Not at all Neil. I don't think there is something 'wrong' with you because you enjoy sober nights and prefer to stay healthy rather than playing russian roulette by sleeping with every girl to be had.
In fact, I respect your lifestyle (the little I know of it) very much. Just like Adrians - he isn't a slut like our good friend Jim either and there is nothing wrong with it or him.
I did not say: you do origami - what is wrong with you? Though I see how it could be interpreted that way.
You do have to admit that it is a bit funny and 'different' - not 'wrong'.
I guess a big reason to my original post was that you seem to view people who go out to bars as unresponsible heavy drinkers engaged in indiscriminatory and casual sex. While there are plenty of people fitting that picture, not all people your age that do go out get drunk every night and sleep around. IMO, it is equally wrong to paint an alernative of heavy drinking, drug taking and sex as it is to think folding sheets of paper into flowerpots indicates a a-social personality and troll.
Both are extremes and far fetched.
By all means, knock yourself out with crafts and origami, but don't neglect some other aspects of growing up in healthy doses. I don't even know if or how much you go out, nor is it any business of mine.
You posted about origami and I added my reaction
