So the "Not going out all the damned time" social experiment continues.
I've realized theres a ton more to life than going out and drinking all the time, and partying nonstop. I've developed new hobbies, dedicated time to old ones, met a ton of new people. I seriously feel enriched as a human being for getting out and seeing what I've missed out of life.
I've learned a ton more about patience...I could write a book at this point.
Tolerance is another point I've expanded on a ton...whew.
Being put in positions regularly where you have to interact with people you'd typically not have anything to talk about with will do that I suppose. More interesting is when you see the similarities you'd never really have expected to be there too.
I've found it very interesting to see how many people completely forget who you are, or that you even exist when you're not out and about 3 or 4 nights a week getting trashed with them.
The inverse of that, I've found it quite interesting how many people you used to see at the bar and b/s with that you actually have a really good time with sober.
Its been weird all in all. Lots of people I'd not have thought would be like that ended up falling into both categories. I guess its better to realize all of that early in life though eh?
