reason 1,000,001 i’m sxe

Reason 1,000,001 that I’m straight edge would have to be the movie Requiem for a Dream which I watched tonight on my laptop connected to Iain’s monitor. This movie doesn’t have any of the lovable, cudly, heroin addicts that Trainspotting has. It just paints a horribly bleak picture of drug abuse from a couple of different perspectives. It’s one of the few movies that I can remember that has made me cringe and recoil in my seat. I suppose that one could dismiss the film’s graphic nature as being indiewood sensationalism, but Iain, who worked at a chemist’s during high school, recounted an anectdote of a women who literally tripped over her own small child to get to her mescaline tablets, which affirms that addiction is every bit as ugly as movies portray it.
Reason 1,000,002 would be giving myself less opportunities to dick over people I care about.
Reason 1,000,003 is that Marco drank more than enough for the both of us yesterday, though he was more comical than anything. And hey, who doesn’t want to hear a musical version of “The Owl and the Pussycat”?
