Thanks, Casey. My roommate's gay so it's liberating to talk about stuff that isn't exclusively heterosexual; great for being in university in first year. I'll try what you did and hope that my friends will take it well. :)

Thanks for the input, Grant. I should probably put out a few more feelers. :)

I am that friend in which grant is referring to. The one roommate that freaked out was a special case, and I could tell beforehand it was going to be an issue.  And honestly I’m glad things happened the way they did, he moved out of the…

Honestly, if they are your friends, they should at minimum understand.  A friend of mine went through the same situation, except his room mate was not his friend and freaked the hell out.  It changed nothing of my thoughts of him minus…

I agree with Grant.  I am 22 years old, have only ever had sips of alcohol (and only after turning 21) and I absolutely hate the taste.  I do not understand the appeal of alcohol.  If you see an appeal in it, go ahead (but only if…

Beer

For most of my life (as I seemingly recall) I have been a beer/wine virgin (not saying alcohol because I have had a brandy-filled chocolate once), and have managed to abstain from any alcoholic beverages so far in rez life.I have no desire for alcohol but my friends are telling me to drink once and find out my degree of drunkeness because I'll drink at least once in my life. One of them even jokingly offered me "ginger ale" that was too dark for its colour.So my question is, should I drink once…See More
