I want to party?
I think I'm internally a popular girl. Not in terms of popularity, but in terms of outlook. I used to be a nerd in middle school and high school and hated the "popular kids" but somewhere near the end of high school I noticed that I'm turning into one of them. Well, I'm not exactly them, I don't like those people but I'm finding that I share a lot of their interests.
Like I have acrylic nails, I'm a weekly visitor to the hair salon, I work at a designer store, I'm very fashion oriented, I'm obsessed with makeup, I started watching Laguna Beach and ANTM before anyone had even heard of it, I love tanning and rap music and generally everything "preppy". I used to be a computer geek and now I've forgotten so much, it's embarrasing.
So before I graduated, a friend of mine took me to a couple of parties where kids were drinking and stuff. I actually didn't want to go at first but once I got there, it was a blast and I've never had so much fun in my life... and then she moved to university.
Now here's my problem. All my friends aren't like me. They're kind of emo-ish, punkish people who like to "hang out" in a basement watching movies. This was perfectly okay with me but now I constantly find myself looking for a party. I love them too and they'll always be there for me but our lifestyle is totally different now and I think they get it.
So I'm 17 ad underage. Where can I go out and party? Or at least, how do I get my friends to start getting out too because I don't want to leave them behind. Seriously, I feel like a raver trapped in a twelve year old smart (read: not stupid enough to get myself killed) and young, and I want my life to be less boring.

Being open to people and adventures is great, just don't expect everyone else to join you. Change comes from within or it is fake and won't last. I think you need to slow down and think about people who have been there for you and the difference between partying and true friendship. I'd hate to have you regret ditching a good friend for a good time. You may not see it that way or do it intentionally, but just be aware of the possibility. You were nerdy and are obviously anxious to dive head first into fun, but remember that every action has a reaction and party girls often end up in situations that are more scary, than fun...even smart ones. Careful with the indoor tanning...not to nag, but I know that tanning more than the maximum allowed has actually led to teen deaths...seriously! You are almost an "adult," but the slightest screw up now could ruin a beautiful life, so slow down shooting star!
