Clean for what...three days now...wow, isn't /that/ amazing. On the third day my cravings always disappear it seems.

I actually had fun with my friends last night, no drugs whatsoever at all. That hasn't happened in forever, and I guess I've somewhat forgotten that it can be done.

I think I feel content in a sense. The only reason I really like smoking herb is because there's absolutely nothing better to do around here (And don't be telling me that's just an excuse for being lazy...it really isn't. I live out in the middle of nowhere, and since I don't have a license it's somewhat difficult to find things to do outside of this house)...and what do i have to do in this house? Work, music, exercise, games, herb. Really now, there's barely anything wrong with that at all, considering that fact I can hang out with my friends whenever i want during the week/weekends. I guess the only thing that I want that's not satisfied is companionship. And you know...some people never find that, so I probably shouldn't stress so much over it especially when as soon as I get out of this area there will be many more new people to meet.

While I'm here, I should enjoy what I have. A few friends, all the gaming in the world, the music, nature, and yes, drugs. Because someday I might have even less of these things satisfied, and to squander them now would be foolish.

Also, Noxi, my quiet dream is to learn much on botany and have a large herb/flower garden. There's nothing really stopping me, considering the fact that no one in my family ever uses all of the garden we have setup anymore. I just need to buy the seeds/herbs that I want this spring and plant them. Learning from nature is about the only way to learn how to be a solitary druid, so it's a step in more than one direction I want.

I also want an herb garden because it's really hard to identify anything when you're just walking around a forest unless you actually had every single herb in a handbook memorized. The only one I managed to identify last year was mandrake, and it's all over the place. Poisonous if you use it when it's green. Seems like the deer don't mind it then, however.

I was really hoping I'd get lucky and find a wormwood tree but that's pretty much impossible...they were really only introduced in California supposedly. Absinthe would be something really neat to try out.

absinthe is really great. My friends and I ordered some not long ago from overseas. Its really strong though.

Of course it's strong, gotta use grain alcohol when you soak the wormwood in it :P

I'm pretty sure it's a mild hallucinogen, isn't it?

You cant quit one drug and start another.

-chuckles- Jen jen, I don't have access to absinthe. If there was a wormwood tree I'd probably make a single batch of the stuff. There's not...I was just making conversation with rhyian over there :P

I haven't quit anything either...I've just slowed down tremendously on consumption.

Which is a very good thing, really.

Don't think you're being cute. I'm not 12. I get enough patronizing shit at work.

You could face serious charges for even having the stuff if you ever got it.

-smirk- Go to Canada if you're serious. CHill.

Wormwood...and absinthe

Absinthe drives you crazy. Literally. Wormwood is poisonous. Making Absinthe is especially dangerous as you don't really know the exact proportions you need.
I, personally, advise against Absinthe any more often than one shotglass, once, to see what it tastes like.
*shrugs*
But it's good that you're happy.
