I got off of work tonight around 9:30 and decided I'd go for a walk first thing when I got home to cool off (There was a nice cool breeze) and I was sweating to death from running around at work.
Anyway, I get home and start my peaceful walk (It's usually very calm this time of night, which is why I walk then. There usually are no cars, and no people. Tonight, I see this cab pulled over at the side of the road (near no houses) to let like 50 kids out...ok so it was more like 5-7. The started yelling and screaming just about EVERY imagenable curse word you could think of. They even were yelling at the cab as he drove off. I was going to yell "GROW UP" but I'm not so brave when I'm alone at night..
I continue walking, and eventually the road I was on meets up with the one they are on. I slowed my walking down intentionally so I wouldn't have to walk past them. I heard them yelling at each other, then one said 'Shut up, he's got all the beer' I wouldn't be suprised if they aren't even 19 and old enough to drink. Anyway, I tried to push it out of my mind and continue my walk.
Later, I get down to this school parking lot, and a couple of cars are parked there. A bunch of kids are there talking and yelling, again. I see atleast one of them drinking out of a bottle - assuming it's beer. They quickly get in their cars and speed off. They even looked like their were drinking the way they drove..unless they're just being careless and playing around which I've also seen.
Before I could push THAT to out of my mind, some guys pull up to me and ask if I know some guy. I didn't. I was tihnking this guy was having a party because of all the traffic though. Usually, no cars this time of night, but tonight there were a lot. I saw a few more cars having 'a race' as well. They were going very fast, and very close to each other. The road isn't even that long..it just 'ends' not far from where they were speeding.
I think that's so stupid. It's like, people NEED alcohol to have fun. It's everywhere. I personally cannot stand alcohol (Not that I don't like it..I've never really tried it to know, but just the fact people seem to need it so much) I doubt I'll change my opinions on it either, it sickens me. Even if my friends tried forcing me to do it 'for fun' I'd sooner tell them to get lost then give in and get drunk or whatever. I am of age, but I felt the same for as long as I can remember. For example, those guys to me, look like complete idiots. Why would you want to reduce yourself to be like that..Maybe I'm the crazy one, cause I seem to be the only one around here who doesn't like to drink. My 'friend' (not so much my friend as a friend of a friend) thinks I'm stuck up or a goodie goodie cause of my choises. That really annoys me, but I guess I am proud I don't.
Anyway, I've rambled on for a while. What do you think of it? Does this happen a lot where you live too? (I can only imagen lol)
