i think it wasn't so much about the drug.. more about the social thing. it gave us a reason. a reason to get out of bed at 4am (mushies are out! gotta beat all the other bastards!) and so on... the things we would do... drive half the length of the island... walk for half a day... i have memories and experiences of... people. happy people. or tired people. or whatever. good times of hanging out with these people... of antics we got up to... and... without drugs as the organizing principle... when it comes to socializing... i just ... don't.even cigarettes... when i was a smoker... i'd be outside having a smoke around every hour. as soon as i got up in the morning i'd make a pot of coffee and go outside and have several cigarettes and cups of coffee and read or talk to my dear dear dear dearest friend. here... i don't smoke. i.. haven't made friends with anyone in the building, really. but you can bet that if i was smoking like i was... wouldn't be more than 3 weeks and i'd have found my smoking bud... someone to hang with me for 30 minutes or so in the morning... just like that. drugs... the ... organiser. organising principle.
even now... the pub.
sigh.
