One time a guy offered me some vodka and cranberry juice in a plastic cup but I told him "no thanks!" Because my body is a temple. This was at a party. I may not have left with any girls that night, but I did leave with something far more rewarding: my sobriety.

That seems so heartfelt but this forum can be like the guy in front of a haunted house with an obvious human skin mask telling you it's OK inside, and you going "that sounds reasonable! I mean, dear, look at the artistry on that human skin, that is, without a doubt, masterful! You can trust a guy like that!"

Now I walk into the haunted house: Applewhite, did you have problems with alcohol before?

Well past 21 :)

Again, straight edge is a loaded term. It's militaristic, and it usually means a lot more than I do. It's just a convenient short hand for "no booze, no drugs, no smokes." In it's early punk days, it was a rally cry and I really never liked that. I never advertised it, never thought I was better.

Nope, as I said, I have no problem with others doing drugs or booze (I do have a problem with smoking, though, but I keep my mouth shut.) I don't want to tell others how to live their lives, nor do I want laws telling them how.

Nice catch!

I read Krazy Kat when it came out, straight in the newspaper, during my shifts at the textile factory, running back and forth under some machine we were never told the name of, but little Bobby referred to as "the eater of arms." It got Bobby next, ironically, starting with his head. I don't think the joke was lost on Bobby. We got extra rations that day!

sXe got real big around my senior year in highschool, right when I was getting into the local hardcore scene so I was around it alot. My ex-boyfriend got really mad at me for smoking a cigarette and snatched it out of my mouth threw it on the ground while crying, and I just stared at him. Then he got really famous playing in a Christian hardcore band while I went away to college. We hung out a few times after that, and he told me at one point that I had bipolar disorder because I didn't have Jesus in my life. Stopped talking to him after that. Anyway my point is sXe is dumb.

X is also relatively dangerous as people tend to take it before going out to clubs, and their internal temperature gauge can become very mixed up, and that when you hear about the kids dropping dead or unconscious.

Hello? Charlemagne?!
Straight edge is pretty dumb, but there are some great straight-edge hardcore bands like Gorilla Biscuits and Ten Yard Fight.

Please do not say these bands are bad because you will be wrong. Peace be upon you.

This is all true, but I never said anything about ecstasy? Isn't sXe a way to say straight-edge, or was that just around in the early 2000's?

Remember, I'm an old guy, so my "straight edge" days was Minor Threat, back in the 80s. I assumed you were talking about X from the context. My bad!

I honestly thought that I was going to start a thread where other people like me could trade stories, and boy oh boy oh boy did that not turn out like expected. Usually that story gets laughs when I tell it, but maybe I should stick to oral traditions!

Its because straight edge people are boring cunts who don't have any personality.

Also I've got a straight edge vegan atheist on my Facebook. It's amazing.

This reminds of a funny story, one time i took this girl home and just as things started heatin' up, she started just shaking her booty. She was shaking it so fast that it basically was a blur, and then out of no where she lifts off and starts ricocheting around the apt, just smashing into poo poo, hurtling from wall to wall. well i was frantically juking my pelvis and windmilling my dick around, looking for a point of entry but she had already ejected out a window and was tearing up everyth8ng in a 5 mile radius

I ran a car into a light pole, brought it down, and watch sparks shower across the road. Was T-boned by a kid who stole his father's car (no license) to impress his girlfriend, hit me, spun me around, and then into the light pole.

Neither of us were drinking, though!
