The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I love how you have logical rationalizations for avoiding parties and stuff. (I'm the same way)

Why though? I do not see a point in wasting my youth in front of a screen. I like to go out with people and talk. It does not have to always be drinking or anything like that. Too many metalheads down have a developed social life.
 
Cheesy as in the campiness of the first 3 seasons or as in the overbearing seriousness of the last 4?

I don't know, I just constantly felt an air of cheesiness while watching any episode. I sitll liked them though. I think I've watched every single episode, but not in a long time.

Not you, Zeph.
Oh.
I'll admit it. I'm a loser. I have a small social circle of very close friends with similar interests. I don't particularly enjoy talking with people I have nothing in common with. If I could find a large number of people into extreme metal, I would hang out with them. Which is pretty much what the internet is. I can carry on a normal conversation, even with a girl. I only get fucked up when I'm talking to a girl I actually genuinely like and am attracted to both physically and as a person (So far I've met 3 of them). I once somehow derailed a conversation into autoerotic asphyxiation (oops). Not sure how that happened.

Anyhow. I really have very little in common with most people my age. I don't drink or smoke, don't listen to pop or hip-hop, don't go to see many movies (usually a waste of money, but some, like Indiana Jones, require a theater viewing), don't do sports, or any of that.

Also, I don't get invited to parties :waah:

Yeah. I've now seen every single episode, and I have the musical saved on my netflix queue for whenever it gets released. Eventually planning on getting the box set and rewatching with commentary etc.

Same here on most of that stuff. I get invited to parties but rarely go because all the people here are fucking morons and I hate them.
 
Tr00. I prefer just to get hammered with a small group of people. Large parties are depressing, everyone getting drunk and throwing up all over the place... much better to chill out in a nice warm - and small - shed or something, with some loud music, booze and drugs, somewhere with a dozen people you know, and actually like, whereas I always end up trying to stop myself punching someone at anything larger.

I hardly ever get invited to parties or to go clubbing, and usually don't go when I am. Gigs are waaay fucking cooler anyway.
 
Listening to Ad Inferna, and I've just noticed that the new Ihsahn album has been leaked.

And as for drinking, I usually only go out with a few people or if I attend parties, they're the kind that I'm invited to where there's only 15-20 people at most. I can't stand huge parties where everyone's invited. As FenriR mentioned, they can be depressing because you've got people throwing up all over, and not to mention far too many sluts and people looking to hookup, and just generally people I don't like.
 
I go to parties because getting wasted is fun.

I'm in the horrible position where I was a complete geek during my first years in Comp, and now lack both the ability, or the effort, to uphold the image.

I end up being a very thick, uncool person.

But atleast I'm not short on the friend side. This year schools kinda been divided into Kids Who Play Sports and Look Their Age, and Kids Who Don't.
 
WIAF you sound like I was in high school. None of my friends drank or partied and everyone who did was dumb and I didn't like them. I think I had a decent circle of friends because my interests are fairly well rounded, but high school social life is so full of bullshit and drama and stuff I hate that I just chilled with my friends and did stuff I liked.

College for me has been a lot better. Everyone here is smart (you have to be to get in) and parties contain lots of people I like. Drinking of course is fun when you do it in this context. Also there are a lot of hot girls. My social skills have gotten a lot better as a result.

If I were you I wouldn't worry about not going to parties and stuff, but also don't be afraid to talk to people you might not have considered.

Also do not drink a whole mickey of rum in one night :blush:

I get the feeling you really want me to come to University of Toronto. :p

Yeah, I'm hoping college will weed out the total dipshits and there'll be enough people there that it won't be hard to find people I like.
 
Finding out about seeing Dream Theater in May. My friends bought tickets and said they were sold out but I saw some for DC on the 26th (of May). Hopefully thats the one they're going to and hopefully I can go.
 
I'm pretty similar to you guys. In high school all my friends started drinking and smoking weed and shit. I wasn't really into that so when they invited me to parties and stuff I would decline. They eventually stopped inviting me to parties since they realized I didn't want to come, and we would just hang out during non-party times instead.

I did lose a few friends that way, though.
 
I only hang out with about 4 or 5 different people, mostly because I detest the vast majority of my peers. I've been told that I am well liked by most people, but I just don't like to associate with most people, simply because they don't share any common interests with me and don't bother to develop any mildly unique interests of their own. Maybe I'm just a giant prick, who knows.

When it comes to drinking, I usually just do it by myself to cop a buzz or get slightly drunk on my own, since I haven't found anyone else that I would want to have a few drinks with without acting stupid.
