No, but I’ll have a great time that I’ll actually remember.
How are you straight edge? Don't you like classical music?

A straight edge person who's a classical music fan...that's quite the unicorn.
My mum goes to orchestra's quite often and she's a teetotaller....
But I doubt people at classical concerts draw X's on their hands or wear shirts with straight edge slogans in varsity font on them to the concerts. That's why I find it weird.

You are in serious need of therapy. I say this as a friend and someone who generally appreciates your contributions to this site.
Therapy for what? Being familiar with straight edge music?

I get what you're doing. Playing dumb about other people's lifestyles and interests is an excellent way to try to make them feel insecure about their choices, and it simultaneously makes you feel superior by pretending that you're confused by their behavior. I myself am often tempted to indulge in this when interacting with Christians (although most of the time that's at least partially genuine confusion). "Uh, you're not getting drunk on New Year's? What are you, a member of an extremely specific punk subculture genre? Wait, you listen to classical music?? Duhuuurrrp, this is not computing!" Yeah, I get the joke. You weren't exactly being subtle about it.

However, the degree to which you commit to this bit is becoming unsettling. You seem addicted to it, as if the only way for you to feel comfortable with your own social isolation and weird interests is to try to make others feel the same discomfort from which you suffer. It makes me sad that you feel compelled to do this, because given how frequently you post about your obsessions (and the way you try to normalize them by making us out to be the outcasts), I and everyone else on this site can tell that you suffer from feelings of inadequacy and ostracization. This probably has something to do with the niche cults you involve yourself in (hipster Christianity, emo music, online forums, etc) and the resultant perception that you are not accepted in polite society. It's a weird truism that the less accepted we are for our interests, the more we feel compelled to talk about them. A good example is the WI university chancellor who was simply incapable of keeping his weird sex perversions to himself; he so craved public acceptance that he felt it necessary to talk about his lifestyle despite knowing the almost-certain consequences.

If I were to give you advice, I would say you need to find a therapist who is willing to listen to your ramblings. This will have a two-pronged effect: First, it will give you a much-needed outlet for your desire to be seen, which you are sadly not experiencing at the moment. Second, it will give us all a break from hearing about emo music 24/7. It's in everyone's best interests, really.

You are assuming that red isn't actually just that self-absorbed he is genuinely gobsmacked at comprehending the values or views of anyone outside of his extremely Niche world. I would put at least 51% likelihood on this Theory rather than he is effectively just trolling us.

No, I haven't drank any alcohol. Considering I took MDMA, probably wouldn't be safe until tomorrow.

Definitely (most likely option 1, although I both don't drive and also am careful about never drinking too much alcohol, so I can't be sure).

This was pretty much correct, actually by the time midnight came I had only had a small beer and some so I doubt my BAC was above 0.5 g/L.

I was very much sh!tfaced last night (didn't black out though), was still drunk when I woke up, and had such a bad hangover headache that I couldn't even stand to sit up until like 2 pm
