I didn&#8217;t mean to make fun of people who get drunk a lot. I just tried presenting it in a humorous fashion, mostly. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m better just because I&#8217;m sXe (oho, new acronym I found, sounds like &#8220;sexy&#8221; &#8211; but I&#8217;m trying to be modest here), I just wonder why people wish they were more like me.<br \/>\nHere, I&#8217;ll present a few more points that will seem to make me sound better than everyone else &#8211; I&#8217;m intelligent. I have a high IQ. I attribute some of the choices I&#8217;ve made in the past to the fact that I can think more independently than a lot of people. Those who might not be as sharp succumb more easily to group activities, like drinking and doing drugs.<br \/>\nThe obligatory disclaimer is that some people DDR (drink and do drugs, gahah) by choice. I know that not everyone who drinks is stupid. A lot of people (and the majority of people I&#8217;m friends with who choose to do this, come to think of it) are very smart and they still choose to have fun at parties this way. I just have to freaking emphasize that I&#8217;m NOT against doing this, and that&#8217;s leading to my main point &#8211;<br \/>\nSometimes I wish I had lived my life differently. Just like any elementary school nerd strives to fit in, I&#8217;ve always wondered what it&#8217;d be like if I wanted to party hard and experience what lots of other people experience. Instead, I&#8217;ve decided to not do all that stuff. My question, though: is it so much better that I don&#8217;t do it? Everyone says it is, but they&#8217;re the ones having so much fun while my free time activities seem so&#8230; limited, you know?<br \/>\nI guess <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~agentkinesis\">yukon makoto<\/a> (and many others) is right when she says that drinking and drugging and all this stuff is what you do when you can&#8217;t think of anything fun to do with your time&#8230; but then again, DDR every night of my life also gets a bit tiring.<br \/>\nHuh. I guess what I wonder about is whether it&#8217;s too late for me to adopt a lifestyle like that. Is my lifestyle so rigid, and is my claim to straightedgedness so important&#8230; and based on what I&#8217;ve already gone over&#8230; is it WORTH it?<br \/>\nNah, probably not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think people misinterpreted my previous blog.
