when i smoke by myself at my apartment, my ritual is to light up a stick of nag champa incense and pack a bowl in my piece of choice ( i have 4 glass pipes, 1 stone pipe, and a bong) and then i either

a) chill out and listen to some chill music - usually classic rock
or
b) find something funny or scary or trippy on tv
or
c) chat on the computer

if i'm smoking with friends, we all get out our pieces to see whoever brought what along with them, and then we pick a piece and whoever wants to a pack a bowl, packs a bowl. i only smoke with close friends really, and so no one really cares who packs the bowl or what piece we use. and i like really only smoking with close friends, because if i don't have any bud with me, a friend usually smokes me out, and i always hit them back up later no worries

if i'm smoking with my friend missy, we always get super stoned and then have awesome adventures - we usually go on picnics, pick flowers in the woods, do some kind of artwork, on earth day we got sidewalk chalk and wrote earth messages / transcendentalist messages on the sidewalk of the square. just fun stuff! :hippy:
