So today i went out with one of my friends who smokes and drinks and his friends who smoke and drink. I dont drink and smoke. We go to this courtyard that right next to the beach and hang out. my friend starts meeting some new people, they also smoke, they all start smoking. Most of the time im kind of hovering around, just smiling and laughing to keep the vibe while they talk about drugs,there trips, guitars, random band memebers ive never heard of etc.
so i look around the courtyard and see like 200~ high school students smoking drinking and talking and im like WTF, i don't get it. these people spend 4-7 hrs just doing stupid ****, talking smoking and drinking, things i could do anywhere else while i do something else, something more creative and amusing than just smoking and drinking. I would have much rather have stayed home and played video games/watched a movie/ read a book/ invite a friend over, than go smoke drink and talk for hrs while do absolutley nothing. Now, dont get me wrong, im not anti social, i love talking and laughing with people, but while im doing some creative, entertaining, or really anythng as long as it requires some attention.
I feel like all these "popular" guys are not really popular, there just people with nothing else better to do than better other people who have nothing else better to do than drink and smoke. my friends aren't the most alpha, and most of them have never kissed a girl, but they are random, fun, admirable. Everyone in school thinks half of them are a bit a weird (one of the guys in my grade (which only has 50 people) says im the link between my group of friends and the rest of the grade cause i talk to everyone) but they're funny and chillin'.
i have a question to, for those than dont smoke or drink (or dont drink too much) how do u deal with the people who do, espcially the girls that smoke (i dont mind drinking too much since i cant smell it and it feels more acceptable). the smell of ciggaretes is such an annoying thing to me, i really really really hate it, which is another reason why i dont like to go out.
