YELLOW Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Hmm I've only read Animal Farm and 1984 by Orwell. I wonder what Zeal and co will make of your above statement, Chubbo? Maybe you should try and escape the routine, do something different. We all make it our New Year's resolution to have a better and more fulfilling social life but we never quite achieve it because of certain barriers, the most important being, money!!

Chubbhead EFM Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 They'll probably think I'm a typical student or that I'm a lightweight. But it's not that I don't enjoy drinking- I do. It's probably just a phase I'm going through. I think I need to a) Find new drinking partners Find a new place to drink, other than O'neills and possibly outside St Albans. The thing about Zeal, Canv, EFMTFTV etc is they're experienced at this drinking game and know how to keep it 'fresh' (see one thread where they talk about global drinking) and I bet their friends don't mind going to different places. But my friends are such stick in the muds and so routine. I think the core of the problem is not the drinking, I think that's a sympton. I think what I'm really questionning is should I hang around with these friends anymore, who no longer, how can I put this, 'suit' my personality. That sounds terrible!

Chubbhead EFM Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 And by the way in my post when I talk about 'idiots' I don't mean drinkers in general, I mean some people who were acting like idiots in O'neills last night <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YELLOW Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 The problem I've got is that when I first started going out drinking it was with a large group of mates. Unfortunately several moved away(and these were the ones who were really up for doing different things) Of the group of mates I go out with currently, two of them are real stick in the muds, one is quite up for a change of routine but often works on a Saturday night and the other two are not always around. So that just leaves me and my mate Paul. We could just say sod it, we'll go to a different pub but it's not much fun if it's just us two if the others are busy! You'll probably find your life will change when you go to Edinburgh. You'll make new friends and have a totally different way of life. Also once you are in full time work your habits will change.

Chubbhead EFM Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 This bloke though, I've grown up with him (he's my brother's best mate) but we've gone in dofferent directions which makes things difficult. He just drifts through life, if he makes a promise he'll break it, if he says he's gonna do something he ends up not doing it-he keeps saying he's gonna start a band but he never has, he said he was going to change university-he hasn't, he said he was going to move to london-he hasn't. People like that annoy me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELLOW Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I assume that this bloke is older than you then? If he is not going to do these things, then why talk about them. The mate I was talking about lacks ambition. He is quite content with his life but he doesn't even know what he wants to do with it. He keeps drifting from one job to another, now he is doing some course at college!! Oh yeah!, I forgot to mention he doesn't drink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbhead EFM Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 This bloke is 20 (soon to be 21). His mates are all older then him though, like 30+, and he just follows whatever they say. He's very easily led, except by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELLOW Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 That's bad! It seems that he is out to impress all these new mates but doesn't value the ones who have known him for years and will never let him down and always be faithful to him. Unfortunately I know alot of people like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
