Inspired by a lyric my iTunes random playlist just threw up, when have you been burned, but you still play with fire?
Examples from my corner:
1) I'm a lazy bum. I coasted through my GCSEs and A-levels with beyond passable, even respectable grades, and I carried over that lack of motivation to university and performed miserably. Despite nigh-total (I attained a foundation year in engineering) failure, I'm still prone to apathy and procrastination to this day, simply because it's easier at the time.
2) I take drugs. Admittedly not as much as I used to, but only because the situation is never right quite as often as it was a few years ago. I'll always remember the time I found myself in the ladies toilet of a 70s night club, snorting ketamine off the lid of a sanitary towel bin.*
3) I have a wandering eye. One relationship has ended because of it, and others have been jeopardised or had their dissolution exacerbated by it. Even still, I can't stop looking at pretty girls, and I doubt I ever will.**
So when have you been burned, yet still played?
*I still play with fire because it gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
**I still play with fire because it's so pretty, especially when it dances.
