Home vs. Outside World

[Amelia G]

Do you spend more time at home or more time outside your home? Whichever the answer is, would you change the ratio if you could?

[Bikerpunk]

Home.

I want to engineer my life so I only ever leave it to go biking somewhere.

[Joel Awesome]

Right now I'm working 70 hour weeks and enjoying the hell out of myself, and sleeping the rest of the time. I guess I'm at a 50/50 split.
I'd like to keep that split but work in time to paint my warhammer minis (home) and more time in LA (away).

12 on 12 off, so I spend about an hour more out of my room. Unless I decide to lift, then it's like 16 hours a day outside my room. I say room because, well, I have no house anyway.

I'd rather not leave unless I'm going to do something fun. I want that ratio to be like 18 to 6 at the house.

Home. I rather enjoy being at home, although I'd happily change the location of it. I like to have alot of quiet time... and I'd probably change that my boyfriend could be home more often (to a certain degree) if he desired it.

[Holly D]

I spend most of my time at home. Although I love going out, shopping, clubbing, cinema etc, nothing beats cuddling up at home on the sofa with my bf and my dogs!

[Head Wreck]

outside world.

but the outside world does not have links to the greater outside world and phonecalls to my girlfriend get fucking expensive

[LeilaHazlett]

Home, mostly because it's too cold to go outside and I'm pretty anti-social. I would like to get out more but the social anxiety kinda ruins that

[mystoo]

Home. And work. Sometimes I get the two confused. If I had more money I'd definitely go out more but that's not likely to happen anytime soon. There's not a whole lot to do if you don't have cash.

[Mr Karl]

work and traffic take a lot out of the day, but other then that I like to spend it at home.........................my god, I'm becoming domesticated....................mooooo

[Lady Alias]

Home, home, home. Though I do go out there for class (1 - 3 hours) , work (0 - 7 hours) and food (1 hour).

[Morning Glory]

If you are homeless the outside world is your home.

[Nos]

Home for right now. When I get done with school, I won't be home at all.

I hear ya!

[soma_stardust]

home. and yes i would change the ratio...
i have this wanderlust.... but it's overridden by my fear of... um... everything.

a fair mix of home and work. I go out sometimes, but I don't always like being social. not from anxiety, but because the nature of my job is to talk and be nice to people(strangers), and sometimes I just don't have the patience to do it for free. I hate bars with music that's so loud you have to shout over it. if I wanted to shout over loud music, I'd go to work....... but yeah, I have my favorite watering holes around town.

Although we have two entirely different occupations, I know exactly what you mean. I talk enough to strangers while I'm at work. Outside of work, I just don't have the patience or the care to do it.

I'm so bad that if I happen to see my customers outside of my job, I keep my head down and walk right by them like I don't see them, just so I don't have to talk shop with them.

My time is my time.

that is exactly how I feel, and I am sometimes very selfish with my time. I'm also not opposed to telling someone (politely the first time) that I don't feel like talking to them.

This is why I could never work retail again. I absolutely cannot fake being nice anymore. I'd get my ass fired in a second.

I'm a fuckin' pro at it. It's just acting. Playing a part. When I'm off the clock though, I'm me. The real me. The real me doesn't like all the talky, talky with strangers....Too much like work. Too much like acting.

[Wickedanima]

I get worse and worse and worse at pretending to be friendly in public when I don't freaking feel like it. I think I need a quieter job. ^_^
