^yeah that's about all you can do. I love the party setting; people having fun, letting loose. But I still insist on speaking of things that are more elevated in that setting. I usually construct my comments in such a way that they can be easily grasped by those under an influence, but they tend not to remember the next day, much less remember my face.

Going to a library or cultural groups can help, but it seems like most of them are intellect-only and aren't much fun. It's really tough to find a person who appreciates elevated thinking but can also have fun in a devil-may-care manner.

Any friend I've ever had my entire life, I've either met by accident or through an existing friend. Making a structured effort to get friends always seems artificial and forced, so I just let friend-making happen on its own, which wouldn't be tolerable if I wasn't very comfortable being alone.
