Modern Day Hippy (Kinda of)

Hi everyone!

I noticed that this was the part of the forum where you can post random thoughts. And I love some random thinking.

So I was thinking I am kinda of like a modern hippie in a way. That's why I chose my username PeaceandLoveGirl91 However it depends on how you define hippie.

I against any war really, I feel that the current war in Iraq is pointless. Yay former President Bush for screwing us over. Hippies are usually are against war right? Well I guess that would qualify me. lol I believe in peace I know it's hard to come upon these days, but that's what I wish there was more of around the world.

When it comes to love, I believe in free love I guess you could say. Anyways I love everyone I am really close to even those who have hurt me too.

When it comes to drugs, I've never touch a drug such as weed, crack, etc. I am not planning on it either. I have nothing against those who do drugs really. It's just not my thing, I am pure from all drugs expect for OTC (Over The Counter) drugs for colds, and headaches.

Lets see I don't know if this makes me like half vegan or not. But I try not to eat a lot of meat. It's something I've been doing since like June. I still eat meat/chicken but not obsessively. Again I don't know if that makes me a hippie or not.

That's all I can think to write about right now.

Peace and Love,
Christina

 

I'm not really much of a hippie. I'm 7 months away from being a certified elementary school teacher. I like fishing, hockey, backcountry skiing, and chainsaws.

I eat lots of meat.

 

That's awesome I want to to be an elementary school teacher when I get out of college.

 

who gets to decide if one is a hippie or not? everything is fluid and always moving and if YOU think you are "hippie" then what does it matter what others think really.... I dunno though maybe i don't really understand what I am talking about

 

I was just basically rambling on about how I consider myself a hippie really.

 

I am still not sure what I consider myself, other than a pain most days.

Welcome to random thoughts.

 

Anybody can be a hippy,if they want. It's just that simple.

 

Haven't you fools read the Hippy Handbook? There is a strict dress code.......

 

You're obviously not a modern day hippie if you don't shoot dope.

 

I love how crack and weed were clasified together

 

I love smoking crack and weed together

 

1) how do you know drugs aren't your thing if you've never touched them?

2) don't worry so much about labels. be yourself, and if you're a hippy you're a hippy. if you're a nazi, you're a nazi, but at least you're being you and not what some (often misinformed) website tells you you should be.

 

yeah i gotta tell ya..i dont really care for the label hippie, its just a term i use loosely to describe a certain free spirit...buuut..i have to say, if you're gonna lump yourself in with hippies, you should really give pot a little respect. you dont have to smoke it but learn about its history and medicinal use and dont lump it in with crack. thats just sillier than shit

 

I was just rambling one afternoon. I know I can consider myself anything I want to be. I just felt like randomly rambling about something.

And I forget who it was that asked me why I don't like drugs or however it was put there is a simple answer. I lost my cousin to a drug over dose like 2 1/2 years ago.

 

1) you can't overdose on pot, so your cousin has nothing to do with why you avoid that.

2) my uncle drank himself to death, and i still enjoy drinking responsibly from time to time.

 

I don't recommend calling yourself "half vegan" in the vegetarian forums, they will eat you alive.

Welcome, but don't get too worried about the hippie label, most of us here would not call ourselves hippies.

We are who we are, and you won't agree with everything everyone says...so please don't answer posts you don't like with "I thought this was a hippie forum...where is the hippie love?" It's just annoying and it's old...

 

I'm vegetarian with a wheat allergy
I don't take drugs and have no intention of doing so aside from the odd bit of weed
I don't like being wasteful and like cycling most places I go
I don't want to see anyone killed
When I find acorns or seeds I bury them hoping they'll grow
I like rainbows and flowers
I wear regular-looking clothes
I'm a student hoping to get a pretty normal job
I'm into the whole washing myself a lot thing

What does this make me?
It makes me me.

 

Thanks everything for posting replies to my little rant I guess you can call it.

@DaisyMae: Thanks for the advice I think. lol

@Fingermouse: Very well put <3
