so i was reading zmp’s latest post on his blog and the comments associated with it. to sum it up, he says:
Other things that my peers do that I don’t do (nor am I really interested in doing, but at the same time, feel left out for not doing), which make me feel like I’ve been living under a rock for the past two decades include drinking, smoking, clubbing, dating and any sort of sport. Basically, being young and having fun (I guess).
well while a lot of people come out and say that they feel the same way i wonder how many people say they don’t like doing that sorta stuff because they don’t have the opportunity to do that stuff. i don’t know any of the people that commented, so i can’t say what they’re really like, but i think what you end up doing has a lot to do with who your friends are. if your friends are all clubbers and like to go clubbing every week, then you’ll probably like it too because they’re your friends and that’s what you do. it’s all about societal pressures, you must like what your friends like.
so basically, i don’t know if people are saying what they are because that’s how they feel, or if it’s because their friends have pigeoned-holed them into living a certain lifestyle and their excuse for not doing those things is to say that they’re not into that sorta stuff.
also, while i’m on the topic of angering people; i just thought about it and it’s so stupid how people put things in front of their msn names so their nicks float to the top on the sort. it’s like they need to be noticed so people will chat with them. or maybe there’s some other reason? nahhhh
