ok, i was agreeing with you? it annoys me because it's like they're doing it 'for the image'. i have a friend who's straight edge. she's only that way because her mother was an alcoholic. she doesn't go round broadcasting it all over her livejournal/faceparty. i know a fair handful of people who have I'M STRAIGHT EDGE OMG LOOK AT ME profiles. and it's like "fuck off and die, kthx" yeah, i'm sorry if i'm offesnive. i don't mind straight edge people. not at all in fact. i'm trying to cut back on drinking myself simply because it's bad for me, i just find it annoying when people broadcast it to the world.
