i am NOT straight edge.

i kinda get upset when people try to label me as straight edge when they find out i've chosen not to drink, smoke, or do any other sort of drug.

"oh shit, she's straight edge!"

no. i will try to explain now why it irks me.

to me, straight edge is just a trend. i feel that the majority of people who call themselves straight edge only do it because it was once a fad long ago. or they do it just to seem holier than thou. kinda like a bunch of nonconformists coming together to conform in order to nonconform. what??? exactly.

i seriously know of one dude who was straight edge years ago. got a tattoo for it. now he drinks and smokes and whatever, and had to cover up his tattoo. unfortunate for him.

listen. i haven't chosen to not do these things in order to be a part of some sort of hxc subculture. i've chosen it for personal reasons. and then i get shit from both sides because of it.

people who don't like straight edge kids assume i'm a stuck up dick. someone who will look down on them or criticize them for things they do.

straight edge kids get upset when i'm not doing everything it takes to be straight edge. especially when it comes to sex.

stoooop trying to categorize me, ok? you just can't. you need to get to know me and simply refer to me as "ashlee." so let's get a little out of the way right now.

  • i don't smoke. don't drink. and you can't convince me otherwise. there may be a time where i may decide to try drinking, but i can't say if that'll happen. and i would rather not ever be drunk.
  • if i ever talk to you negatively about using shit, it's because i care and you're hurting yourself.
  • i'm a romantic. i believe in love, i do. but i don't knock off the idea of casual sex either. people can enjoy themselves however they seem fit as long as they're healthy and happy.

there you have it, folks. it's been a long time comin. sorry if i offended anyone. we can discuss these things if you disagree with anything i said. i don't mind.
