I often go outside and biked 19 miles this morning with a pair of friends.
I've made two phone calls today and make at least 250 a year
I had three close friends in addition to my girl friend.

I go outside often, but not constantly.
I don't spend much time on the phone.
I have two fairly small circles of friends: old friends from HS and those at college. No GF right now, but working on that part.

I'm rarely home except for weekends.
I make three calls a day.
My circle of friends includes those at work and those from university. I'm happy that I'm still close with my university friends and there are 3 people from high school that I keep in touch with on a weekly basis.
Quite possibly, there could be a gf on the horizon....

I make about 1 or 2 phone calls every other day.

I have at least 6 or 7 close/good friends.

I am easy going and friendly. I make friends easily.

I like to go out, but not for partying/clubbing. Mainly to run errands or to go to work.

I also have other interests outside of SW and message forums.

I have a girlfriend and we live together. I love her dearly. :mrgreen:


I guess I'm not socially repressed.

Oh. Other than living at the comp lab, I club (almost) every Thursday (provided I have sufficient funds), go to the Coffehouse afterwards (repeat last paranthetical phrase), and make at least one phone call every other day. Sometimes I am the one receiving the phone calls. I watch a movie at the dollar theatre once every other week. I know people. Sometimes I hang out with them. I have people obsess over me on the Net (*coughkojikuneinhandercough*). I go to my classes. I eat. I sleep every now and then, whenever it happens to suit me. I see my shrink every week, now. I think that about sums it up.

I have some friends, but I never go out with them, I don't call often (I only have on phone line, and the rate things are going, we won't get the other fixed until 2005). Of course, they rarely call me.

I go outside to mow the lawn.

I go outside when required or when there is some cool activity going on. I prefer to stay either indoors or in the cockpit.

I make an average of 3 phone calls a day. A majority of them are to the Flight Service Station to check weather forcast and current observations.

I have three close friends in real life. Only one of them lives in the same city as I.

Bwahahahaha fools!

I practically live at my computer. During fall break, I went outside to get to the car. That was Saturday the 26th of October. The next time I set foot outside was Monday morning to go to school. That was the 4th of November :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I do often call my friend though, to coordinate our actions in Day of Defeat :mrgreen:

I have 2 good friends.

I think I'm pretty well adjusted. I get outside enough, I'm involved in weekly bike rides with people in the GTA area, and I also go on rides with my GF and a couple other friends. I quit going to clubs when I came back to Toronto after a year of univeristy in Ottawa, it's just to fuckin' expensive here and there's too many assholes for it to be fun, hearing damage isn't worth it either. I get out with my close friends on a weekly or so basis to chill at a bar or restaurant and catch up on things, help each other out, but mainly just to kick back and unwind and have a good time. I don't have many friends, but the ones Ido are really good close ones.

Phone calls, I only make a couple calls a week, and not counting work related ones get about the same number. Half of them are long distance calls to friends I get to see about once a year if I'm lucky. So how do I have time to post as much here as I do? I spend my days and some nights working in the computer lab doing freakin' retarded assignments, and I need the distraction. SD is usually open in the background.

I dont make many calls cause I just dont like talking on the phone.

I spend most of my time with 2-3 friends.

I have another group of 4-6 friends who used to be close but are not now, and then there is a group of 5-6 workmates which I hang out with.

I go outside to get things done like errands or play volleyball at lunch.

I rarely date, which is probably my most repressed social characteristic.

Hmm, for starters, I was outside for 9 hours straight today (in near freezing temperatures with a steady wind and I am chilled to the bone still!!)....
I have 2 best friends in the entire world, one of whom lives in Utah and the other who lives in Tasmania (and is dating Ando!! mwahaha! :P ).
I have probably about 20 other friends I would classify as being very close to, from high school, college, work, Australia. Some I see on a regular basis (weekly-ish)--others I haven't seen since June, 2000. :cry:
I make an average of 30 phone calls per month (including ghastly international calls--meep! $$$).
I spend my weekends either hanging out with my crew, going out for 'girlie night,' teaching music, partying with the people I work with, going to coffeehouses for one-on-ones, or spending time with my blissfully dysfunctional family and my cats.

I go to school six to seven days a week.
During the summers, I walked three miles a night.

All calls I make are purely for business.

Let me try to count my friends IRL: Five people I call my friends, and I have a bunch of acquaintances. I wouldn't call any of my friends particularly close.

Hmmm.

I have about 3 close friends that I hang out with occasionally.

I don't go out much unless its for work or something I that is important.

2 years ago I was in GREAT shape with good muscles. last two years I have been really lax though and havent worked out or really exorcized that much. However, my sister just got one of those huge trampolines for her Birthday and im looking forward to building my stamina back up on that when spring comes around. :)

I absolutely LOATH the telephone and get annoyed everytime I have to hear the damn thing ring because of my sisters friends that call nonstop. However I do still use it sometimes when its necessary.

Don't have a girl friend anymore and don't plan on getting one again soon since they arent really anything but a nuisance for me (constantly have to think and worry about them over top of the all other crap that already goes on in life.) And no, at least in my case, sex doesn't make up for it because you usually have to work to much just to get it and im to lasy to put the effort to bother right now.

I never have been a social go getter and actually enjoy being alone with my own thoughts alot of the time, but I do understand that it is necessary to go out and socialize with people occasionally which is why I stay in contact with the 3 close friends that I have.
