I try to find a balance, during the weekdays I'm completely tame and work diligently, but come the weekends, I get together with my friends and get trashed.

I went to this one party where we played nerdy card games, chess, and had piano competitions. It was a fun experience, though.

No, I've never touched alcohol, and I've never smoked a joint.
Did I forget to mention I'm also 18?

The only parties I've been to since starting high school are a couple of after-parties after last year's Homecoming and one with the cross country team freshman year.

Birthdays and holidays we party quite a bit, but not big, crazy kind of parties! There'll be 5-10 of us and we'll maybe go out to a concert or show, then stay up all night talking, eating and drinking (I don't drink though). I like it, we have fun but it's still private and friendly.

"I've had beer before at a party for the place I worked but the party was literally the nerdiest thing on Earth. It was beyond hilarious- people were having pippette firing competitions and the prizes were free things donated from biotech companies."
Can we party together? I want to have a pipette firing competition.
I lose at ten fingers against people would be normal cc'ers, so I guess I'm not that innocent. Chalk it all up to two fairly small and tame drinking parties/my desire to try anything safe at least once.
Other than that, my parties with friends involve staying up ridiculously late talking, playing board games/wii party games and eating unhealthy food. Those are the best parties  . (We ended up doing a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle on New Year's eve. It was great.)

Not really party-parties. My group of friends like to go to movies or concerts or play board games or Dungeons and Dragons ... we're a pretty tame set of nerds. I mean we went to Homecoming and go to birthday parties but nothing crazy

Most people who don't know me think my grades suck because I screw around a lot. They're always surprised to see my semester grades because I always kick their asses.
But classes bore me and I'd much rather hangout with friends than do my homework. I go clubbing quite a lot, and I get drunk quite a lot. Still... I know my limits and I stop messing around when it's time to stop. I'm not gonna be studying 24/7 and not have any kind of fun or life but I'm also not gonna screw my life over

Your post is contradictory.

"Personally, I'd rather have fun and get a few B's than study all day and get straight A's"
AMEN to whoever said this, not to be cliche but you're only this age once. We have the rest of our lives to work and be serious. And so what if you get all straight A's in the 10th grade? Doesn't mean your life will be any better/ more successful then the guy who got straight B's
So yes, I do party

My life sounds pretty sad, but I don't think I've been to a party for the past 2 years or so.

@Rashel
But, if you get straight As in high school you will get into a better college (and thus have better job prospects) than a person who got straight Bs. Therefore on the average the straight A student is more successful and will have a better life than a straight B student..

It's perfectly possible to have fun and get straight As, it just requires a lot more commitment to time management and effective studying than most people can be bothered with. Also being at least reasonably naturally smart is probably essential.
I don't drink, but I made an exception for my best friends' 16th last week, as it was only champagne and to be polite. But it was properly gross, which was enough to put me off alcohol again.

No.
I get together with some friends but we mostly go rollerskating or play video games. I have never been to a real high school party and I'm fine with that because it takes the pressure off. I'm not a very social person so parties aren't my scene anyway especially since my school is known in the county as the "stoner artsy school". Yes, I'm artsy but I have no interest in the "stoner" part.

No.
The reasons:
1. I don't have friends - only acquaintances, most of whom don't like me very much. They tell me I should go to dances with them and then they proceed to ignore me the whole time.
2. I don't really see why I would want to go to someone's nasty house and drink cheap beer from Save-a-Lot?
