[QUOTE="johnsemlak, post: 1815207, member: 7233"] Of course, a perfect Saturday is gaming with the gaming group. But, it that can't happen? I've come to realize that at the end of the day, one of the most satisfying ways for me to spend free time is to buy a 2-liter bottle of diet pepsi + something unhealthy to eat, go home, and watch a marathon of something on TV. Perhaps sports, perhaps the Star Wars or LotR trilogy, perhaps Star Trek episodes, perhaps bad TV. Whatever. The point is to be alone (I generally do this when my wife as at the in-laws), relax, and enjoy some small comforts (the most essential of which are a comfy couch and a remote control). Now, a lot of people would probably think doing that would be borish, unintellectual, unhealthy, and/or unsociable. I like doing outdoor activites enough I suppose, and I get out on my bicycle when I can (Moscow isn't the best place for it). WHen I travel I love to walk in the mountains or explore exotic cities. I'm not much for water sports like boating or sailing and I don't live in a great place for it. It probably would be fair to characterize myself as an unsocial person. I don't like weddings, parties, dancing, etc. Besides gaming, about as social as I get is meeting a friend or two and going to a bar or something (or just sit home and chat), or going out with my wife. Is this typical gamer/uber-geek syndrome, or this normal (or both?) [/QUOTE]
