Your social life...

[Jaime_Wolf]

When you're not on the escapist, internet, playing games, work/school; what do you do?

Do you go out, or would you much rather stay in and keep yourself to yourself?


I love going out on the weekends to gigs or the pub for drinks with friends, but sone weekends I just think "I cannot be arsed" and would much rather stay in all weekend doing nothing but play games or sit on the laptop and generally slob out with TV and crap food.

Pretty much exactly the same, though I have enough work most weeks that it spills into the weekend at least a little. Also rock climbing in my spare time.

Skimming this thread pretty much confirms my suspicions about most of the Escapist community though.

I go out to skate with friends during the weekdays and on the weekends I hang out with my non skater friends. Its a good combo of getting drunk and having fun.

I've all but moved in with my gf, and I regret that some of my friendships have dissipated because of it. Shes done a good job of introducing me to her group of friends though, and that helps. I play guitar in a fairly active band, and spend a decent amount of time with my bandmates. I'll drink occasionally - usually only at parties or the bar.

I like to go out too, don't drink to much at home but at college it picks up certainly. Imo almost everything is better with other people.

Social Life? What's that? Is some type of food?

My social activity has increased of late. I usually go out to the movies or something with my friends about once a week, during the holidays, which is alot more then last holidays. Also call and msn them if that counts.

I occasionally go out with friends but it usually involves drinking, Dont get me wrong I like drinking but dont wanna do it all the time, Plus I dont like relying on people to get it for me since im not 18.

So, Mostly sit in and play Videogames, maybe draw, but college has taken the fun outta drawing so i dont draw as often as i used to.

I hang out with friends mainly on the weekends. Too much schoolwork during the week. When I finish my schoolwork there isn't enough time to go out so I just play video games.

Hmm... I am intrigued... What is this, 'social life' you speak of, my good man?

That made laugh for 5 minutes straight.

My social life consists of school and more school. Few friends but precious ones and the ocasionnal outing. My gang consists of the people that have gathered under the banner of "studying Japanese for the betterment of videogames, anime and manga". Imagine 15 geeks storming cafes, bars and restaurants with good humor, l33t speak and a lot of fucking laughs... Yes.. WE ARE SO AWESOME.

That's a pretty apt description of what I do too. Sometimes im in the mood for going out as well as visiting a friend and play games or just hang out. At others I just don't feel like it so I stay at home and find something to do on my own.

I don't really have much of a social life. Despite being 16 I don't have a driver's license. I despise sports events so I never go to any of those, I'm too much of a pussy to go to a party, and the only person I can ever get to go to the movies with me is my Mom.

I spend most of my days at home, pretending to be productive. It's a pretty good life, but part of me feels like I'm wasting my youth.

I used to have a very active and fun social life, partying and doing cool stuff with a lot of people, until I moved to America away from all my friends, now I just sit around and play games and listen to indie music.

I'm hear to join most of the rest of the people in this thread in the painful realization of my total and utter lack of a social life. Seriously, the last time I intentionally hung out with somebody was probably half a year ago.

What are friends T-T

 

[Betancore]

I try to avoid my friends when I'm not at school/protests/places I have to be. I prefer being alone as often as I can, so if I don't HAVE to be around other people, then I won't be. Although, on the whole, I guess I have a fairly balanced social life - I go out on weekends and after school, and then hibernate in my room alone whenever I can. It's probably an unhealthy habit.

 

[Mikeyfell]

what?
you're asking internet trolls what they do in their free time?

What makes you think we are trolls? (obvious self avatar joke)

My social life consists of going out and doing whatever with my friends, whenever I am not procrastinating in front of my pc. I am actually the self proclaimed King of Procrastination.

lol
I was about to proclaim my self king of procrastination but I kept putting it off

 

[Astoria]

I used to have no social life whatsoever but that's slowly changing. I spend time with friends at least once a week now, usually more than once and get invited to many more parties than I used to.

 

[superbatranger]

Social life? What is this...social life you speak of? Ever since I started working, it's like it's nonexistent.

 

[dlsevern]

I attend school, catch a movie once in a while, hang out with friends, attend a concert every so often,and when I'm at home I practice my bass guitar, read, play tribal wars, and scour the internet for interesting shit.
