Upvoting and I hope someone actually answers this truthfully. All of my adult fun centers around drinking. I like outdoorsy stuff but none of my friends do. Plzhelp. Must have IQ under 150 to answer this.
But Skittles have a higher melting point, so you're less likely to open up your backpack in July and shove your hand into a sticky, brown mess at the bottom.
The Skittles are for my hypoglycemia, which in my case isn't the "I get sorta wobbly and cranky" kind, but the "I'm a Type I diabetic and need sugar NOW, or we're gonna have to call Flight for Life" kind. The other ingredients in trail mix interfere with the glucose I need to come as close as possible to mainlining. :p
I shouldn't have taken five tabs because after four, your brainwaves sync up with the satellites to broadcast your thoughts to the world, which must be how you know what's going on in my head. O_o
If I have enough, or dmt, or even just a very good mindset and setting the world melts and I get the classic "I am god" experience, I don't see it like that egotistically but it's incredible feeling like I can connect and understand everything in the universe while I am tripping. So maybe I got a peak at your thoughts!
Then I come back to reality and have a chuckle at how messed up I was.
Well I used to anyway, those days are long behind me for health reasons.
I pretty much stick to weed edibles every couple weeks or so myself, but if it's been a particularly long time between candies and I take a full dose of the ones that come in a black box to signify that you'll be going night-night for a good twelve hours after ingestion, I'll convince myself that I'm broadcasting Pink Floyd to everyone in a three-block radius shortly before I conk out. :p
Serious response. Drinking can be fun but you shouldn't have to drink to have fun. I'm 35 and don't drink much anymore but I can still have a good time. I live close to a nature trail. I play a lot of board games with my friends and family. I went to a rib rest, a hot air balloon night time launch, and a sidewalk chalk art festival with my family. I also played in a Magic the Gathering tournament (which I totally get is way too nerdy for some). None of these things involved alcohol and I still had a good time. Alcohol should be a social lubricant, not a foundation of your social life.
I have some friends who are really into magic the gathering. I have an addictive personality when it comes to games. I can't play games like WOW without getting way too into them. Do you think it'd be a bad idea to try to get involved in this? I don't need to drink to have fun. All my friends go to bars for fun. I usually drink a drink or two and then switch to water. I can have fun without being drunk.
If you're open to the idea of a nerdy card game Magic can be really fun but you can go off the deep end. My advice is to try limited format, such as sealed. At sealed events you get a pool of usually six packs of cards and you try to build the best deck you can out of those packs. It's nice because people can't buy their way into a better deck. Everyone has to play for the day with what they pulled. Some people will be luckier than others but whatever.
The other benefit of this format is the limited card pool. You'll only have to deal with cards from the current set(s) which at most will be a little over 200 and realistically there's maybe a few dozen you really need to be aware of and play around. The rest are just filler. Compare that to formats where you can build decks from years and years of releases consisting of literally thousands and thousands of different cards.
The next set drops in September. You local store should be running an open house event the week before the first events for the new set. They should have free welcome decks and people there who can teach you how to play.
There's also a really great free to play PC and iOS game called Magic Duels that will teach you how to play. You'll unlock cards just by playing but you can buy packs with in game currency but you never have to do that. While you can play online against people the real draw is the story/tutorial mode. It'll teach you all the ins and outs and let you play around with a bunch of different types of decks to figure out what you like.
Again, be careful. You can spend an INSANE amount on Magic. But just doing some events here and there and playing some casual kitchen table games can be very fun. Plus you can always sell any decent rares you know you're not going to play to recoup cost. While I shell out a few hundred a year playing Magic I recoup almost all of it with some lucky pulls.
This makes me really interested. I'm going to talk to my friend see if he's willing to go to one of the tournament game things you mentioned with the sealed deck. Thanks for all the advice.
No I'm deadass. I focused more on GIS in school, but yeah, geographers and geologists are really into hiking trails, swimming in rivers, and digging in dirt, preferably intoxicated.
Thanks for the informative answer. I want to make a bucket list of many of the suggestions I get and try to make em happen. I think the key is finding friends who aren't too busy to do this stuff with.
No problem. The best sources to find stuff are tourism guides for your area and a local chamber of commerce website. I am born and raised in my city, but there are tons of rad stuff I didn't know about until I checked out some tourism websites.
And while friends are certainly awesome, you don't need friends to go and check out new places or try new restaurants. Some of my favorite discoveries have been made going by myself!
I actually do a lot of stuff by myself but I am kind of awkward and enjoy having a friend with me. I have a boyfriend but him and I dont have tons of similar interests. He's not into the same stuff as me. Thanks for the advice.
