...I never fancied myself as a hippie. In fact, because of my long hair and my love for Salvia, many times my friends joke and refer to me as a hippie, and I resented that title. But then something happened... I had to take a road trip, a real long-ass one: atlanta->buffalo->canada->georgetown/washington, D.C.->atlanta I went all alone, spent minimal money (being the cheapskate that I am) and slept mostly in my car (sucks in this hot, humid weather, don't try it). There was this woman I met, who quite innocently asked me, "Are you a hippie?". Normally, I would have vehemently denied it, or even deflect it by starting a new thread or cracking a joke, but somehow the word "Yes" came out of my mouth. Since then, I have been thinking about this: my personality/thought processes are really like that of hippies. Of course, I suck at playing guitar and hate smoking, but the fundamentals are still there. Then I googled for hippie sites to see if there still are any around. And lo and behold, I found this forum. I am staying in Atlanta (Ga Tech), by the way. Hope to get to know all of you and discover more about myself in the process.
Welcome to the boards......I've been considered a hippie myself....my heavy-metal roots kinda prevent that.....but I do enjoy the free thinking and open discussions on these boards. They're fun, with a lot of interesting people to learn from.
