Oh, I've heard the term plenty. But I tend to stay away from kids who actually use it to describe themselves. I don't really consider myself straight edge simply because if the opportunity comes up, and I feel like drinking, smoking weed, etc. I'll do it. Not out of habit, it's just that I don't restrict myself. However, I don't do it often at all.
And Savage, I sort of know what you mean about drinking being "Pending," up until college I was unsure of whether I'd do it or not. I never considered pot and alcohol [well mostly pot] as these bad, degenerate things. But I was never really tempted to do it either, it was basically "whatever." Then I went to college, where this stuff is easily available, and there's absolutely no peer pressure whatsoever - I've noticed after middle school, peer pressure isn't as much of a big deal as some people may think it is, in fact people went out of their way when I first drank and smoked pot to make sure I really wanted to do it. I was curious so i tried it, nothing serious, and that clinched it for me - that alcohol and drugs [well, atleast pot] are not these big phantom temptations I learned about in middle school.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
