And I'm sitting inside of a Starbucks, reading books and surfing the web, just so I don't have to sit in my room alone.
Weekends bum me out. I usually have no plans.
How is everyone else spending their time this weekend?

GordonGecko · 12-20-2008, 04:50 PM

Home alone, as always.

Celerian · 12-20-2008, 05:11 PM

I'm at work, watching over employees and making sure things run smooth.

cry_rain · 12-20-2008, 05:13 PM

alone by myself but I am starting think how I am and how I became how I am today

I got up at 6 and went for a jog. By 8 I had had breakfast and was in a good mood. But thats when things kinda fall to pieces. I find myself with nothing to do for the rest of the day. I practised playing the guitar for an hour, hung around this site for an hour and a bit and the rest of the time, I just lie on my bed. This has been the case everyday of the week, not just the weekends. I just can't find anything meaningful and enjoyable to do or anyone to do it with.

I'm not feeling so well tonight. Missed a dose of effexor xr by accident yesterday...and that screwed me all up. spending the night in bed with my boyfriend, depressed. :/ bleh.

Taija · 12-20-2008, 06:26 PM

Home as always.

I really need to find something to do that would even get me out of the house.

Solitario · 12-20-2008, 06:31 PM

Home alone. Played video games and surfed the web along with some online poker.

I have visions of me doing this exact thing, in this exact place, 30 years from now.

That's depressing.

My Saturdays are usually similar to what others have been saying. Unfortunately I had to work today though. I spent two and a half hours on a single support call. Oh what a day. Then I had to drive home in a snowstorm that made my one hour drive into a two hour drive.

Oh well, at least I get time and a half. And, sadly, it was probably more exciting than my normal saturday would've been.

IllusionOfHappiness · 12-20-2008, 06:42 PM

Home with the parents =/
Soon it'll be work.

I don't get it. How are you depressed in that situation?

As for my weekend, even though I'm in the same situation as every weekend (at home, no one to go 'out' with) I actually feel happy. Dunno, maybe it's the snow, maybe the humor in how new york can't operate properly when there's snow on the ground.

Parents coming back tomorrow, been with grandparents all week, I thought it was gonna suck, but it actually turned out ok... still back to my mom being extremely worried and thinking meds solve everything, and my dad generally being annoying. I also have a splitting head ache, waiting for the Advil to finally kick in...

Most of the day, I spent playing "pirates" by myself. I just put on an eye patch and a gold earring, got drunk, and screamed nonsense until someone beat on my door with a broom handle. It spanned roughly seven hours and, you know,… I lost a lot of good men on my ship. Gorgotriev, the beastly sea octopus, stole the sacred amulet and turned my men into that white substance that gets stuck to the corners of Abe Vigoda's mouth, so I had to defeat the beast on my lonesome, with only a shaker of "Morton's" salt and the guidance of my trusty parrot, Samuel.
I sincerely wish this were all true, because then I could at least say that I did something Saturday night. Unfortunately, the actual level of pathetic that my day reached rivals -and surpasses- that of this creepy story. I only left the house to buy kitty litter, if that tells you anything. I also watched Cape Fear and did a few other things, but the details are a bit hazy because the enjoyment of my life overwhelms me so.

Sounds like quite an adventure.

2Talkative · 12-20-2008, 08:52 PM

Everybody wants to be a pirate but nobody wants to poke thier eye out.

Edit: I did jack **** the whole day.... went to the post office that was it.

Cypress · 12-20-2008, 08:55 PM

I didn't do much really. A bunch of friends came home from college but I wasn't really interested in seeing most of them, so I didn't do anything.

shyvr6 · 12-20-2008, 08:58 PM

It's too cold outside to do anything. 30 below sucks.

Polar · 12-20-2008, 09:00 PM

Well I got invited to my co-worker's birthday celebration which was tonight, but I didn't go as I just didn't feel like it... Ugh, stupid depression.

KC-Blu-Eyez · 12-20-2008, 09:45 PM

Watched movies with my mother. EXCITING! Well I actually like my mother so not that bad.
