Well, in that case, I guess I did just claim edge. I have no desire to do any of those things and it is a decision and promise I've made for myself to myself. A lot of it is in the way I've been raised, but then, I don't feel the need to do that stuff just because someone else might want me to. I just don't want to do them, so I won't.
Hey - how about that? I guess I really am edge! After all, I've been legal for cigarettes for 13 years, for alcohol for 10 years, and I've never wanted to partake. If I had wanted to, then I would have. So it really was a decision I made for myself.
(Not being glib, either. I really don't want to do that stuff, and I won't.)
*hugs* Good for you, dude. It's really something to be proud of, because there are so many pressures in life to take part in these things and really sticking to your choices can be really hard.
It's awesome that even without a motive to do so, you've been living the lifestyle all along.
