Can i get a cherry on top of that?

It was another seemingly unimportant night with the 5 of us that started off just like any other would. Lora got in trouble and we had to delay our departure, Liat wouldn't leave the cabin on time, Alana was wearing goofy-ass pants and displaying her new button bracelet, and Becca just wanted to get fucked up. Classic. Despite some internal struggle to get the fuck off camp, we eventually found ourselves at the Otis cafe. After some serious convincing and deliberation, the group convinced my fat ass that we can share a plate of potatoes that could have fed a small village in africa instead of me handling it on my lonesome (family style isn't my forte, i get territorial). In the end we ate everything on our plates, and everything on the plates of the table next to us (we knew them, but that probably wouldn't have stopped anyone). Slightly incapacitated and inebriated from all the deliciousness, we meandered on over to the cove, my absolute favorite spot in the LC. My rationale is the cove is quiet, secluded, has a significant lack of obnoxious drunk teens and tends to leave your clothing, hair and body smelling like it should instead of the overwhelming scent of old bonfire. We all settled in right away with all our goods and set up camp. After some pre-gaming we ended up in a heated discussion where we all were arguing the same point against nobody but the metaphorical man and sociaety as a whole. You see, we're told plenty as kids; don't drink, don't do drugs, don't hit your brother, etc. But until now we didn't realize that the reasoning behind these messages were mostly invalid and untrue (except for the brother one. He does get pissed when i hit). Why is altering your state of mind such a pathetic thing to do? Isn't bringing yourself onto another plane of thought overall beneficial? I mean it seems ridiculous to tell us that we should stay where we are forever. Sobriety is much more cloudy than people think it is. Inhibitions that come naturally, or that have been bred in our society stop us from seeing things from another point of view, accepting things as they are, and allowing ourselves to think against our normal pattern of thought. Only when these mental blocks are lifted can we start to understand things from the other side. I'm not saying we need to smoke to understand or drink to figure things out. I'm just saying that experiencing what it is like to release our inhibitions is vital to being able to do it on your own. It's just another way of looking at things. Thanks natasha beddingfield. That, among many other topics, was one of our genuis discoveries we made. I want to take a moment to remind myself that these are the best people in the world. There are few times that i can say i would not rather be anywhere else doing any other thing with any other individuals. P.s. i'm ridiculously lucky to have friends like this, so stop being a little bitch about your lack of pudding.
