"You have to go out," people tell me occasionally.
"Why?" I say. "'Out' is just like 'in', only without the comfort and the things I need."
What I don't get it that by "out" or "fun", people generally mean clubs and pubs and parties. In other words, noisy, crowded places where you can't hear each other talk, so you have to ingest alcohol or other drugs to pass the time. Big woop. Sure, that's how I want to spend my time and money. Not.
Have much the same problem, in the Arts you get lots of invites, but going out all the time is both tiring, and sometimes just boring!
ReplyDeleteThe older I get, the more I say `no`.
My favourite type of night out is with good friends in a local pub where we can get together to catch up with each other.
I am happiest at home working on artwork, but I haven`t had much time to do that lately because of work!
Problem is, when friends don`t see you in a while, they all start phoning each other as if there is something wrong!
