I have been spending a lot of time alone at home lately and although the WoW players might not agree, it is extremely annoying and I get quite a bit lonely. I do play Everquest 2 but on a heavy week I might play an hour a night.
So I guess I am looking for suggestions on what people do here to get them out of the house (or just in-house hobbies). I am moving into a new house next week so money is tight meaning no pricey hobbies.
I've thought of something like taking some martial art classes but there are few good schools around here the majority just being 'You give money, you get belt' but I might look in deeper to find a respectable 2-3 nights a week class. Besides this though, I really have to say I've no idea, I could probably convince my buddy to join a gym with with me but our schedules vary so it might not work very well. I usually jog 3-5 times a week but that takes maybe all of 30 minutes unless I do the trail multiple times and I am not in good enough shape to run it twice.
So basically, I am here asking for advice, what do you folks do for a hobby or to pass your evenings that does not involve the computer or the TV? Ideally, I would like to have a schedule setup where I know in advance what I will be doing with my time so I can actually look forward to leaving work instead of dreading what risks being another evening alone at home.
Oh, and before someone jumps in and says 'get a woman', I am taking a bit of a break from dating and am not ready emotionally to jump in another relationship. That is why I'm posting this actually, I went from spending 5-6 days a week with a woman to being alone and it is extremely hard on me.
So, anyone want to share what they do with their time?
