I sure don’t.
Although at rare times I sometimes wish I did, I’m actually content overall with not having one.

Sometimes.
Sometimes I hide from it.
Sometimes I wish I had more.
Sometimes I tweak my nipples til I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl.
Any of those ways, I’m pretty content. Just ask Maureen.
Unless you count moderating battles between one’s parents as a life, no.
(Let’s see how many plane ticket sites I can browse at once with this thing.)
Pretty much none. I’m a year and a quarter out of being a shut-in though (only difference is now I work) and I think I’m about ready to start trying. I’ve mostly been putting it off for years as being too expensive. I’m still mostly content but I’m getting bored more often. Plus I found my first grey hair so that a bit of impetus as well.
I’m looking forward to buying a cheap car. Maybe take some Japanese evening courses at the adult school at my old High School. Might even try out some of those internet dating sites. I wish I could date some dopers but you all live so far away and the board doesn’t want us to do that.
I probably should make a resolution but I’m 0 for everything on those so far. Although if I can complete the two I made last year this year I’ll count them done. They’re not “life” related though.
What kind of “life” are you talking about? Love life? Sex life? Career life? Family life? Social life? Sane life?
Too many variables here. You need to narrow this one down.
I spend a lot of time lurking in here. That’s a sure sign I don’t have a life.
No life here. I’m a full-time carer and, apart from a couple of hours per week to pay bills an buy groceries, I’m housebound. I’d go completely insane if not for the internet.
Not since August, 2001.
Crappy contract work, arsing around here, watching movies. That’s pretty much it.
I’ve been contemplating getting back out there, though.
Maybe in the spring. Apparently, my friends miss me. Huh.
Nope, no life…but if you could buy them online I might be interested! My daily interaction with the outside world (except at work, that doesn’t count) is confined to walking to the shop to buy the paper.
Having a life seems like so much effort - you have to go out, meet people, do stuff etc. Why do that when you could just lie around and watch TV?
I see that all the ads are for dating sites. What is Google trying to tell us? We’re going to die alone and unloved? OH GOD NO!!
Your real name isn’t Joan is it?
To the OP: Right now I have a work life and a feeble personal life. My family is on the edge of moving to another country and we’re not sure of the exact move date (we’ve got approval, we’re just waiting on visa paperwork to go through). Because of this my recording studio is in boxes and I’m not playing or writing. I’m hesident to pick up new friends in town because of the move. I’ve got my wife, my daughter and the few people I mingle with at work.
Not to say my family is boring, but a man needs more than a couple girls in the house and no artistic escape.
Top that off with a acute case of insomnia and you’ve got a guy sitting around alone most the time. It’s pretty bleak at the moment.
After the move there will be that weird social lag time. Moving to a new city is always like that. But I’ll have my studio set up so at least I can write again. With that, I can do without friends for a bit.
I chose to use Kitchen Wench’s qualifier in answering this:
** Love life?** Hmmm, not much. Currently in the earliest stages of seeing someone but way too early to tell. He’s very nice though, so here’s hoping.
** sex life? ** Not if you don’t count masturbation and a respectably sized porn collection. Having made the realisation last year that I was bordering on being a sexual compulsive I’ve been celibate for over six months, and I intend to stay that way until I’ve actually have the opportunity to have sex with someone that I actually feel something for.
** Career life? ** Very good. I got promoted last year and have been doing extremely well in my new job, one that I absolutely love with an amazing group of people (quite a few of which have become friends). It’s not impossible that I could get promoted again this year, but as I love my current job so much I’m happy to just stay here for now. I’m also thinking about studying to be a counsellor this year so a stable job that I can do quite easily might be the best thing whilst studying part time.
** Family life? ** Pretty good, live with my mother (by choice, we bought a place together) who I get on with very well. Last year I started the process of repairing my relationship with my father which has been practically non-existant since I was a child and now can actually say with honesty that I love him and want to have him in my life. This has made my relationship with my step mother and two younger brothers even better than it was, and trips to see them much nicer for everyone involved.
** Social life? ** Great! Between going to my dance classs, work and just being a naturally outgoing person who finds it easy to talk to people, I have no shortage of great people to hook up with and have fun with, and am fortunate to have three very close friends who I care about a great deal.
** Sane life? ** I’m in my second year of therapy and am probably better adjusted now than I have ever been in my entire life. I don’t know many people who can say that.
So all in all I’d say I’ve got a “life”, and one that I’m extremely happy with.
Yeah, actually I do, somewhat to my surprise. There are areas of it that could stand improvement, but overall I’m in a good place.
Yes I do have a life. It consists of mainly living with in my parents basement, browsing internet porn, collecting bellybutton lint and just wishing I could meet somone who would, understand me.
Seriously,
I have a wife and 4 kids that are at the center of my life, but I am still able to get out once in awhile as well, and so is Mrs. D. Plus I also have some hobbies that I keep up on (Karate and magic). So, yes, I do have a life that I’m quite happy with.
I’m so happy for you! That sounds great, esp. the part about you and your mom. I would love to room with my mom (she could cook, for one thing), but since and pop still live together that’s a daydream.
For me, work 9-5 M-F, quilt with the TV at night, weekends sleep and go to church. Not a bad gig!
