Enjoy the Silence

Hanging out with people is good times indeed, and many times, it can be some of the best memories you have. But are you fond of memories where you spend time alone and enjoy the subtle things in peace? While the sun rays shimmer through a window on a cool fall day while doing some solitary activity, maybe working on a project or just enjoying some fine jazz.

Let us talk about these fine times that no one else will get to share in the same way as you have, I will use tonight as a fine example. Maybe a Saturday better spent than some, maybe worse, but I know I enjoyed it so much.

Grilling some steaks on my porch, a little porch, but I did stain it a fine color and my grill, a simple grill filled with fantastic charcoal briquettes. I light it and watch the fire roar for a few minutes and settle into a glowing shimmer of orange coals. Placing my delicious steaks upon them, I listen to some jazz and later some acoustic guitar as they cook to a delightful medium rare. Some insects chirping I enjoy the steaks with some hot tea and steamed broccoli. I finish the meal with some low priced brandy, my first time trying it, and enjoying it. I listen to the theme from Tristam from Diablo on the porch as the cool breeze flows around me and I am so happy fall is here, a respite from the months of heat that so oppressively beared down upon me prior.

So good to post doggies, so good.

    I love being alone.

    I almost always prefer it to being around others.

    I spent most of last weekend in naught but socks, sometimes with boxers and slightly drunk the whole time. It was good.

    The best kind of jazz is the kind pounding through your neighbor's wall in a $15-a-night motel room.

    When everything is quiet, is the time I'm able to use best for creative thought.

    I enjoy it thoroughly when alone though, as then I needn't worry about other folk overhearing the vocalization of my thoughts (I talk to myself, as a creative vehicle). These times are rare, and thus quite fruitful.

    what i really want to do sometime is pack up some camping gear and go camping by myself for a weekend, and just sit there and make s'mores and listen to the forest. but i'd get too scared of getting killed by a lunatic or getting lost and dying of stupidity

    I love being alone but I can't ever be mean to people who approach me and want to be sociable since I know they only mean well

    like I'll be hanging out by myself and my brothers girlfriend will just wander in and strike up conversation and I don't want to hurt her feelings so I'll humor her but really I just want her to GO AWAY AND LET ME REVEL IN THE SILENCE

    I like to watch movies by myself. Granted, action and comedy is best watched with an audience but I've found that solitude and cinema can mesh nicely as well. I love foreign films and classics, but it is hard to get anyone else interested in them, so I watch them alone and I can't imagine otherwise.

    "Can we use the English dub?"

    Ick.

    I should note, however, that the thought vocalization is something I've done since a child, and only recently converted it creative measures. So if talking to myself is truly a sign of being mentally unhinged, I've been such for nearly my entire life.

    Hell more than one relationship of mine has ended in turmoil because there were occasions where I just did not want to be close to them (not them personally but people) and it eventually got to the point where that just would not do.

    I can't be alone for too long but I do enjoy having time for me, myself and I. It might just be because I'm used to it now, but even at parties some times I just want to chill out for like an hour by myself.

    The best time of the day is when I first wake up in the morning
    Mom's already at work
    School buses already came
    Garbage men and everything won't come for another couple hours
    It's so peaceful and quiet, and I sit on my porch and drink a soda and play some tunes and think "this is a good moment right here"
