I got invited to go fishing with some coworkers and had to say no. It's kind of a shame since I don't have any friends and it was a chance to do something social, plus the area they wanted to go is chill and out in the woods. But I've never been comfortable with fishing. It's a big part of where I grew up. Lots of people don't even eat the fish. They toss the poor things back in the water.

Maybe I could still go but just hang out on the shore.

    hell yeah, because at the end of the day he wasn't inviting you with the purpose of actually catching fish, he was inviting you to chill. depending on how chud he is, you could maybe just say you're vegetarian but you'd still be happy to come along? thats what i've done, and then i just take my sketchbook and chill on the lakeside. the vibe is the same.

        Reading this I thought you were vegan, the whole idea of fishing is just unnecessary cruelty like dairy farming or egg farming.

        Bait any other animal to bite a hook and then fuck with it for ten minutes, just to release it and you'd be arrested.
