...going to the Warehouse Theatre Company dance tonight? It only reminded me why I didn't go to dances in high school.
The music may have been from three different decades, but not once the whole three hours did it veer from bass-blasting and up-tempo. Nothing quiet enough to stop hurting my eardrums, and nothing slow to break the monotony of the night.
I don't call that dancing. That was people jerking their bodies spasmodically. What I wouldn't give for someone who knows actual dance steps. I'll even join in on line dancing. But no....we can't waste time on learning an actual dance style. We're too busy bumping, grinding, and spasming.
Why did I get all dolled up? What was I thinking. Oh, I know, that there might actually be strangers there. I could have come in my pajamas and no one would have cared. But I spent hours trying to make myself look beautiful only to be surrounded by the same people who ignore me on a daily basis. And tonight was no different. Thank you to the few people who are actually my friends and tried to help me have a good time. Too bad they all left long before I did.
Tonight makes me wish I too had someone giving me free alcohol. Unlike some people I know, I had to wait until I turned 21 to have more than a sip from a parent's glass. Now I want to get drunk, just to forget this crappy night.
Thank you, and good night.

I tend to avoid them type of events as they bore the hell out of me. My ideal party is just having fun, like karaoke or something. Especially musical Karaoke. So much fun. ;D Other than that my answer to them parties is a no... And by the way. I'm below drinking age and it never stopped me. I love a Vodka and coke the odd night. Or red wine  Always helps my creative flow. |

It's not that I was against drinking before 21. It's just that I had no one buying me alcohol. And now that I'm 21, I have no money to buy it myself.

This is why I don't go out much and never did. The kind of "dances" and "partying" that young people do nowadays just isn't my kind of thing at all. I would enjoy real dancing but nobody seems to do that much, and what they do just isn't any fun to me. So if I go out it means to sit in a café talking with friends or to go to theatre or something. It just took quite a while to find friends with whom to do that. Luckily I have them now.  |

They rub their bodies in other people. I've been in some parties with friends were I left 5 minutes after entering because some people there were almost recreating a porn movie, and honestly If I want to watch one I do it at home. Besides that, I just can't stand drunk girls. It makes me sick. Girls over here when get drunk behave like total wh*res, with the exception you don't need to pay. Its trully disgusting. |

I know how you feel, as Valancy said it's the same here. I've been in the university for a year now and barely know anyone, because every social event is only about consuming vast loads of alcohol and that's not my way of getting to know people. I can have one drink in good company, but I can't stand drunk people and sadly there are many who don't know when to quit and think that you can't have fun without alcohol. Luckily I've found friends who don't need it, either. (And then they say that Internet kills your social life...) This is why I don't go out much and never did. The kind of "dances" and "partying" that young people do nowadays just isn't my kind of thing at all. I would enjoy real dancing but nobody seems to do that much, and what they do just isn't any fun to me. We have to organize a ball of our own. I can try to learn the men's steps.  |

I knew someday we would have SOMETHING in common lol;D Statistically, it was bound to happen at some point. And Cia, I'm on my, hmm, I think seventh year of the university and I don't have any friends from the university - except you girls who I know from elsewhere and just happen to go to the same university with, but I haven't made any friends from my own major. The social life there was entirely centred on getting drunk and behaving in various disgusting ways, and I've never had any patience for that, so the result was that I never got to know many people in my major well and didn't make lasting friendships. Around here it seems like getting drunk is a social requirement. I had to put up with years and years of being thought weird because I didn't drink, and not having much social life because most of it was centred around being drunk and it's not that much fun to be around drunken people when you're sober. Luckily as I've gotten older, I've found other friends who also know how to have fun when you're sober. (I do drink moderate amounts of alcohol nowadays, but my tastes are more expensive than I can afford, so it's pretty much just when my parents offer me wine or something. And I don't get drinking for the sake of getting drunk. Though there are certain moods where getting drunk feels like it would be relieving, but typically, that's always when you can't get anything. Probably that's good.) As for internet killing your social life... that's such a silly myth. It's invigorated mine so much, most of my real life friends I met through the internet. Lots of us formerly antisocial geeks escape the annoying normal people to the internet, find other antisocial geeks there, and realise that we're not antisocial after all if we just have good company. |

Just to be clear, this dance was alcohol-free (to impress any patrons.........not that any came).
Yeah, apparently other Theatre major parties are drunkfests, but I pretty much hear of them after the fact.

I need to get together with actual friends and have fun things like "movie" nights and birthday parties. And if there's dancing and booze, I won't be left out and ignored.

For me, a best time with friends is go to a library to read books, go to a local cafe and get some juices going about certain ideas, etc.
I must be getting old....
