What are you ESCAPING from?

[Kae]

Huh... escaping... I'm not really escaping from anything I think, I don't have anything to escape from, I mean I'm escaping from my past but not to here, that's more like in the physical sense, like living away from my past and not communicating in any way with the people I used to know, so yeah I have nothing to escape from by coming here because in my reality I am already escaping from something... Does that even make sense? I don't think anything I say or do makes sense actually...

Boredom, so I imagine soonish i'll be gone a lot more
But really just for entertainment and community.

 

[Dango]

From a lonely, friendless, miserable life.

 

[Zen Toombs]

I'm here for fun and profit of course.

 

[soren7550]

Now a days, I'm here due to crippling loneliness. I simply have no one to be with or talk to.

Sleep

Boredom mostly. I'm generally here with a cup of tea when I'm waiting for other venues of entertainment to open up.

I should be drawing/updating at least three things right now but how can I do that WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET I HAVEN'T SEEN

 

[Sandjube]

I dunno. Reality I guess. The internet/gaming/reading is, for the most part, just so much entertaining and exciting than real life.

 

[Torrasque]

Reality is what I am escaping from. The crippling ache of loneliness and an empty wallet.

I have games, anime and books to escape from my reality. My only problem is that reality comes rushing back to me when I stop reading, pause a game, or put down my book.
I come here to escape from my immediate surroundings and cast myself to the corners of the net, finding out happenings around the world and talking to people who might be doing the same.

Escaping? Nothing really. Im actiualy hoping to Escape from the Escapist. Getting reaaaaaly sick of the people on these forums.

 

[Jegsimmons]

Every day i come to the ESCAPIST to escape from my work, life problems, financial issues.
All i want is enjoyment, news from the "future" of media, science, oppinions on games that
i, sincerely said, don't really have time to play anymore.
It is good to know what is going on somewhere totally outside of my work horizon,
to be up to date on the console front, to laugh with Yahtzee's fantastic and honest reviews.
And
WHY ARE YOU HERE?

.......bad puns.

Boredom mostly. I can't bring myself to every really do my homework till the last minute, there is literally nobody hiring in Tucson, so I end up having a great deal of downtime.

Or procrastination. Right about now I'm procrastinating doing my relatively simple work out routine.

Currently?
A lab report, a statistical analysis of crime in my area and an essay on some legislation, plus numerous pieces of reading I should have been doing since last September.
In general: the boredom of a Monday night, one of my housemates stupidity and the others oddities.

Schoolwork. The Escapist is so much more interesting.

 

[Argtee]

I go on the internet and play video games to forget about my shitty life.

At the moment, sleep. I drank to much coffee. It kinda sucks because I'm tired and want to go to bed.

This is just one of the (admittedly) few places that I, er, 'escape' to on a daily basis. Nothing spectacularly amazing is happening with life. It's a clockwork cycle of just sitting around in class, and sitting around at home.

And also, I'm incredibly lazy. So, having forums and news to browse helps when faced with the daunting task of doing some math.
