Ah, see...in my mind, that's a plus. I hate having a ton of stuff I feel obligated to do.
If I'm only doing it out of obligation, I agree. But I get restless without *something* to do... in my ideal world, I'd go to at least one or two gatherings per holiday/weekend day.
time left open for me to either veg around the house or find something spontaneous to do
For me, a day at home with nothing planned is stressful, "empty" rather than relaxing. I don't watch TV or videos. I rarely read for pleasure anymore. Too much AIM and my eyes blur... The kids are good for a couple of games or park outings per day, but then they're off by themselves playing the rest of the time. My safety valve has been home-improvement or yardwork... but I miss being around other adults.

Re: "But you hate people." "Yes, but I love gatherings. Isn't it ironic?"
