i don't see why anyone does drugs

As I watched the first two episodes of 'Grey's Anatomy' thursday night I caught a great quote. If you've seen the show you would know that it's about a bunch of surgeon interns in their first year. One of them gets the chance to be in on a surgery. Later she tellls her boss how amazing it was to be in the surgery room and says that it was 'such a high. I don't see why anyone does drugs'(well it was something to that effect) Anyway I thought about this a little bit longer and well, i'm not going to school to become a surgeon or anything but it's a good though. My week has been so great, and such a good high with out the drugs that I kind of started thinking like that character from Grey's Anatomy was.

The week has consisted of so much good stuff. Minus no job it's been great. I would detail every single thing but that would take forever. The fourth was great, getting to see family and later friends. the weekend before I got to see Davina. After the fourth I just got to see a lot of Natalie and we had a great time hanging out and watching movies mostly. I spent the days looking for jobs and sitting in the pool! How can that not be good?! :-) I kept getting to see people I hadn't seen in a long time and got to catch up with them, as much as I hated talking about what I am doing with my life now, it was fun hearing what everyone is up to. Then I had Thursday and Friday to look forward to. Natalie and I invited heaps of people to go out to Figlio's on Thursday, which is where we have met up with my sister and her friends a few times this summer. It was great! It was such a random group of friends but they all got along real well!!!!! this is probably what gave me the best high! I was so happy to reconnect with old friends, and to meet some new people and to just see so many people coming out to a bar with me and Nat! Life was good! We had old high school friends, friends from college, our friend Kyle who we met in Youth in Government, and a couple friends that helped out with drumline. It was great! Kim was my only Luther friend but she ended up running into other Luther people that I kind of knew. So there was just this really random group of people and it was good. We went home that night feeling so awesome! Natalie and I gabbed about it on the way home and the next day....which was friday of course! The Basilica Block Party! I went last year and it was great, and soooo good again this year. I love the Hopefuls, and all the bands seemed really awesome. There were SO many people there to see Guster. I only do so well with large crowds so I didn't stay to watch them, just listened from afar after I watched Mike Doughty! oh so fun! It was a beautiful night full of good people, food, and music. Who could ask for more?!

I just have this great feeling all over from such fun times! I don't know how else to explain it. I am also happy that I got an email from Britta ( I miss her a lot), a message from Shannon (so excited to see him in about a month) and learned that Greg Graffin of Bad Religion has a solo album! it's very pretty... i like him (check it out... www.myspace.com/greggraffin -- if that doesn't work sorry... but it's the thought that counts)

so yeah... just good feelings all around. I think I also had a dream and friends Beth and LJ were in it. I miss them a whole lot too! just good feelings. Tonight... a party at Rob's with another great group of friends! can't wait!

i agree with you em 100%
i don't understand why anyone does drugs when life can be so wonderful, however, think about it, alcohol is a mind altering substance, yet we drink all the time, so it might just be that doing drugs is like drinking, only to a different extent, so granted, i don't really get it, but i still drink and i still watch other people struggle with their own drug of choice, plus i think a lot of people look at life and don't see it for everything that you see it for, like we all know people who think life just sucks and they use drugs to escape and all that jazz. i dunno... i don't get it either, and i don't like it, but i think i understand it a tiny bit, whether i approve or not...
oh well, miss you heaps, you rock my world, and once amber is home we should see if we can all organize a time to be together...
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

Not everyone can achieve a 'natural' high. I'm never going to be a surgeon, and if I was I doubt I'd get a kick out of it. What if no matter how hard I look at the world it always seems terrible? Would it be unfair to deny me drugs if it was clear that there is no other possible way I would escape a harsh reality? :p

I would find it hard to deny people any form of escapism that doesn't harm another person. Be it drugs, alcohol or surgery.
