We went to this nice restaurant for lunch and I ordered a Hefeweizen and my gf got a milkshake. I immediately wished I had also ordered a milkshake when they arrived. I told my gf to remind me of that. I drank it with my meal and drank no more, but on the way home I felt a strange uneasiness. She's off to work and I'm typing on here and suckin' down rootbeer.
I identify strongly with wanting to wade a bit...

I wrote a song once bout

looking at some thin ice/and its like I don't think twice/maybe it won't break/if I just skate a bit....

always did tho, sooner or later.

for me, stubborness - wanting to be 'normal' and wanting to be one of the guys - kept me out for years longer than any rational person would have, and way past the point when it was fun...so I get ya.

I hated myself for doing it for the last 5 years, but I still did it.
