Putting most of this under the more section. It's a story and then a rant at the end. People are stupid.

The adult lifestyle. What is that? I don't know, but apparently I don't understand it at all.

Last night I went out with Melanie, Kelli, and Ernie to Ernie's friend Jim's house. I'm not gonna lie, I drank. However, as opposed to everyone else there, I had 3 drinks the entire night. Three weak drinks. And considering that we went over at like 9 and I didn't get back until 4 in the morning, that's not that shabby. I'll explain that soon though.

Apparently barely drinking so that I can take care of my friends and make sure they don't do anything stupid makes me a buzzkill. Yea. At like, 1:30 in the morning it was just me, Melanie, Jim and Jim's friend Tyler. I refuse to call him my friend because I hate him. Kelli and Ernie had left because they didn't want to be there anymore. I would have left too except Melanie was very drunk and I was not leaving her alone with those two cuz they're creepers. Anyway, so, Kelli called and wanted us to come home, so I let her talk to Melanie and then I was like Kelli really thinks we need to leave and get home Melanie and of course Melanie, being drunk and all was like but I don't wanna go I'm having fun. And I was like fine, jeez, we'll leave when you're ready.  But apparently me trying to make her leave and stop drinking made me a buzz kill. Heaven forbid I try to take care of my friends. No, that's horrible. Anyway, people were coming and going and eventually it settled down. Jim's roommate, her supposed cousin, Tyler, Jim and this creepy kid nicknamed Killer were there. Killer kept hitting on Melanie and we were texting back and forth making fun of him. He's really dirty and Melanie had sobered up enough by this point that there was no chance in hell of that ever happening.

Anyway, I was trying to keep Melanie in relatively one spot though. And I was doing a pretty good job of it. I didn't want her wandering around and getting hurt some how. But apparently that's horrible too. I need to not take care of my clearly intoxicated friend and let her take care of herself. Yea. I told Mel that and then I was like I'm gonna leave if you want me to so you can have fun and she was like NOOOOOO DON'T LEAVE ME. She thought I was mad at her, which, I definately was not lol. It was slightly amusing actually.

Finally, at like 3:30 I was like Melanie we should really go. There being really loud and look at how late it is. What if the cops show up, do you really want to be here? Because I don't. And thank god she agreed. So we left and came home. And little miss "I'm not tired I'm so wide awake and I'm not drunk at all" passed out on the couch 5 minutes after we got home. Kelli was sleeping on the futon and I woke her up and tucked her in lol and got her some Kool-Aide because I didn't know if she had had any water or not. So then I made macaroni and cheese and got myself some Kool-Aide, turned out the lights, locked up and came up to bed.

That was my night. But I don't get the "adult lifestyle". According to some people, i.e. Jim and probably Jim's friends, the adult lifestyle is getting drunk all the time, going to bars, getting high, and not taking care of anybody and not caring what people do. I should have just left Melanie to her own devices because she can take care of herself and I shouldn't make sure that my friends don't do stupid things because hey they're old enough to know better. Even if they've been drinking and are quite drunk, they can make good decisions based off of that. I should just be irresponsible and take things from my friends, like dog food that I can't afford to buy for my dog because I spent all my money on booze and weed. If that's the adult lifestyle, screw that. I don't want any part of it.

I would rather sip at one or two (or three if I'm there really long) drinks over an entire night and watch over my friends and make sure that they don't get hurt or do something really stupid. I would rather be able to walk them home and make sure they don't get stopped by the police and get them water or food or whatever they need. I would rather be responsible and not drink or get high everyday. I have goals and a future that most, if not all, of those people do not. In my opinion, I lead far more of an adult lifestyle than they do, but I may be wrong.

If their way really is the adult lifestyle though, screw that, I will live my child like lifestyle for the rest of my life then. Because I would rather be a responsible child than an irresponsible adult
