This came up from a conversation that

likethepaint and I are having with

eyerenderingfan, and I would be really interested in knowing the following:

[Poll #1290143]

I claim edge, though it wasn't always that way. A couple years ago I tried smoking and then off and on I'd drink with friends but I hate both and I've never tried drugs. Sometimes if I go to a party (I actually rarely go to parties, but) I want to drink but I try not to. I don't know if I'll always be this way though. When I turn 21 I might drink, might not. Which really wouldn't make me sxe but I don't know what else to say.

Most of my friends drink/smoke cigarettes/pot and it's really frustrating for me to be around them. Some of them don't but they've at least tried smoking pot and I shouldn't be upset by that but I am and no one understands. I hate everyone viewing me as some goody two shoes.

As for the sex, I don't have it anyway, so that's out. I don't view cursing or caffeine as sxe-related but I know a lot of people do.

If you're only "trying not to" drink and you're considering giving it up when it becomes legal, then you're not really straight edge, dude.

Being edge is a lifetime commitment and you can't just dip in and out of it.

You abstain from the top three completely, or you're just not edge.

Well when I say try not to I don't mean I'm actually doing it, I'm just saying sometimes I wish I could. It would be really easy to just not care and go wild, but I don't want to do that. If there was a poll option that said, "I'm considering edge but don't know if I could be that way for life," I would have chosen that. And like I said, I don't honestly know if I would touch it. I'd like to think I could make it a committment, but I don't want to claim it for life and then break it one day and beat myself up over it. :[
