I'm getting to that age, where I can look back with friends and laugh -"we could have died!"  "I know!" "I can't believe we didn't die!" "I can't believe we didn't end up in jail!" "Ha, ha!" "I guess we made it!"  "Good Times!" "But I don't want to go back to that! Would you?"  "Oh, hell no!" "Ha, ha!"

I basically never allowed myself those kinds of adventures.

I was a very paranoid and cautious kid which is to say I was never actually much of a kid at all.

Fuck. Fuck, y'know, that actually explains so much... haha.

I mean. I was driving by. I know that part of town in a narrow, straight area where I drive through it to get somewhere else.

I'm with LFM on this one. 

Solidarity of the terminally geeky.  Oh yeah. 

We'd have a secret handshake, but we're afraid of spreading germs. 

[wombat]

We'll have to have a secret hand-wave instead, then.

[theinevitable]

I am pretty paranoid and cautious, but also, I do not always know when I should be scared.

[littlefallsmets]

See, I always know when to be scared even when I shouldn't be scared.

It is kinda my thing.

...maybe a secret nod, though, instead of a wave. Less conspicuous, you understand.

[Golfhaus]

We wouldn't ever meet face-to-face to exchange secret handshakes/nods/waves. There would be a secret series of letters that we would put in signatures on forums like this one.

(I was also a very cautious young'un - this is how I've made it to 30 without doing a single illegal drug or smoking a single cigarette)

[V-Adore]

I'm going down that path myself, 'haus. Nicotine frightens me, and I'm too much of a control freak for other drugs to hold much of an allure. It's a sad, dorky life I live.

[littlefallsmets]

I too have never smoked a tobacco cigarette... though I do enjoy a cigar every month or two and weed is awesome as long as you're not being tested for it. Harder drugs, I've eschewed, but weed and I are both so awesome that we had to cross paths at times.

Spiderman had to meet Superman, y'know, it just had to happen.

[Golfhaus]

I talk about the secret series of characters as if it's something I've never done before. It isn't. In my freshman year of college, some friends of mine, jealous of the secret societies at UVA, decided to form our own at the college I attended. It lasted a semester. No painting of the symbols on dozens of buildings around town - ours were relegated primarily to our webpages and the occasional desk in a classroom.

[CortJstr]

Well your society's symbols wouldn't last long, unless you suddenly and publicly donated assloads of money, also.

[theinevitable]

dang, me and my roommate were totally going to make a secret society. There is just one (that we know of) at washU, and they are hell of suspect.
basically the only secret is that... they raise buttloads of money at this big carnival they throw every year, and no one knows where it goes. They donate money to charities, but the charities have to sign a thing saying they will never disclose how much was given. hell of suspect.

um, yeah, I have smoked 1 and a half cigarettes. In one case, it was offered to me by a complete stranger, I smoked some, and then my friends got all "oh my god, his first cigarette! oh my gosh!" and made it into a weird big deal because they all smoked.
The other time, it was offered to me by the bass player of a cool band, and my friend told me I was a major asshole wannabe for taking it.

Basically, I think I would smoke if it wouldn't lead to me and my clothes smelling horrible, and being socially ostracized. also, you know, cancer.

[KeithHernandez]

Trust me, cool bass players who smoke (cough cough-in this situation I am referring to myself, this could be confusing, it is not HAAAAAAK HAAAAAAAAAACK UGGGGH) do not care if you take their cigarette.  They will not look down on you.

If you tell them that story on the internet they will agree with your friend though.  Well, maybe not major, but the rest.

[theinevitable]

I mean. I took it because he was being friendly, and I wanted to see what smoking was like, since the other time it was less "half a cigarette" and more "2 puffs."
