since when were smokers at parties interesting to talk to, they're main conversation is who they're going to f that night. yawn. my idea of a party is 10 people sitting on the couch talking drinking wine, talking about music, theory, politics, life, etc. Not "eh, want to f" conversations. Guess I'm too old for the university crowd.

SD- this is going to sounds "parental", so I apologize, but I think it's important.
It's really important to talk to lots of different kinds of people in life...and not dismiss anyone who isn't "intellectual" enough. You have a lot of interests (music, sports, travel, current events, etc.) that can start a common dialogue with just about anyone. When you finish college and start a career or business, you will be EXPECTED to have good interpersonal skills if you want to succeed. I'm not asking you to like everyone you meet, or want to spend vast amounts of time with every single person. But please learn to communicate with the proletariat.
One more thing...don't take yourself so seriously all the time. Believe me, I'm NOT telling you to go get trashed at every opportunity, but I don't want you to kid yourself about people.... a lot of influential people (writers, politicians, theorists) like to party... and they certainly did when they were attending college. A friend of ours goes to Whistler with David Suzuki... who likes to party like a rockstar.
