Going out

Bar/club/concert venue
The beach
Gym
Friends' houses

 

-AA meetings
-Psychiatrist's office
-Walk around my yard arguing with the trees

 

I never argue with trees... They know where you live and can fall on you.

 

They usually just ignore me.

 

Give them time... They have a very long memory.

 

What do you argue about?

 

Politics mostly. I'll never look at oak trees the same way I tell ya.

 

Republicans? Doesnt surprise me

 

Pure MAGA, baby.

 

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
And they're quite convinced they're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade?
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream 'oppression!'
And the oaks, just shake their heads

 

I have a hard time with balancing the need to be alone with the need to be out. A good compromise is a place where I can see people, but not have to be "on." For me this can mean long, meandering walks through the city, neighborhoods, the countryside (anywhere really), the gym, various stores, nature trails, the beach, etc. If I am with friends--a coffee shop, the occasional bar, festivals, or other events.

Rush...

 

Rush
Oh i wish the answer was Treebeard

 

No lie, Rush was the loudest noise of any kind I'd ever heard...and I was in artillery.

 

Head to the river, or head out on a new adventure.

 

same things everyone else said. beach, bar, friends' houses. anything else is uncommon enough not to make the list, unless i'm forgetting something.

same. which is one of the reasons i dislike living here; if i go to any of those places there's a pretty damn good chance i'll run into someone i know and suddenly have to be all professional.

well that's a strange place to go out to.

 

The Basketball Court at Cold Spring Park for a pickup game

 

I forgot about the psychiatrist's office. Also restaurants. And sometimes some excursion just takes me far away from home.

 

Luckily i don't have a hard time with that balance.

My answer would be similar to everyone. I'm outdoors a lot. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the cemetery. I find that to be a nice place to walk through that has a very peaceful vibe.
