Do you enjoy time inside or outside more? I like being outside personally. Last night was perfect weather and I just sat outside and thought for an hour or two, good stuff really. So where do you like being?

outside

depends what i'm after but usually i enjoy myself more outdoors. i think every activity can be improved by being conducted in the fresh air. but if i'm after comfort indoors tends to deliver more and until someone invents some truly comfortable weatherproof furniture i think that's the way it's going to stay.

I prefer indoors. Unless someone can find me a totally stocked, and up to date outdoor kitchen that doesn't attract bugs.

Indoors. It just seems to me like there aren't many fun things to do outdoors.

I must say, i think the complete opposite, outdoors you can do so many things, play hockey, go cycling, go somewhere scenic, walk up a hill, go shopping, take in an open air concert, go to a festival, drive a car, have sex behind some bushes, take a midnight stroll, look at the stars, build sandcastles, swim in a loch/sea/river. Have a picnic, the one thing you cannot do, is use a PC or go online. I guess that is a big drawback to some people.

In addition to sex behind bushes, you can have sex on top of a mountain, in a cave, in front of the bushes, in a park..haha

You can go camping, go hunting, garden, play childhood games like hide and seek, cops and robbers, play sports. So many possibilities!

None of those things appeal to me, except maybe taking a brief walk around the lake and observing random animals like rabbits, which I'd like to do every night. I don't like sports, and driving is just a way to get from place to place for me. There aren't really any hills around here, and I don't think we're allowed to swim in the lakes around here, as there are often alligators in them. Any one who knows me would know that sex doesn't appeal to me, I don't think I'd be allowed out at midnight, stars are pretty but I wouldn't want to stare at them for a long time, and I'd have to get to a beach to build sandcastles, which would be at least a half hour drive, and I don't even like going to the beach. And there would be bugs if I had a picnic.

It just seems like there are lots more things for me to do inside. Anything on a computer, reading, doing my homework, playing games with family, watching tv with family, playing with my cats, etc.

Most of those require other people though... that's no fun for me. And I wouldn't want to hunt anything, that's too violent. I don't think gardening really appeals to me either.

Thats some WAN if you can get it in the Cairngorms!

The not wanting to involve other people in a 3D capacity seems to be a running theme through this thread. I wonder why? *looks puzzled*

I'm an introvert. :)

Thats some WAN if you can get it in the Cairngorms!Well, okay, maybe WAN wouldn't cut it then, but you could hook it up to a satellite modem or something. Where there's a will, there's a way.

This is a serious question and no offence I hope will be taken, but do you never go out with friends? Or do you interact mainly with friends over electronic media such as Internet/Phone?

The only time I ever hang out with friends in real life is when we go over to each other's house or something and use the computer together or play video games together, or watch a movie. But there's really only one friend I do even that with. Mostly I interact with friends at school or online.

outside. inside gets too stuffy... but then i open windows. plus outside is pretty and has trees and sunsets and things, and smells nice :)

but then inside has TV and stuff. its too hard to choose!

I prefer outdoors though its getting to indoors as it gets cold :p

though to be honest I don't know what I really "do" outside mostly I just either go for some exercise alone (with headphones to block out crappy nature) or be a lazy hippie with some mates at a park

do pub gardens count as indoors or out:confused:

pub gardens..? you mean areas outside of a bar where you can get wasted and smoke? I'd say outside!

Also things you can do outside: go camping and drink! You can watch animals, you can look for bigfoot, you can go horseback riding, you can ride elephants (yes I have ridden an elephant and is was cool), have snowball fights- the classic winter activity, go sledding, build snow forts, treehouses, swim, and all kinds of other things...

I've never seen snow. :(

What?!!??! Where do you live?! Snow is like...the greatest thing ever...
What is the winter like where you live?
Winter is my favorite season, the snow and the cold, it makes you feel alive!

I've lived in Florida for my whole life...
It's usually around maybe 50 degrees or so in the winter.

Outside. Beer + sun and heat + friends + football/cricket=:cool:

It's ok. I don't think I could survive in such cold anyway. I'm too used to it being in like the 90's this time in September...

I am an outdoor person who married an indoor person, the longer we are married the more we seem to mesh....I can get him outside in the fall and he can sometimes keep me in during the summer/winter, if he has more appealing things for me to do.

We are looking into a sun porch for our new house, that way we are kinda inside/outside, meaning I will get my sunshine that I need, and he will be protected from the bugs and pollen that he hates.

Yuck! I can't stand 90 degree weather, though I grin and bear it all through summer, that most evil of seasons!

Give me 50-60 degree weather anyday! Jean and t-shirt weather! (a light jacket is also acceptable)

@Smunkee: Sun-porches are great. Especially watch storms in!

I wear pants and t-shirts for most of the year with a jacket during what passes for winter here. I can tolerate 90 degree weather, but that's too hot for me to enjoy being outside for any stretch of time.
Sometimes I need a sweater around this time of the year because the air conditioner at school is set at like 60 something, and after stepping out of 90 degree weather that feels really cold.

I dont play MMO's

Oh man, that's nothin'! At my dorm last year they had the heater set to 70 or 80, and damn, it was hot! After coming in from 30 degree weather, much less with windchill, its horrible. My roommate and I kept the the windows open to keep the temperate tolerable.

:p

@Smunkee: Sun-porches are great. Especially watch storms in!

yeah, my only issue is it's a lot of glass to replace if/when another tornado comes through......maybe I will just screen it in....screens are cheap.

The weather here is extreme (for my tastes) it gets over 100F in the summer and below 0F in the winter.....with only a month of what I like which is 60-70F during the day and 50F at night.

I prefer indoors.

Most people (myself included) prefer being outside, weather permitting. In a way it's reverse psychology though. If we had to spend most of our time outside we'd probably want to be inside more. It's easy to want to be outside when you can pick and choose when and where to do so.

I start getting cold at like 75...my body temperature is usually closer to 95 or 96 than to 98.6.

Indoors has sex too. You can have sex on the bed, on the couch, against a wall, in the shower, on the toilet, on the kitchen table, on the floor, on the clothes drying machine...

But generally you don't get the risk of being arrested in doing so. I guess that is a big drawback to some people. :p

I prefer NSG.

How crazy! My temp is closer to 97.8 ish than the 98.6, and I love, and thrive in cold weather!

It's probably just that I'm used to being in Florida.

I posted other places for fun earlier in the thread! Wouldn't have fun on top of a mountain just make it that much better? :p

I like the outdoors when there isn't an influx of mosquitoes and other annoying biting insects.

Inside.
Outside usually is either too hot or too cold, paired with either being too sunny and giving me sunburn or raining and drenching me. Inside looking outside, maybe with a window open on the rare occasion the temperature is agreeable is best.

Outside. Except for what I bring in with me, all the mud is out there. :)

totally depends on the type of surrounding environment.

cities are crap and cities with cars doubly so. i'd rather be creating inside then wondering arround paved streets.

on the other hand, when i live out in the boonies, as i previously have for much of my life. i do spend considerably more time exploring nature's convoluted and intreguiging spaces.

also if there is public trasnportation, expecially people sized, park train sized, public transportation and it is very affordable or free, then yes i love to spand a lot of time riding arround on that.

but i tend to get 'antsie' if i'm away from being creative for very long, and for that, mostly takes being inside with the means of doing so.

you know, unless i'm crating shelter or other assemblages from found natural and unnatural, but at any rate objects. rocks, and fallen limbs and so one.

along with orphaned bits of industrial flotsam, again when and if i can get my hands on these things, get them to where i want to do what i want to do with them, and generally be out there in the boonies to be doing so.

this is why i see the aplication of building codes to rural owner builders as nothing short of tyrannical

Outside if the weather is good, inside if it's not. So I'm mostly inside. It also depends on what you mean with outside of course. I kind of like my garden of th e woods, or a nice city or village or in general places with a lot of friends of mine but there are places outside where I don't like being.

Erm... that depends entirely what I'm doing, really. Having sex in the middle of a public park might not be entirely appropriate, but then neither would paintballing in my living room. One should strike a balance, really. Staying indoors permanently isn't good for you, but then neither is staying outdoors in subzero temperatures...

...maybe with a window open on the rare occasion the temperature is agreeable is best.

i have my windows open pretty much all day, every day... admittedly its a loft and they're velux windows (so i can keep em open when i'm out) but still...


and come to think of it, i like being outside only when its in the country/natural environment. in the city it kinda sucks.

subzero temperatures are so invigorating though!

It depends.

In the winter, I like indoors much, much better. In the summer I like outside just fine.

I love being out on nice warm nights in cities. The atmosphere is always so good.

Indoors, with a beautiful view of the outdoors and a birdfeeder in the window etc.

Does it not make you want to step outside and get involved?
