I was looking at pictures of the family with my mom one day and I just shook my head when I saw myself and said, "For most people, the camera adds ten pounds ... on me, it adds three bra sizes."

Like Benjamin, I sometimes have cravings for an alcoholic drink. But I do not really like spirits. Gin and tonic doesn't do anything for me as well. What I truly dig is white beer and Hoegaarden is a master when it comes to its production.
By the way, what is the whole fuss about Corona? I think it tastes like water. _________________ Hillary Clinton is an acquired taste which I have clearly yet to acquire.

I can't believe I haven't answered this question yet. But anyway, I've done the occasional line or two of coke or crystal meth while out clubbing with friends, and I must confess that I might be tempted to have a little toot if someone just so happened to offer it to me on my way to the loo, but in no way would I describe myself as a drug abuser or addict b/c it's not a must have for me. I don't constantly crave it nor do I go out looking for a fix.
X is something I used to do back in my club-hopping days, but it really has no appeal to me whatsoever. Now that is a drug that can permanently screw up your mind.
Marijuana, nicotine, and alchohol are probably the only drugs that I use regularly or somewhat regularly, and I would say that nicotine is the one that's been more of an addiction and probable health hazard for me.

" alt="" border="0" /> I'm not sure why people like Coronas, either. I have to cut up and squeeze like three or four limes to even discern its taste.
Coronas also get me bloated right quick...

I'm boring. Never been addicted to any drugs except caffeine. However, when I was in school and taking courses like Biology for Non-Science Majors and Art History where a lot of memorization was involved, I used to have joints an hour or so before exams and quizzes. They helped me concentrate, ironically, and I did really well in those classes.

A happy trick of the light, in Uriel's case Sometimes I'm surprised when I see pictures of myself, too, because they can look different from what I see in the mirror every day. Must be a trick of the light, like you said. _________________ "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." ---- Groucho Marx
I sometimes like to smoke when it's warm and sunny. A couple of weeks ago that smoke-in-the-sun urge came back and I bought some tobacco. But when I got home I couldn't find my pipe. I bought the missing pipe in 9th grade when my class went to Copenhagen and there was a period in High School when I occasionally smoked it. Until last week, when I bought a new pipe, I hadn't smoked one in years. So now when I come home from work I sometimes go out on my balcony and puff a little. Last summer I smoked vicious cigarettes after work.
I don't smoke, rarely drink (and I think beer and unmixed liquor taste like ass), but am very addicted to caffeine. As for caffeine, I unfortunately have way too much of a caffeine tolerance at the time, so normal quantities of it do little except maybe make me less sleepy, even though sometimes I am far too sensitive to caffeine due to being somewhat hypomanic to begin with...
Never stuck a ciggie in my mouth and I'd like to keep it that way. Likewise with dope. I know many a person who started on dope and ended up becoming smokers as well. Never tried hard drugs either. Just the occasional grog, and these days, I'm a cadbury. I don't mind beer and wine down south and rum in the tropics. Hate whisky though. Coffee - never drank coffee until a few years ago and then, it might be a cup a day but I haven't drank coffee in so long.
I've never really been into drugs or really liked the idea of taking them. I see them as a cheat and I've seen enough people get trapped by them. Besides, I know if I start, I probably won't stop.
I think it's Lindt that makes this absolutely divine white chocolate and coconut bar ... you can just feel the cocoa butter melting in your mouth and heading straight for your adipose tissue!
I've never seen this here. I must try their chilli and cherry dark chocolate though. The plain balls are amazing in themselves.

I used to drink a cup of coffee a day at work, and then I switched to tea in order to avoid the inevitable crash. But I haven't been drinking either since I was laid off last November. Until a few days ago, the only caffeine I'd had was whatever there is in chocolate. But in the airport on the way back to SF from Seattle, my brother bought a mocha something-or-other that he then decided he shouldn't drink because he has high blood pressure. So I volunteered to drink it, as I hate seeing stuff go to waste. It was a mistake, because I wasn't even sleepy before I drank it (I only used to drink it at work when I couldn't stay awake otherwise) and so I just got a very strong buzz. It felt awful. Never again!
