pedantic point, but meth is not the same as amphetamine
― ♆ (gr8080), Tuesday, 10 July 2012 22:42 (eleven years ago) link
pedant alert:
in 1943, Abbott Laboratories requested FDA approval of methamphetamine for treatment of narcolepsy, mild depression, postencephalitic parkinsonism, chronic alcoholism, cerebral arteriosclerosis, and hay fever, which was granted in December 1944.
Sale of the massive postwar surplus of methamphetamine in Europe, North America, and Japan stimulated civilian demand.
In the 1950s, there was a rise in the legal prescription of methamphetamine to the American public. In the 1954 edition of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, indications for methamphetamine included "narcolepsy, postencephalitic parkinsonism, alcoholism, certain depressive states, and in the treatment of obesity." Methamphetamine constituted half of the amphetamine salts for the original formulation for the diet drug Obetrol which later became Adderall. Methamphetamine was also marketed for sinus inflammation or for non-medicinal purposes as "pep pills" or "bennies".

Bold opinion.
i would totally do cocaine if someone i knew offered me some. nobody ever offers me any!
i know!
i love how in casablanca, which is admittedly largely set in a bar, ppl just order drinks and then go to a different table and order more and more, etc. before saying racist things about the piano player. but everybody's having such a good time!

It's 2012, I think 1986 officially counts as "the good old days."

i was just talking about something she said in the awl thing anyway. that they go to 40th birthday parties at karaoke places and get drunk and this is supposed to be an example of regressive mom behaviour or something? didn't say they did this in the old days.

cuz she ain't no ruling class
i guess i don't really get the regression part anyway cuz most of the 30-something and 40-something parents i know who go to bars or drink or party or whatever never really stopped drinking or going to bars/parties. maybe when they had infants they did. those little bastards can slow you down.

"Now, two months after graduation, I seem to be one of just a handful of people that's been able to get themselves on their feet, pay their own bills and actually put together some semblance of an adult life with minimal parental assistance."

it was the ultimate way to achieve my dreams, I realized that pursuing a volatile degree from private university was possibly one of the worst decisions I could have made.

"Do not be too harsh on Taylor, gentle reader. Though she has a steady income, an apartment, a car, and a healthy sense of entitlement, she is right to mourn her predicament: she lives in Boston. Even Lena Fucking Dunham worship is preferable to that cruel fate."
gawker's got a point here...

most annoyed @ her attributing her relative success to the fact that she just tried harder at everyone else at being employable and got internship after internship and had part time jobs (for the resume not bc she needed them to pay her tuition), never once mentioning, you know, luck
