Really you see a movie by yourself? Hats off to you sir damn I can't work up the courage to do that (that is if you're going to a cinema).Julianking93 said:
Your average night out.

I just finished my first year at college and didn't go out much. I'm a math major, and my Honors Math homework was due Friday, hence 'Thirsty Thursdays' did not exist, QED. I had the University Taekwondo club practices on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I'd go home on Fridays to train at my home do jang's Friday (when available) and Saturday practices. I have very little life outside of doing proofs and kicking people, but dammit I like it that way.
When I do go out it's generally with my people from my college TKD club. We may or may not begin with dinner somewhere. In either case we'll end up putting money together for one of the over-21 members to buy some cheap alcohol with, drink a bit and either hang around one of their houses or head into town to find some place to make fools of ourselves to the sound of some truly terrible music (Korean Karaoke, clubbing, etc). If at a house, the party will inevitably culminate with attempts to perform TKD while inebriated. This generally manifests through performances of the first form or by playing HORSE with kick combinations that those without my magical 3rd Dan powers can't perform under the influence.

I'm surprised at how many people say that.CouchCommando said:
What's wrong with going to a movie alone?
Usually a concert, which entails at least one shot of Maker's Mark (old tradition), two beers, and the company of a woman at the show. Hasn't ended in a rocking bed frame, but that's not what I am aiming for. Sometimes just having a cute, smiling brunette by your side, enveloped by good, loud music, and the occasional hip brush is all a man needs.
I believe you can download it off the Pirate Bay but you need a serial key to use it, and that's what I'm not sure how to get--a lot of people have one but won't give me theirs or tell me where to get one.Vhite said:
True story, friends.aPod said:
Basically the story of my life since 16
Last year it was exactly the same as OPs, with a few other things mixed in.
But now there are no clubs around so I'm sat here on a Saturday night waiting for the BBQ tomorrow afternoon because no one wants to go to the pub.
Which is fair enough, pubs are shite when it's all you have all the time.
Can't wait to move to somewhere with nightlife again...

My average night out? Boxing. A good warmup consisting of a 4km run, followed by several drills, and some sparring on a fairly frequent basis. I must admit there are times when I just don't feel like doing it, but I go anyway, knowing that I'd feel like shit if I didn't. Whether or not my day is good all depends on how I do in Boxing: what my time for the run is, what I improve upon in my technique/strategy when I'm sparring, how hard I push myself - as long as I'm improving in some way, that's all that really matters to me.
I don't go to clubs often, and your quote pretty much sums up why. Also, people tend to be pretty damn hostile when they're drunk. If I went to clubs more often than I did, I'd probably end up getting into a few fights.Nickolai77 said:
I'm not a fan of the club scene. Too much blaring noise, too many insecure people, too much alcohol. I'd rather be at home with my boyfriend and friends, playing video games, watching a movie, cooking a big dinner together, or walking around town with them. When we get the chance, we do beach bon fires with guitars and marshmallows. And then sometimes it's just me at my local bookstore sketching patrons or reading books.
There's a lot of enjoyment to be found in peaceful environments.

When I go out, I either go to a concert (which doesn't happen often) or go to a movie. And then I come home. That's about it.
I hardly ever hang out with friends by choice.
They bore me too quickly.
I often go on walks by myself with an Ipod, several books, and a sketchpad.
There's a wonderful forgotten train down the road that I sit on and watch the sunset.
Since I don't have a required time to be home I just wander around the town and drink in the sights, sounds, and life of the late night.
It all sounds very poetic, but really it's just lonely.
I date of course, but I usually split up since they often require plenty of attention and I'm too busy on my own doing what I do best.
I just want a friend who doesn't need to talk, who can sit and enjoy the silence.
I just want a friend who doesn't need constant calls, who can relax alone too.
I just want a friend to tell 'I love you' too, and know that they love me too.
I just want everything that I'll never have, because no one can be perfect.
It's so nice to get this out.
Thanks Escapists!

On my rare night out, it goes thusly:
around 6pm - start demolishing a bottle of irish whisky while doing pre-night out preperation.
around 9pm - realise whisky bottle has no intention of refilling itself so it's time to start thinking of heading into the CBD.
get into the CBD, hit the same boozer I've been drinking at for 20 years. Catch up with the few old mates who have also refused to grow up and settle down.
around 9am - run out of licenced premises that will serve me alcohol so decide to head home.

Wow, I'm surprised you can hear us all from up there on your high horse.Nerdfury said:
Still sounds like a good night, just dont assume I'm perpetually wasted, or a loner for that matter
I know how you feel, and what you say about clubbing being inevitable at uni is true. I dont care for it myself, but my friends like to go and I go along with it in the vague hope something interesting might happen, I'll pull, or there will be a fight. All of which are highly unlikely.Nickolai77 said:
As you say, pubs are infinitly preferable. Less obnoxious music, less drugged up goons, and talking is actually possible.
