 Priorities out of whack

I think I may be a little messed up. When I was 13-15, I lived in California and Arizona. All I really cared to do was play video games and play hockey (roller hockey and ice hockey).

 I moved to Burlington, Ontario, Canada, where I lived before moving to the US, when I was 20, and it was the first time I was surrounded by other 'kids', from the ages of 14-25, without any real adult supervision or intervention. I noticed that the 14-15 year olds only wanted to drink beer, do drugs (mostly weed, but a little coke), and have sex. Also, the 18-25 year olds had the same three things on their minds constantly. Now, being somewhat older than most of these people, but being surrounded by them all the time, you'd think I'd have a little bit in common with them. And its not like I never talked to any of these people. They were, and some still are, my friends. They were at and around the same house I was living in all the time, day in, day out. And of course, they were drinking beer, doing drugs, and having sex all around this house (not so much the sex), all the time. One would think that I'd just go along with the group, but one would be wrong. The only things I wanted to do were play hockey and play video games and ust generally hang out. 

The priorities changed for me a little (hockey became more important), but they were still relatively the same. And because none of my friends played hockey, I didn't really do that with them. But still, being 20 years old, you'd think I'd make the obvious change and do what everyone usually wants to do....

Now, being 23, I have moved on from that situation. I live alone and go to University. Now my priorities are as follows: Play hockey, pass my classes, generally hang out with friends. Again, a change, but still not what people would call typical.  No mention of girls, drugs, partying (I'm in university for gods sake) or any of the stuff that is going on all around and would be extremely easy to get into if I so desired. But I don't. Maybe its immature, or maybe its just different. All that typical teenager/early 20's shit just doesn't interest me and never will.

So I don't know if there is anything wrong with me, or with everyone else.....All I know is that I don't really want a girlfriend, a job, or drugs, alcohol or parties. If I were given a choice between all the sex in the world with whomever I want, or hockey all the time forever, I would go with hockey. And I'm not being a stupid stereotypical canadian about this either. Its honestly what I really really enjoy. Its the only thing I really get into and absolutely love to do. Im not really that great at it, but it doesn't matter. Nothing else makes me feel better, and nothing, I mean NOTHING is as fun.

Yeah we all go through that stage in life. I used to be addicted to old DOS games like Duke Nukem.
