up had access.

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)

You never had the serotonin trough? That's the only drawback for me.

And Boffin Puffins is just dirty and wrong. Unless you're a puffin.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

The only kind of bad thing was not being able to get to sleep after (forgive my ignorance if that is what the seratonin trough is). But even that was kind of fun as I had company in my sleeplessness and we would get very silly.
