Saturday Night Check-In

[StellaBlue]

Why are you, a beautiful, intellectual, attractive, witty DUer here in the Lounge on Saturday night?

[ghostsofgiants]

1. I was out briefly...

But my date wasn't feeling well so she went home, as did I.

So now I'm trying to pick out a movie to watch.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Well........I never go out on a Saturday night!

My husband and I rarely go out anytime at night........

And Saturday is crazy.......

Everything is crowded, and we hate crowds!

I prefer to go out when there aren't too many people around....

That's why I'm here tonight!

:hi:

[StellaBlue]

4. I know that one

I got into that rut when I was trapped in a loveless relationship for four years.

Not to say that you are!!! hahahaha. Only, I was only 23 when it all started going horribly wrong - I should've realized that there was something horribly wrong if my 24-year old partner never wanted to do ANYTHING. Now, at 27, I am a real partier! Just not tonight. I'm "working on other projects" - namely a short paper for my class, then I'm watching Donnie Darko, finally!! FINALLY!

:hi:

[blonndee]

3. I'm usually here on Saturdays. Thursdays

are my party night with my grad school friends and Friday nights are poker nights with same friends. Actually, those are my only friends. But I'm getting to old to handle more than two late nights a week! :)

[wildhorses]

5. this is kinda embarrassing...I turned down 3 different dates

:blush:


one of them called and left a message on my cell but, it is a private number...I would have gone out with him


the other 2...NO,,,,just NO

[LeftyMom]

6. I'm waiting for my sweetie to call me.

Until then I'll just bother you people. :)

[dubeskin]

7. I am actually working on a web site right now, and looking @ the lounge

[u4ic]

8. I don't fit any of your criteria

:P

but I'm pooped from today and have another long day ahead of apartment hunting tomorrow. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

9. I was out most of the day.

Plus, I don't really have many single friends to hang out with. :shrug:

[StellaBlue]

11. that always sucks

nt

[GOPisEvil]

Yeah, damn my friends for getting married and having kids!

They forgot it's all about ME, dammit! :mad:

[StellaBlue]

13. If you don't mind my asking

how old are you?

I am 27 and most of my friends are SINGLE!!! :bounce: I think getting married before this age at least is :crazy:

[GOPisEvil]

14. I just turned...

...38 somehow. I don't FEEL 38, and I don't think I look 38, but 38 I am.

Edit - why does 38 sound so much older than 37? :shrug:

[StellaBlue]

17. haha

Indeed.

I don't look 27, either. I get carded every. fucking. time. :eyes:

At least as an unmarried man you get to be a "bachelor". I am wearing my "spinster" badge proudly, but no one else is. :looking around:

My aunt says you're an old maid at 27. :woohoo:

[GOPisEvil]

18. Aren't double standards fun?

:woohoo:

My mom asked me if I was going to be married by the time I was 40. :eyes:

[StellaBlue]

20. "You're not... gay... are you?"

That one's my favorite, along with "but... but... don't you WANT children?"

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

22. I'm sure they've wondered!

"Aren't most of your friends married by now?"

"Well mom, if most of my friends jumped off a bridge, should I jump too?"

Damn, that was nice to spring that back on her. Even she had to laugh.

I'm an only child; no grandchild pressure or anything. :rofl:

[StellaBlue]

26. I'm an only child, too

But my parents don't care about grandchildren. Well, they'd like them if they had them, but they also think I am too young to get married, but less have kids. My dad would be PISSED if I announced I was getting married. It's refreshing. My mom couldn't care less, so long as I am happy.

[GOPisEvil]

52. My parents actually really don't ask very often.

I guess they care, but it's not like the hound me about it.

Sometimes I think I'm too selfish for marriage right now. I did like being in a relationship though.

[u4ic]

43. I'm glad no one's asked me that

Though I'd have only a month and a half to do it...:o

[RevCheesehead]

10. I have no life.

And nobody around who appreciates me. :(

[StellaBlue]

12. That's not true!

We all appreciate you!!!

:hi:

Even if you are a cheesehead.

[smokey nj]

15. I prefer to drink at home...........

I always know where the bathroom is and if I pass out, the likelihood of being mugged is very slim.

[Cannikin]

16. I'm on too much Clonopin to go anywhere

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Just got back from a picnic

with a bunch of other Duers! But most Saturdays I'm home alone because I don't have much of a social life.

[leeroysphitz]

21. My wife is currently HOGGING the Super Magic DVD Player

with something boring that doesn't involve naked robots from the future, Chow Yun Fat, George Clooney or people in shiny black latex suits jumping motorcycles off of speeding 18 wheelers.

So here I am and here I'll stay...


edited to mention that I am also slightly drunk on skunky Canadian beer and am, therefore, currently unable to drive myself to anyplace more interesting.

[Whoa_Nelly]

23. Hanging out at home, doing laundry, waiting for my lottery #s to come in

And I brought Fred and Ginger along with me!

Ginger hopes you really like her dress!

[StellaBlue]

27. I do like Ginger's dress

What a gorgeous vision.

[Whoa_Nelly]

44. I love Rogers and Astaire!

And I love architecture! Including this Frank Gehry design of Rogers and Astaire dancing!

[NJ Democrats]

24. I just back (minutes ago)

From seeing Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

[StellaBlue]

28. Seeing it tomorrow afternoon!

Ssssshhhhh!

:D

[Jewels]

25. Unwinding from a project

I just completed edit and design for an 8-page newsletter. Phewww! I've been procrastinating this project for quite a while (beginning of June).

I have been busy though, vacationing and trying to get Clint Curtis elected as my congressman in Sept and Nov.

I don't see well to drive at night any more and I avoid going out. Single lady, 40, and too busy to be lonely. :hide:

[StellaBlue]

30. I admire you.

[gkdmaths]

35. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[Nicole]

37. Welcome to DU Jewels

:hi:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

29. Morning person here.

I get up early and go go go all day. We have a family business running a resort in a very popular tourist area so I have things to do, places to go and people to see 24/7, all year round. I go out to lunch every day so I'm not the least bit thrilled to go out to dinner, especially with crowds of people. I love movies, so I sneak away from work once or twice a week to catch a matinee, also something I don't care to do at night. I used to love to read books, but since my Lasik surgery, I don't read so well in artificial light, so I have joined a books on tape club and I do my "reading" in the car while driving to work and back every day. So by the time I finally get home to my boat in the evening, all I want to do is look at the ocean and tinker on the computer.

Thanks for asking. :)

[StellaBlue]

31. Sounds like a lovely life.

:hi:

[fortyfeetunder]

32. watching dinner cook

BBQ'd sockeye salmon and clams in marinara over fettucini.
Costco Normandy veggies
Glass of Semillon.

Want some?

[gkdmaths]

33. I'd like to complain about

the fact you lumped trekies and D&Ders with religious fundamentalists.

whats up with that, yo?

;)

[Aristus]

34. My wife is taking a cool bath to escape the heat. I'm just waiting

for her to finish so we can watch a movie or something.

[AzDar]

36. 2 children....no sitter. n/t

[Nicole]

38. I just got home from a

dinner date. He was going to a club for a few drinks but I chose not to join him on that trip. Karaoke night doesn't amuse me. :P

[Strawman]

39. Scraping wallpaper

Woo hoo.

Turned down going to see Electric Six to work on a paper for class and scrape wallpaper off the kitchen walls. Man I'm getting old.

[Jara sang]

40. Automaton: (((beatie, beatie, beatie)))

[texanwitch]

41. I worked three 12 hour days this week, and today I

cleaned the house, washed clothes, and cut the very tall grass.

I am to tired to go anywhere.

[Deja Q]

42. I have no friends outside the internets.

I was out earlier (MN gathering :woohoo: ) and then a bookstore to buy some materials I will probably return and drooling over that one person who works there but I know he's not interested so what else is new?

Meh.

It's saturday.
