Another Saturday night ...
Today is Saturday. My evening consisted of watching skating on tv, starting my group theory assignment, walking to campus to get a copy of my applied real analysis assignment, and practicing the material for my dance final at a studio at the gym. On my way home from the gym, it was clear that the majority of the people I passed by were heading to various bars. This caused me to wonder, which is sadder: The geeky manner in which I spent my Saturday night, or that everyone flocks to bars just because it's Saturday night?
My night was sad because I didn't need to work. My usual excuse that I have to much work to do just doesn't hold right now. I could do all my work tomorrow without a problem. Tonight, I was simply being my anti-social self. And I wonder why I don't have any friends.
On the other hand, there is something oh so pathetic about heading out to the bar just because it's Saturday night and you have to go out on Saturday night or you're like, totally, like, a loser. I'm all for going out for a celebration every once in a while (like at end of each term), but the idea of dressing like a whore and getting drunk every weekend is not appealing to me.
I suppose both options are pathetic in their own special way. But I chose my path a long time ago (though I suppose it chose me to a certain extent) and that's just the way it is.
You know, there really isn't any point to this post. Just an observation.

You do so have friends! :)
I definitely don't think it's reasonable to consider you a loser for choosing to stay in on Saturday nights. You're not the type of person who has trouble making friends; if you felt like going out and having some fun, I'm sure you could. If staying in and doing homework makes you happier, so be it.
I certainly chose music-related things over people on many a weekend in high school.
So, if staying in all the time was causing you to be depressed or bored or anything, then it would be a problem, I suppose. Otherwise... have fun with that applied real analysis!
Wow, I just gave no new ideas; I basically just repeated what you said. But then, just saying "I agree" isn't overly conducive to procrastination, is it?

The above thing was deleted by me. And it was because there was a blatant grammar mistake that Soosen would tease me about for days.
Here we go again:
First, of course you have friends; don't be so self-depricating!
AND, I always like to point out that it's equally as pathetic to NOT doing something because everyone else does is equally as pathetic as following trends. So as long as you're happy doing what you do on Saturday nights, that's what matters.
This doesn't add much to the "conversation," but then again I suppose it wasn't that deep to begin with.
So instead: Your hair looks hott.

Well, my new passion is social dance, so I'd say you should come out to the Ceili every month, and that you should come to swing at the Vault Monday nights.
But yeah, I think on Saturday, I pretty much stay in... or go out, with friends. But I've never been "clubbing," and I don't go do stuff just because of the day of the week.
