I'm in college now, so most parties I go to involve drunk people standing around or dancing on the wall with loud music blaring. I tried to convince myself that this shit was really fun, but I'm really getting sick of it. I can't hear people talk because of the music, and it's just not a fun environment for me especially if I'm sober. It's the same old shit - get drunk, grab some ho, start grinding. Also, it makes me socially anxious. I just feel awkward in these types of environments, like I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Music festivals on the other hand - that's my shit. There are so many weird and different people, things, and places to go. There's so much cool shit to see if you just walk around. You can just go exploring, buy some artifacts from the hippie tents, and go discover some new music. On top of that - you can buy like any drug you want!
At festivals a lot of my friends to ecstasy, but I've done it before and I think it's a waste of money. It worked really well the first time I took it, but hasn't been the same since. Obviously smoking weed makes music sound better. Last festival I was at I was just drinking beers all day - this I enjoy the most. Except if you get too drunk you don't remember much about any of the shows you saw. Never done hallucinogens - I'm too afraid.
