I travel around 28 miles each working day.
Oh and I flew in my car yesterday. |
I usually don't drive but I do on occasion when Tom's drunk or he doesn't feel like taking me somewhere XD;

No he's GREAT don't judge Tom! :( I like driving and I need practice because I'm a new driver so it's really a privilege when he lets me drive!

Cause I'm poor and the second I got my license I was afraid I was going to be forced onto my mom's insurance but now I live at school 9 months a year so we took the risk and it turns out they did try to force me onto the insurance so my mom had to change to a provider that was more accommodating to my circumstances. XD;
|
I actually haven't driven in awhile... blame a combination of the parents needing both cars and my inability to afford decent insurance. Not that I'd have anywhere to drive to anyway.
I actually never had a car throughout college, which might have been for the best since from what I heard, the parking enforcement officers there like to swoop in like vultures. |
I have been driving since 16/17 (whenever it is you can get your G1 in Ontario) but now in the UK I am thinking of taking driving lessons to learn how to drive a Standard car, and.. learning how to drive on the other side of the road without feeling confused haha.
|
I've been driving for two years, as I got my Learner's Permit when I was 15. :]
|
Omg Kura don't get into a crash driving on the wrong side of the road :(
|
Quote:
That's sad and all, but my question is, what the hell were the kids thinking getting into that car? |
Quote:
Anyway, about driving, I've not learned to drive yet and most likely never will. But hopefully I'll be living in a city for a long time so I shouldn't need to! |
Yeah I trusted my mom as a kid and if she said "I'm fine to drive" I would have believed her. I probably still would because she's never given me any reason not to XD;

Guys it's October now! :D |
October is the best month.
|
No December.
but my birthday is near Christmas so I have bias. :< |
My birthday is...in 24 hours! So I'm totally not biased when I tell everyone that I love October.
|
It's not quiiiiite October here where I live, but I can tell you October is pretty fun for me.
And no, it has nothing to do with alcohol. That tastes like poop. |
October IS the best month, cos it won Other Trivia's Birthday Race 4 times!
And Toujours, I'll be there for your celebration too. |
You obviously haven't tried rum yet.
Tom is OBSESSED with good beer. Like he goes and shops for homebrews and microbrews or whatever is this the right terminology? I think his beer tastes like dirt. Is alcohol synonymous with October? |
Well, there is Oktoberfest. But that's often not even held in October, for the most part...
|
Ahh October is here. Bad news is that midterm week is next week D: and good news is that HALLOWEEN is coming! I can't wait for that! ^_^
yay 200th post |
October marks the end of my High school career, I'm feeling really sentimental guys :(
EDIT: I LOVE BEER! Rum is also good, it makes me feel like a pirate when it's still in the bottle. I dunno it reminds me of one of my friends 16th dress-up party, I was a pirate. Spoiler:
|
I always mix it with coke. I had some on speak like a pirate day because pirates!
|
Beer and coke is a weird combo. Vodka, and coke, however... I've developed a weird liking for it since I started uni, probably because it's cheap and doesn't taste too horrible even if you use the most basic stuff there is.
|
NO NOT BEER AND COKE EW. I mean rum and coke!
And yeah I'm the same way with vodka and coke. If you're into drinking vodka is just an alcohol you should just have around, and I always have soda, so mixing the two is a quick way to drunkville! |
Stay away from open windows when you drink at uni, guys. I went to school with a guy who fell out of a third story window and got paralyzed from the waist down.
|
Woot! Gonna be spending my first Octoberfest in the UK this October. I love October <3 Halloween, Birthday, Anime Expo, Octoberfest.. it is gonna be a good month.
|
Vodka + Coke is da best. It's been a while that I've had that though. I only drink it at huge parties lmao.
|
I still like Apple Vodka and Mountain Dew, it always seems to be left at my house and if I run out it costs the same as normal vodka. It's like apple flavoured mountain dew, and you don't realise just how potent it is until later.
|
Quote:
anyways yeah, it's oktoberfest, because it's the only month (apart from Lent) we can relax in German class. :P Not because I find it gets easier, but the fooooood |

I quite enjoy Jello shots, but only ones with rum. The ones with vodka are disgusting, especially lime and vodka. Ew, just thinking about it makes me shudder. n_n;; My favorite is definitely watermelon with rum, followed by lime with rum. They're so good, ugh!
|
I tried to make jello shots with my friends once and failed miserably. They had SO MUCH ALCOHOL IN THEM OMG. Then we had dozens of leftover jello shots and no one wanted the nasty things.
Good times! |
I've never had one.. though.. I am very fond of my mojitos~~~~
|
I have to say Kura I absolutely can't imagine you having a jello shot hahaha. Idk why!
|
Quote:
-- I imagine that I would much rather have normal Jello or Jigglies rather than jello shots. But then again, I've never tried one to begin with, so it might be the only type of alcohol I'll even consider. :3 The most extreme I go with drinks is probably ice water or green tea (I know, I'm so badass with my disregard for safety) so drinks aren't that much of my interest. I hate soda, juice, sparkling water, pretty much anything that isn't water, which even I find kinda weird. Though alcohol(s) are a thing of interest to me. I like the smell of isopropanol, and I feel strangely at home when I see a chemical formula for an alcohol (or any carbon-based compound, for that matter). Tbh my favorite chemical groups based on feelings have to be the ketones and alcohols. annnnnnd I don't know what I'm talking about. |

Now I would never think about drinking now that I've read your post, Scarf. |

I despise drinking and smoking anyway; I'm being a good boy at college~lol

Tried a Chuck Norris Saturday night. Apparently it's a small shot of strawberry daiquiri in the center of some blue energy drink with ice in the name. Wasn't bad, but the alcohol taste was too strong even still.
Also, energy drinks and alcohol generally aren't the best thing to mix together. |

Oh right. I didn't really know that there were any massive adverse effects outside of the normal ones which you'd expect with alcohol... Maybe I should lay off on them a bit haha.
|
That wouldn't be a bad idea. You definitely feel more able to react to things than you really are.

She had to be revived twice in the ambulance. She survived (Thank god) and she no longer drinks energy drinks. Moral of the story, be REALLY careful when mixing depressants with stimulants. |
Yeah.. I've never drank an energy drink- especially not with alcohol. I've tried a sip of a few mixed drinks with them.. but yeah- I'm a major lightweight and I think this would happen to me so I dont risk it.
|
Quote:
And stay away from hot tubs. When drinking, I mean. Regular hot tub use is groovy. |
I kinda hate hot tubs. I've always found them really awkward. Not sure why but just... Eh. No ty.
|
Energy drinks are my best friend in college. Though I drink them sparingly so I'm not like MUST DRINK LOOOOTS. 1-2 cans every week is ok for me.
|

I LOVE HOT TUBS.
Somehow my boyfriend's apartment's pool is still open (it's October, apartment! you should be closed by now!) and I think I'm gonna try to talk him into going to the hot tub with me at least once more before they finally shut it down for winter haha. |
Not to mention, usually the bubbles in hot tubs are actually dead skin cells. No thanks.
|
Quote:
You know you want to. But, on the subject of hot tubs... I actually don't know if I've ever been in a proper one, independent of a swimming pool. The ones that are connected to plush pools, though, are all kinds of nice. All bubbly and whatnot. But even still, it's been absolutely ages since I've been in a pool of any kind, let alone a hot tub. I should probably rectify that at some point in the near future! |

Oh, so Birra is actually beer in Italian! Jon and I saw that word in some restaurant sign near Covent Garden next to several Spanish food names and I was like "...I don't know how that word even got there".

Here you go! Now.. if you're able to pronounce it, that's another story! |
Talkin' about alcohol on a Pokemon forum. There could be minors on this forum! You're corrupting their minds and shattering their innocence a-
Nah, just kidding, screw that. |
Talking about it with others of age, and encouraging the young ones to drink illegally are two different things.
That being said I was introduced to alcohol when I was very young; being Italian, there was always wine at the dinner table, and if guests were over, there was always an espresso or a shot of something being served and my dad would always ask if I wanted to try some. :c I can't handle strong alcohol though.. I don't like it very much. |

So... I herd yall liek Mudkipz.
http://turboimg.com/p/udj1349264083a.jpg Ingredients: 1/2 ounce Peach Schnapps (Peachtree) 1 ounce Blue Curacao (Dekuyper) 3/8 ounce Caramel Liquor (Southern Comfort) Directions: Pour the Blue Curacao into a double shot glass and then, using a bar spoon, layer the Peach Schnapps and Caramel Liquor on top in that order. |
I was introduced to alcohol at a young age also. Only it was pre-mixed drinks that everyone pooled for to have their 18 year old sibling buy for us.
Underage drinking in Australia is a real problem, I started drinking regularly when I was 13 and their aren't too many people younger than that around here that I know of. Also we aren't really encouraging, if anything I had a horrible time when I got home hung-over and having "the talks" with my parents. I had SO many talks which I'm only now starting to realise it was probably an excessive amount. Was I a bad child? Worth every cent, best 5 years of my life. <_< >_> |

Well, sometimes when I was older( not a kid really) my mom let me try sips of beer or wine. I never liked it much at all. It left me wondering why adults actually wanted to drink that stuff, lol. I never wanted to drink when I was a teenager or anything. Now I enjoy an occasional drink that I like. That drink in the picture looks very good, it's so pretty :O Id definately try it.
|
I accidentally drank a Rum & Coke at a party when I was a wee little child. :3
IT WAS IN A RED COKE CUP OK |

Tom said he's going to have me like beer. I said I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on nice beer that I'm not even going to enjoy to begin with because I need to adjust to the unique taste of beer and he said he would find it a worthwhile investment to buy me beer so I can get used to it. >_o

|
I just can't get out of the mindset where I see "bitter" as a universally negative adjective. He uses it all the time for the beers he loves and I'm like "WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DRINK SOMETHING IF IT'S BITTER?!"
|
Toujours just needs to find a nice light tasting and smooth beer like precious Peroni or Meteor.
|
The one he had me try that I didn't mind before was...dead guy ale?
http://www.rogue.com/beers/dead-guy-ale.php This one! |

I've read that the earlier you're exposed to alcohol the greater the chances that you'll become an addict. Glad I didn't take up the offers of any of my drunk uncles when I was younger.

Was 8, on trip back from Grandmas. Get thirsty, see water bottle. Think it's water. Drink deeply. Throwing up for rest of the way home. |
I probably had like champagne since I was 4. The worst was when dad was like "It's Lemoncello! It's nice. It's like lemonade" when I was like 10. >_> That stuff BURNED going down. Ugh.. never again.
|
Why would your parents lie to get you to drink alcohol? So strang hahaha
|
My dad likes to joke sometime hahaha. Maybe it was their way of making sure I'd never be an alcoholic?
|
I'm one of the few people who has actually never had alcohol. It's not that I think it's wrong to have a drink every now and then (so long as you don't get plastered) but, knowing myself, I'd probably be one of those people who takes one drink and winds up on another planet. And with all the driving I have to do, probably not a good idea. XD

edit: lol i love how much more active in this thread i become when alcohol is being discussed |

Also idk about anyone else but my first experience with being even tipsy was at home alone with just my boyfriend. That way I could test to see my limits and wouldn't have to worry about driving and such hahah.
|
Same. It was at family get togethers, and even then only a slight buzz. :c Then again it takes me only like half a bottle to get buzzed.. : |
|
When I don't eat first just 1-2 rum & cokes gets me tipsy. But idk how much alcohol is in those because I don't measure it anymore now that I'm used to making them myself, haha. I guess between 1 and 2 shots?
/lightweight |
Well, my other issue is that I just don't...even really like the smell of alcohol, so I can't imagine how it tastes. And when people say that beer tastes like piss it doesn't really make me inclined to try it.
|
Have fruit punch vodka and orange soda! Doesn't taste like alcohol at all! :3 Rum & Cokes do though. So don't have one of those!
|
Quote:
I dont like rum and coke.. too strong for me. That's why I like Mojitos.. Can't taste any alcohol whatsoever. |
Quote:
Sorry, but I have to bring it up every time you mention it. But mojitos are very nice indeed. Had my first at the Notting Hill carnival out of a coconut, and would heartily recommend it to everyone of legal drinking age! :D |

I didn't have peroni this weekend!! I had a bud!
.. >_> Still got me tipsy though. Mojitos are my fav. I think it's why I like smirnoff ice coolers.. ._. Even though those are supposed to be girly drinks. I don't care! I am a girl! Lol! |
Quote:
In all serious though my first encounter with alcohol was with my cousin (who is a year older than me) and his mates passing around a goon sack in a construction site at 2am I believe. Boy do I not miss goon. |
I just stick to my H2O because screw the trends ¬_¬
|
I learned at school that alcohol lowers your IQ by an average of 90 and that it turns you into a murderous lunatic by drinking it, so I'll be sure to avoid it.That's sarcasm if you can't tell.
