when I come up with excuses why I don't want to go clubbing... geez I'm old at the ripe age of 23... smh

I'll be 26 in August and I felt this 5 years ago. My sister (24) thinks I'm lame b/c I don't like to go out. Sorry I don't like to be at clubs where ppl fight. I LIKE remembering what I did last night too, so no, I don't like to drink or smoke. I HAVE A JOB THAT I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP!! LOL

1. Writing out the check for the mortgage
2. Deciding on what colors to paint the house (and none of them are Antique white )
3. Having grown folks discussions with Mr. Starfish and understanding what my mother meant about men @ times.
4. Truly learning who is a friend and who is not.
5. Hearing folks call me Mrs. ____ _____

LOL I started partying (again) when some of you stopped. I went out a lot when I was like 19 when I was a social Greek. Then I dropped out, and had anti-social friends who didn't like to do isht but have movie nights and eat at Denny's. I got out on occasion, but like once every other month. Made different friends at 23 (still kept the old) and started going out again. Added more friends at 24, and have been exposed to isht I thought I would never see, lol.

I feel you all on clubs though, what's fun about being packed in a dark place with music so loud you feel it in your chest? Then there's the fights, and random guys trying to grind you. I like to stick to bars, lounges, and having drinks at people's houses. I like to drink enough to get buzzed, but not enough to pass out or vomit. I was never into binge drinking.
