@ManWithSoap: That's hilarious! If I ever feel like being funny, I'll give that a shot.
@IndomitableSam: Ditto, basically. I go out for Uni... and that's really it. Once a month there's a writer's social group in the city, and once a month there's a writer's critique group (specifically SF) that I go to when I can. It's pretty much people in their 30's at least, mind you. (seems the only options are 30+ or teen/under 21...)
I should get a job.
@Pixels: Now that you mention that, I just remembered there's a SF bookclub in my city! Now, what's it called...?
@Lilani: Yeah, bars are over-rated, as far as people go. BUT my local plays my kind of music. I HATE club music. Give me pub rock any day. (I sound like an oldie now). I really only go with my friend, we hang, chill, drink, listen to music we like (live) and keep away from people. It works well enough for us. And we tend to go to karaoke anyway which a) has people who are older, wiser, less dickheaded, etc and b) it's karaoke. Yes, I do that. But it doesn't mean I socialise, not much anyway. My brother comes with. He enthusiastically makes a fool of himself despite not being a) Asian or b) even slightly drunk.
So I have a... not really love/hate relation with my local bar as much as a lukewarm relation.
Student groups, I'm not aware of ANY good ones at Uni. But I haven't looked in years, so... might as well look. Thanks for that.
