I can never think to say this when people say something like that to me, but...really? Does this go for all experiences? Like, maybe I would actually enjoy having surgery without anesthesia or jamming a fork through my hand; how do I know since I haven't tried it? And also, you know the common wisdom about learning from your mistakes? Learning from other people's mistakes is an even better idea, because then you don't have to make them yourself!
And yes. You are clearly uptight because you do not subscribe to the (actually quite narrow) societal definitions of having fun, which generally seem to involve lots of sex and substances that are not overly good for the body.
Also need to write post for book blog BUT WHAT ABOUT.
...vampire books better than Twilight? The tragic duty of booksellers to destroy remaindered books? The difference between good and bad covers or good and bad blurbs?
