4. Halloween Outings and No Shows

I know a lot of people that love Halloween especially college students. I like the holiday to a point but sometimes I think it is a bit too much. Every year there are at least 15 parties going on in a very near radius. I hate going to parties. I think that they are just an excuse for people to get rowdy and do things that they otherwise wouldn't do. On Halloween there was a party at my apartment complex that got way out of hand. People got nice and intoxicated and then started to grope each other. I'm sorry but that really doesn't seem like that is a lot of fun. I hate huge groups of people that act like morons. I generally like small groups. That's why I went with a friend to a haunted house that evening instead. There are much better things to do than hang out with drunk people.

But even if they aren't drunk I still hate parties. I once had a group of friends and we would party all the time. We had our group of five or six and that was big enough. Then one day my dad the bishop decided that it was a great reactivation tool and invited all the youth in the ward without telling me. In the end that was the ast time I ever organized something like that at home and the last time I ever had a party. I don't even like birthday parties anymore. I hate having to please everyone that comes in and then see someone else get offended over something that doesn't even matter. Anyhow, I like things to be a little bit quieter. I hate interrupting people and getting interrupted and that is just what happens at these kinds of things.

Maybe I just feel like I'm the kind of person that doesn't belong in these kinds of parties or in parties in general. Maybe I still feel like an awkward kid and don't feel like I would be accepted there. Either way I still like doing other things better.
