She just graduated high school and is going to go to college to become an actress. Following in my footsteps.

She just graduated high school and is going to go to college to become an actress. Following in my footsteps.
We're going to
- go to a summer acting class at my school
- see Moliere's The Imaginary Invalid
- see the Rocky Horror Picture Show complete with a shadow cast
And maybe some other stuff.
Yay.
And she smokes. Which presents a quandry for me. I'm a smoker. But I don't think she should be smoking. Should I not smoke in front of her so as to not encourage her? Oy.
Also, my friend Amber might want to become an SG. Which is pretty awesome. Cause she is pretty awesome.

I actually used that line when I was accosted by a rabid anti-smoker. "Lady, you do realize I contribute $2 to the State of Michigan with every pack I buy. If it weren't for me & millions of other Michiganders like me, the government would collapse under its own largesse."
She launched into a tirade about us smokers causing the state to suffer under exceptional health care costs.
"You see? Because you rabid nonsmokers just had to get us to kick the habit, now you have to deal with us before we've killed ourselves with fine, sweet tobacco. Your fault, not mine. Besides, if you people would encourage more people to smoke, there'd be more money in the treasury to care for those of us too ill to contribute, ergo you'd have no reason to bitch at me. In fact, you should be praising me for indulging in such a habit to keep the dollars rolling into Lansing."
She stalked off in a huff whilst I enjoyed puff after puff.
