Am I Just Too Serious?

So I’m not much of a party guy, but I’m not extremely boring or something. I’m supposed to be a pretty funny guy at school and I’m somewhat popular. But I went to my first party last week and it was just really lame. Everyone at my school’s always going on and on about how parties are so awesome, but I didn’t really see what was so great about it. It was basically just a bunch of drunk people running around, proclaiming their greatness for drinking more than other people. People were puking all over the place, using the bathroom in, well, everywhere but the bathroom. Random drunk girls stumbling into me and talking incoherently into my ear. Other people just pretending to be drunk. And unpopular kids trying desperately to drink as much as they can and getting as drunk as possible so they could finally be “cool”. Maybe I’m just too critical of people, but if that’s what parties are like, I just don’t see the fun in them. I’m not like some kind of Puritan who never throws back a few. I guess it could have been the fact that I was driving, so I couldn’t have too much. But even if I had I doubt the experience would have been much different. And what also bothered me was how much fun sober people were having taking facebook pictures of drunk people doing embarrassing things or goading drunk people into hooking up just so they could humiliate them the next day.

I just don’t really know where I’m supposed to be in the high school spectrum because I’m tired of hanging out with kids who just talk about video games and grades all day, yet I do not want to hang out with these supposedly cool kids who get wasted every weekend. There doesn’t seem to be much of an in between. I’m not a loner or anything. I have a group of people I eat lunch with and I occasionally hang out with other people I’m familiar with. But I just don’t fit with anyone because I always end up hating their guts or thinking they’re really immature or stupid. As arrogant as that sounds, I can’t really help it. :/
