      Oh. My. God.

      Those tattoos are amazing (all of them!!) but I will never understand what some people choose to do with their bodies. I cannot look away!

        I don’t understand it, I wouidn’t participate in it, but I definitely am thankful for it

        Except I never wanted to quit. I just suddenly, overnight, developed an allergy to them. Like, migraine headache nausea level allergy. It sucks. I can still sneak one, maybe two a month, but more than that and bang, I feel like a 12-year-old who just chain smoked her mom’s pack of unfiltered Camels.

          Wow. I’ve never heard of that happening! I guess your body wanted you to quit.

            My body needs to stop being such a selfish, health-conscious brat and let me have some fun once in a while. The same thing happened with booze. I have to limit myself one or two drinks or I wind up with the worst hangovers. I can’t even get tipsy. So ridiculous. I hate it.

            What a bummer!

            I’ve heard the Rocky Mountains in Colorado provide a wonderful high. The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby!

            Believe me I’ve been trying to plan a vacation there for a while now. Then these stupid Hamilton tickets happened and there went the budget for a weekend in Colorado…

            “My body wants to be healthy! I hate it so much.” Next you’ll develop an allergy to beefburgers or sweets.

            My body does that with medicines – I am fine for a while but if I take anything for what it arbitrarily decides for too long I start getting intolerant of it. To date I can no longer take aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen, amytriptilene, my asthma reliever and when I take my preventer steroids (which I still do because I need to breathe, but luckily I only have the occasional flareup and only take them when it’s bad which is about four times a year) i come out in a massive rash. Also fake cherry flavour, after a serious cherry drop habit at schol.

          So even if you do come to 221b con next year we won’t be sharing smokes? NGL, I’ll miss that.

            ME TOO. I mean, hope springs eternal? I’ll probably bring a pack anyway, just in case. =D

    I had two cigarettes yesterday after four hours on LA freeways (I DROVE ON ALL THE LA FREEWAYS YESTERDAY, FUCK YOU GARMIN) and I regret nothing.

        that’s a suggestive image on loop, no?

        *keeps watching waiting for something else to develop*

    I once shared a single smoke with a couple friends. At the end of it, they both were like “welp, that was fun and great, and that’s enough for me!” I was like, “NOPE, NOW I NEED A PACK.”

    Nicotine! It’s highly addictive!

    1. rosemarybush +6

      I should clarify–this was years after I’d smoked my last cigarette, and I was so proud of myself for being able to say “nope, I don’t smoke!” And with the taste of just a third of a cigarette, I was SO ready to jump back on the tobacco train. Once nicotine has you, man, it has you for good.

        i am seriously considering breaking up with my boyfriend over the fact that he will get drunk and buy a pack and i have NO will power to say no if i can see it and its so close and he REFUSES (maybe he can’t) stop.

        I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU

        The time I quit for a month, I do not even recall stopping for the pack that broke my streak. I got upset and bam, back on a pack a day.

    2. alder_tree +5

      I seem to have inherited my dad’s ability to not be addicted to nicotine. It’s freaky?? Like, I used to smoke a lot more, but even then it was one or two a day unless I was with friends who smoked or I was drinking. I went through maybe a pack and a half per month!
