I for one am watching TV and just relaxing. That's what I do on the weekends. I'm more of a private person, so I don't tend to find it fun to go "clubbing" or anything of the sort. It just bores me. I'm not putting it down or anything. I'm just saying that some people prefer solitude over the company of strangers. Others prefer the fun of interacting with a lot of different personalities to just hanging around alone. It's not a BAD thing to want solitude, or "sad" or "pathetic" or anything of the sort, nor is it a bad thing to want to socialize. It's just that there are some pretty different people in the world, and I'm of the sort that prefers a small circle of friends whom I don't really find it needed to constantly be around and I prefer my solitude a lot of the time.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
