    Good for you on not drinking!

    I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, but for anyone else reading this, drinking doesn't have to end up like that...it's pretty easy to control and moderate how much you're drinking (and by extension how you're acting). If there's someone going crazy at a party, drinking way too much and doing stupid stuff, try not to be around them while they're drinking, because you'll be tempted to drink more too. Do a couple shots if you want, but then try to limit yourself to whatever is in your hand. If you have to, keep track with pen/sharpy on your arm or something so you can see how much you've drank.

    If you really don't like alcohol though, there's nothing at all wrong with just not drinking it...but it doesn't have to turn out like the disasters in this thread!

    It's kind of a miracle you're still with us to tell us about it!

    That's pretty deep. And not the kind of fake "I'm deep, pay attention to me," kind...this actually made me step back for a second and really think about the ships in the night metaphor. Thanks for sharing.

    That's actually a pretty cool origins story!

    I've been slowly, sloooowly teaching myself Python for a while. Not even for a particular reason, I just like programming, but I'm not very good and I don't have any projects in mind. Python just clicked with me, so I learn where I can :)

    When I was younger, probably in 8th grade or younger, my friends, brother, and I were a bunch of wannabe skateboard punks. We would walk around our downtown area, not really causing trouble or anything, just hanging out and pretending we were badass.

    That's not really relevant to the story, but it leads up to my point...we weren't allowed to drink energy drinks (parents' rules), so when we'd go downtown, we'd all go to the grocery store and buy an energy drink. I found one called Redjak that I really liked and haven't been able to find since. I used that as my username for a long time (my name is Jack and my favorite color is red, so it was perfect), until I started signing up for services and it was taken. I decided to substitute an X for the K, and now it's redjax. Sometimes that's also taken, so I'll use a 3 instead of the e, to get r3djax.

    Not a super interesting story I guess!
