I try to be more social and I even talk about going to do things with friends or acquaintances but for some reason I find myself staying home. I also find that I am completely content with that.
For starters, I don't drink anymore. It's not that I made a conscious decision to quit drinking, I just have no desire to be a sloppy mess anymore. When I drank I ended up saying things to hurt people or embarrassing myself.
I don't smoke cigarettes and being around people who are smoking makes me uncomfortable. Plus it makes my clothes smell bad.
I don't enjoy the bar scene. It's phony. People are always on drugs and acting strange. I feel obligated to say hello to people I'd rather tell to go to hell.
I'm not looking to hook-up. I have no desire to meet any douche bags who just want to try to sleep with me. I'm not actively in pursuit of a relationship. School is my main focus. That doesn't mean if someone finds me, and things feel right that I wouldn't give it a try.. it just means I am not the one doing to looking.
I'm trying to eat healthy. It seems the only thing people want to do socially is eat. Or go to restaurants. No thanks. I'd rather cook a healthy meal at home, or go putt putt golfing, or play laser tag. Fun, to me, doesn't have to revolve around greasy food.
I'd rather be at the gym. And going to the gym is something I enjoy doing alone. If someone I knew had a gym membership and wanted to go with me that would be a blast.
My house is the most comfortable place on earth. It's cozy, and cutely decorated, & it smells nice. Rex is here and always greets me with a kiss. I feel terrible when people want me to go somewhere directly after work and he's been stuck inside for 12 hours. So I end up staying home to hang out with him.
I have tons of homework. Simply stated. I'm trying very hard to get good grades in school, and that involves staying on top of my homework. And it's working, I have a 95+ average in all of my classes. Plus, if my grades slip, my parents wont pay for school or my car. So I have to keep doing well to keep my car and to avoid student loans.
I work. A lot. Ok only like 32 hours a week, but add that to 9 hours of school plus homework time, and I'm maxed out.
I'm poor! Most things to do that are fun cost money. All of my money goes to rent, food, & bills. I wish there was more free stuff to do. I'm sure there is I just need to find it, and someone to do it with me.
It's not that these are excuses, and it's not that I don't realize the importance of human interaction... I just wish people wanted to hang out and
do something other than drink and get retarded. I wanna go on study dates, movie nights, make dinner at home, take pictures around town, go to the dog park, go to the gym, even a good old fashioned trip to the mall. I guess it all boils down to the fact that I'm realizing I've grown up.
