That's nothing, I cut out a bible with a razor blade, I used to use it to store meds in.

I rolled a spliff with a page from it. Worked OK too.

As for cutting bits out to store drugs in: I used War and Peace for that purpose. It seemed suitable. 😀

Some of us are much much older. Can you say crusty. And we still do not have a clue! 😉

Seriously, life is a journey. There is so much to experience. Don't expect your first choice to be it. You can always change.

Bottom line, is that you never know were life will take you. But hop on and enjoy the ride! 😀

I've never actually stored illicit drugs in it, only prescribed ones. Everything I do these days is best stored in the freezer.

I've not done this in a while so here goes:

1) I'm probably one of the most deviant people on the forums
2) I absolutely despise breathing through my mouth
3) I habitually injure myself and never seem to learn
4) I just received my provisional driving licence and fully intend to get my motorcycle licence as soon as is humanly possible.
5) I would like to gain a couple of stone
6) I do not love mudkips
7) I'm a child of the 90's and my sense of humour reflects this
8) I'm a very practical girl
9) I find it very difficult to naturally smile
10) I don't drink or smoke, drinking leads to sleep problems for me and smoking results in hypothermia due to a cardio condition I have
11) I'm adamantly atheist
12) My views on life the universe and everything can broadly be described as the ramblings of an acid casualty.
13) My approach to relationships could be compared to pokémon
14) I top.
15) I make very good sushi.
16) I have very little sense of self or self image, I find it very difficult to associate my own reflection with myself
17) I'm rather vain.
18) I alternate between extreme shyness and extreme extroversion
19) I am not a pack rat, I don't see the point in being burdened by many possessions, when it comes down to it all I *really* value is my laptop and my violin.
20) I'm incapable of anger, I may come across so in my posts but I just never feel the emotion.
