No you're not. I feel the same way. Crazy lights, wild music, binge drinking and insane raving is not what I'd call fun. Then again, I've always been rather conservative. Some people enjoy that kind of stuff.  

[cold_blooded_chick]

Exactly, conservative, thanks to a decade of Chinese education and parents. Sometimes it sucks to be stuck between 2 cultures... stare

i have never made a snowman, either.

and clubbing isn't all that great.

THANK YOU!

I swear! I thought I was one of the only people in this world who felt that clubbing was the most pointless piece of shananigans in the world.

xd

(No offence, of course, to you clubbing-addicts out there. Lol.)

Seriously, though... I really hate clubbing. My personality doesn't suit it and I'm quite happy to stay at home and watch TV than go out. Call me antisocial if ya like, but socialising, to me, isn't going clubbing; it's having your friends around for dinner or going out to a restaurant with them - anything but loud music, dancing and liquor. *shivers* The thought repulses me aaah.

cbc, I am glad I have found someone who feels the same way, lol.

I'm pretty conservative, Mini, but I'm also louder than people who enjoy clubbing, oddly. I'm not quiet with people I know. I like being hyper and jumping up and down and being silly and stuff. I can have a better time on Coke than I can on say a beer. Lol. Plus, I just cba with clubbing.

I don't think it's the culture that did it for me, though. It's just my parents' ethos, not culture, and the way my personality turned out. I'm individualistic and I'm also repelled by conformity so... clubbing is one of the things I know most people do that I don't want to do, and no amount of peer pressure will make me do it. *shrug* And people who don't like that can go find other people to club with. xd

Bleh. Clubbing. I am so anti-social outside of school that I don't even go to people's parties much. I hate going out (O.O hermit...). I also hate crowded places, places with many people I don't know and noisy places (which is just odd because I'm usually the main source of noise pollution when I'm with a group of friends- I am exteedingly loud and hyper and don't seem to realise it when I'm shouting). Which is usually what clubbing is about really. And I'm not even anywhere near old enough to drink yet. The taste of alcohol makes me ill >.<

T^T I breathed in a load of ammonia in Chemistry and now all I can smell is ammonia T^T It's giving me such a bad headache T^T
I hope it doesn't last all night.

@ Niph: gonk How can you enjoy Shakespeare's writing? A Midsummer Night's Dream was fine but I can't even understand the 1st line of Romeo and Juliet... And you have to THINK so much! -is not used to using my brain-  

[Minielf]

@Liani: Well, Shakespeare is not to everyone's taste. You're probably a tad too young to understand all the subtleties and intricate meanings behind the text of Shakespeare's plays. And even if you do understand them, only a person who loves literature, as Niph does, would enjoy it. Perhaps you might understand them better if you watched a film or theatre version of the plays, as they give a better context for the speech.  

[Chibito7]

@Liani: That is what's so great about Shakespeare! 4laugh  

[Sphenni]

I like Shakespeare's use of language once I understand it, but the problem is that I usually don't actually understand it...! And plus our teacher teaches it so slowly that you can't even get hooked onto the plot even if you do understand it. Out average is about 3 pages a lesson even with skipping large sections. She has to explain EVERY word... everyone's like: "Yes, we know what steel is... Yes, we know what a balcony is... Yes, we know what the stage is..."

@ Elfy: We are going to watch Romeo and Juliet in a theatre next week.

We were watching the film in class (an old version) and not many people knew what anyone was talking about, and plus Romeo looked like Zac Efron which was just too disturbing and distracted most of us from the actual film... and I swear Juliet was only about 10 years old...  

[Minielf]

Lol I've seen that old Romeo and Juliet film in class once and you're right about Juliet looking like a ten year old girl. Don't know about the Romeo looking like Zac Efron given that I saw it long before High School Musical made him famous. But yeah, it's not a good film, plus if you haven't fully memorized the written version, you might end up mixing up what happens in the play with what happens in the film. Although at least that version of Romeo and Juliet is more faithful than Baz Lurhman's version. God if you watched that you'd swear Romeo and Juliet was set in the modern era where people dueled with guns. rofl  

[cold_blooded_chick]

Yeah, that version made our class think of Zac Efron's hair. But Romeo and Juliet are meant to be quite young, I think not even in their teens originally.  

[Sphenni]

Juliet is 13. Romeo is... "much older", according to our teacher.
In that version, all the ladies were wearing big round things over their heads that looked like spiders' bodies...
And their dancing was terrible- they weren't even pivoting properly. And you could tell that Juliet was too focused on getting the steps right to think about acting and being graceful at the same time...
And the infamous "balcony" scene was way too long. He kept on saying "goodbye!" and then running back again. Half the class was gritting their teeth and roaring at the screen "JUST LEAVE ALREADY!!!!!" evil  

[Princess Rhode]

you know,
romeo and juliet met, feel in love and died all in like, four days.
if i remember correctly.

[cold_blooded_chick]

If they'd given it some thought, they might not like each other that much after all.

^^ Double post? xD

Was it even four days? It was so short. They met, and on like the next day they got married, and then they died. I mean... Juliet's 13, FGS, she shouldn't just meet someone like that and die for them 3 days later... I doubt even a 13-year old in those days would behave like that... And weren't women supposed to NOT show their feelings straight away? Isn't that a bit undignified? I thought they were all about reputations and stuff... Especially the daughter of Lady Capulet!
