Whoa, this is a record for me. Thrice in one day! Anyway, this blog entry is inspired by annoyance and regrettable anger.
Let me preface this entry by also saying: "One does not need booze to make one's college experience - or life experience for that matter - more enjoyable."
With that being said, I get really bothered when people egg me about going out. I don't go out because, in Alma, if you go out you should probably be so plastered that you don't care that you are only going to stand around, get wasted, then come back to Gelston, Newberry, Bruske, or Wright and puke your entire night back up. I don't go out because I don't enjoy being the only sober person on the block. I don't go out because, while you are ruining your liver for the second or third time this week, I would rather read; watch a movie; or have an actual conversation - that I will remember. I disagree with your assumption that, if I go out, I will have more friends. I don't know about you, but I like to have more in common with my friends than the fact that we drank out of the same shot glass.
When I tell you that I don't want to go out, it isn't simply an isolated incident - I'm not 'just tired'. When I tell you that those parties are boring and that I don't feel like drinking. I mean it. I try to be as tactful as possible. But, for goodness sake, not everyone finds being drunk fun. I don't. So, stop bothering me about it. If I want to vomit in my own hair, scrape my knee on the pavement because I can't hold myself up, or lose my balance dancing on the bar - trust me - I can take the initiative. Leave me alone.
PS: When you stumble in around 2:30/3:oo AM, can you shut up? and set your own alarm? Remember, today's Wednesday - you don't have church tomorrow.

Hehe. How I love righteous anger. I don't drink either, it's a choice. Drinking is just a hobby for some. And quite frankly I have better things to do with my time and money. Good call. Friends who understand and respect you for that are friends of the highest caliber.

Ok, so i need to remember that not to drunk post on your site. i have a tendency to do that. It's nice that you have a blog up finally:P It's good to get some contact out of you. Ok, cya later and I hope your last days of your first semester go alright.
Indeed
- As I am sure everyone knows, I don't drink ^^ . . . and I can't say that I ever intend to either.
- - And I must say that this is one of the few things that makes me wonder if I should try and go and live on campus next year, I don't want to be around drunk people all the time, or have people bothering me about it either >_> . . .
I understand ur feelings kim. People do take it over the edge and I get sick of people being loud all night too. But I am going to stick up for some drinkers because some can handle it. They can remember everything that happened and they can have discussions. Yes finding friends at parties really doesnt work but it can be nice just to get out and enjoy some time laughing at people and just plain meeting new people. Because I dont know about you but I get sick of my dorm room and well my roomate but that is a different story. So that is my input, take it or leave it lol.
