What was going through my mind last night while I was trying to fall asleep

I've often referred to myself as a "self chosen anti-social", but the more I think about it, the more I realize that that is not an accurate description. I wouldn't call myself anti-social, because I do like to hang out with people, just not people my own age. If I was given the choice between going to a party with kids my own age, or going to get coffee with my mom and her friends, I would honestly choose the latter option. I don't want to sound self-centered, but I honestly see myself as more mature than a lot of my classmates (mind you, not all of them, just a majority), so I would rather hang out with people who I can have intelligent conversations with. By intelligent, I mean about something other than who is throwing a party this weekend, or where you got your nails done.  I'm sure that's not typical of most high school kids, but I guess I'm not a typical 17 year old high schooler. Let's share some examples of how I'm not "typical." Instead of sitting in the student section at sporting events, cheering and having fun with classmates, I sit with my parents so my dad can explain what the heck is going on to me. I would rather stay at home and play Mario Kart with my sister or Wii Bowling with my family than go hang out with my friends. My parents seem to not mind that I'm not a typical teenager,  because they always know where I am at, and that I'm not getting into any trouble (because I'm usually just down the hall.) I guess if I was a parent, I would also take comfort in knowing that instead of getting an alcohol possession at a party on Saturday nights, my daughter is laying on my bed watching The Lawrence Welk Show while making macrame bracelets.....
