Ok, so just last night I was at a friend's house, with a few other friends (male and female). Nobody was drinking, we were just sitting around, talking, watching a movie (God help me, it was Twilight ) or playing stupid games. And though I was somewhat anxious at the beginning, it was actually quite fun and pleasant. I was cracking jokes all the time and it was generally quite relaxing. Eventually we grew tired and went home but I didn't feel massive relief like I usually would after escaping from a social situation. Actually, I could have stayed even longer.
But then, tonight, with practically the same people I went out to a club. You know, the place that is supposed to be fun? Well, though SA was still there as a background problem, I realized what really bugged me was that it's just so damn BOOORING. You can barely talk. The music is just too loud. Ordinarily, I like music, but I won't crank it all up if I'm trying to talk to someone. You can barely dance. Actually, from time to time, I actually like to dance. But how to do it when people are packed so tight you can barely move? You are almost obliged to drink alcohol cause when everyone is drinking beer you'll be looked at like a freak if you just want a juice. I can't stand the taste of beer or vodka, I don't like wine that much. You can barely see from all the cigarete smoke.
It's like everything has to be excessive, forced upon you in a bar. I am by nature a moderate guy, I hate excess. And I don't know, but it's all just so monotonous. There's no variety. I can't imagine standing with a bottle in hand and nodding to music for hours, day after day, and calling it a good time. I'd much rather talk about something meaningful, or watch a movie or something. And you're supposed to meet and bond with girls in a bar/club? I'd much rather go for a walk under the stars in peace and quiet (or something appropriately romantic :.
I guess I just don't see much fun in going to places like that. Maybe i'm weird.
Do you think it's fun? What do you view as fun? What would you rather do?
