What does it really mean to be anti-social? You hear the term all the time. People say it to their friends..."Hey stop being all anti-social and come on." As if because you're feeling down you no longer know how to have fun

"Antisocial" is a flexible term. I think I'm it, but only sometimes.

I think you can make yourself antisocial, whether you mean to or not. I, for example, made myself a bookworm after I moved to Oklahoma.

Whoa, I felt bad when I read that you got power back within 48 hours, because mine ... well, it never really went off. It just kept flickering on Sunday afternoon.

I only read 2/3, but I liked Smack a lot. It made me wonder about the drug, too. I mean, all my life I've heard that you shouldn't, but adults give you pretty circular reasoning. "You shouldn't do drugs, because they kill you, so you shouldn't do drugs." Reading the book, I tried to argue with the characters when they said how good smack was for them, and I couldn't really, because they were telling me that it didn't hurt them. ---It was really good. (Side note: oddly, I thought of this girl who goes to my church as Gemma. I also thought of her as Lily.)

I've never done anything, but I sometimes take three Tylenol at once, if my head really hurts.

You're right about antisocial being a flexible term. I have no idea how I'm feeling about social anything right now. As for you being antisocial--maybe a bit...but it seems that if people approached you, you would talk to them.

Yeah, after the last hurricane my power was out for at least 5 days...I actually came to school without a real shower. It was gross.

That is quite odd about the girl from your church reminding you of both Gemma and Lily. Reading that book makes me want to talk to someone who has done that drug in real life. I really can't stop wondering about it.

Watch that tylenol buddy, it's dangerous! (and i'm only kidding a little

I don't think you're really anit-social, per-say. Like half the people in IB are anti-social, and there's a definite difference between being fed up with all the drama around you, and being anti-social. Heroine doesn't make your problems really go away in your mind, but it just seems to make everything float through and make you think it's all going to be fine in the end. Which then leads you to not do anything about but take more heroine until you wind up killing yourself. Weed is kind of a similar experience. I don't know from exprience, but I've got quite a few friends who have done just about everything there is and say that in the end it isn't worth it.
