Don't just mention the coolest things you can think of.


I am just trying to work out what the hell everyone else is doing as I often find my self stuck for something to do that doesn't involve spending money or having a picnic.

I paint most days but that might only be for a couple of hours. I jam on weekends with a group of friends but that is only twice a month maybe. I work 20 hours a week.
There is a lot of time in between those hobbies that I have to wonder where it all goes.

oh my thread that is.
i m an idiot for not painting all the fucking time.
the most i do with in a day is 4-5 hours with some breaks and i have days gone through without having done anything.
i m unemployed for almost 2 yrs now - i had some productive periods but not all the time.

When you are at home what are you doing?

im mostly at home this last year.
wasting/taking my time with my morning coffee.
i go to my parents to eat and that takes some of my time aswell.
i at least had yoga classes last winter.
im watching way to many series (LOSS OF TIME).

When you are at work what are you doing?
mostly used to be on the net and did more 'researches' than now at home.

When you are sitting with your friends (if you have any) what do you talk about
oh fuck that, i need new friends to motivate me intellectually
but im not changing the fact that i laugh a lot with my friends.


How often do you see your friends?
i lurve for nights when they ll say we arent gonna meet.
dont mean this as bad as it sounds.
i would say i meet with people 4 times per week on average.



Where do you go with your friends?
bars/clubbing
i want people who would go to bars that i dont normally do. :(
like underground booze places with rock music and few people.

edit! of course at eachother's houses.
bars/clubbing used to be 1/per week or per fortnight.

define coolest thing

I am just trying to work out what the hell everyone else is doing as I often find my self stuck for something to do that doesn't involve spending money or having a picnic.

i have no idea what everyone else does. i really stopped giving a shit about them a long time ago. i have my own rules. "they" can suck it.

I paint most days but that might only be for a couple of hours. I jam on weekends with a group of friends but that is only twice a month maybe. I work 20 hours a week.

i hate to tell you this but as you get older your friends each go in their own direction and become less central to your life.

There is a lot of time in between those hobbies that I have to wonder where it all goes.

i don't know, but you could take up cooking. the returns are huge.

Get up to something as in to do something.
Are you not familiar with that term?




i wont say you are wrong but it doesn't have to be like that not if you play by your own rules as you say you do so your self. I am 26 and have been living out of home for the last 6 years, I am well aware of the way things can go but thank you for the advice. :rolleyes:

it's not my native language so idioms sometimes trip me up. i have a small art-related business and i'm building a house.


you make up your rules for yourself but not for the others, so they can drift away. they start making babies or getting into their careers and they just won't be around on a tuesday night to go for a drink. it just happens.

of course there will always be other people, but in the end for the most part it's back to one's partners/families. just the way the cookie crumbles (ah, there's that idiom). not advice but just an answer to your question of what people do, etc., as things change.
