Maximum comfort

[Ozymandias]

It's friday, I've been working outside in the cold the whole day and my body is aching all over. I've been pretty sociable the past few weeks so I know I can take a weekend off without anyone raising any eyebrows.

After work, I go to the store and buy Urge and blue cheese. I get home, throw my filthy workclothes in the closet and take a 30 minute long hot shower. When I'm done I put on clean boxer-shorts and my favorite sweatpants and start preparing for my superrelaxingcomfortableawesomealonetime.

I light a couple of candles, start burning the lavender incense I got in the mail today, set the electrical heater to max, make myself a cup of tea, pour myself a glass of port wine, pour myself a glass of Urge, collapse into my computer chair, eat my blue cheese with some old crackers I found lying around, set My Dying Bride's version of Scarborough Fair on repeat and start mucking around on the web. I will do this until I become a bit drowsy which is my que to start masturbating to some nice porn and then go to sleep.

So, this is what I do when I really want to relax. I've asked my friends what they like to do when they want to chill by themselves, but the answers were mostly in the vein of '' Why would I want to be by myself?''.
So I figured I would ask here. What do you do when you decide to treat yourself to some quality alone time?

Just got home from work too. Immediately put my sweats and undershirt on then get into comfort mode with tv and computer. I work inside and it's seventy degrees where I live so don't have to turn on the heat or take a shower. 30 minutes sounds way too long to be in the shower by the way.

When I do treat myself to some alone time, I turn off my phone to cut off all ties with the outside world. I love port wine too and might treat myself to some. Instead of the blue cheese, I settle myself to some brie and triscuits. If I'm still hungry I'll order some chinese food. Perhaps I might put on some music. Possibly some grateful dead, bob dylan, or jazz. When I'm ready to go to bed I will read until I fall asleep. If I can't fall asleep I'll take an ambien. All in all I have a pretty similar routine.

Need cigarette. Nothing else seems to matter too much.

Obviously I always have my parliament lights on hand.

My version is something similer except I replace the tea and wine with a Monster, I replace porn with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (remove masturbation entirely actually), and give me a few books to pick back up learning where I left off. Chips and salsa is my programming food. Perfect night.

30 minutes sounds way too long to be in the shower by the way.

In my case, it's a bit short. Especially now that it's getting a little chilly.

Really though, I may choose to do any number of things to relax. The only common denominator is that they are things freely chosen by me. I don't even have to be alone, necessarily, so long as the crowd's not too big. For instance, a spontaneous night of Smash Bros. with friends would be perfectly acceptable.

Caffeinated drink and gaming

Caffeinated drink and book

Caffeinated drink and pc

Caffeinated drink and jig saw puzzle + star trek

30 minutes sounds way too long to be in the shower by the way.

Depends on what he's doing there..

Same here but I only smoke at work, at home I use snus.

For instance, a spontaneous night of Smash Bros. with friends would be perfectly acceptable.

Also a nice way to relax. Once BF3 releases I suspect evenings like these won't happen for a while.

Depends on what he's doing there..

Daydreaming mostly. And singing within my own head.

I love alone time to treat myself(in fact, I like to live alone). I like to read or spend time on the computer. I too, might treat myself to a glass of wine from time to time and eat cheese. I like brie and gouda.

I usually don't watch TV, however. If a TV is available, I might watch a movie.

Generally I would eat something, drink something. Shoot some pool on my snooker table, listen to loud music, climb on my dirt bike and rip around my property, walk the dog. If its the weekend ill smoke some dope and get creative, or think about life.

Making really good food is usually the most rewarding thing I would do.
30 minute shower.. ohhh baby the best, a shave after can be alright but I dislike shaving so I just trim up before showering. Then you have that sweet sand paper face feeling

Cheese is great, i just had some provolone, bbq'd bacon and some honey dijon on baguette.

Just to leave me alone,that's the major step.To me the maximum comfort could never be enjoyed with others aside.
And then usually music,movie,game,etc and get myself some snacks.
And lost in some fragmentary daydreaming.

I have a couple of pants that are like super comfortable, I wear one of em and put on my sweatshirt. Lights are off and I usually listen to some music. Two things I require to have any ounce of comfort is prolonged quiet and solitude. I can't relax completely around others, and unwanted noise/mindless chatter just renders me unable to function properly(that is, let go and sink into my mind).

 

[pjoa09]

I have whiskey.

Super comfortable after two smooth ones.

Crawl into bed, don't come out for at least 12 hours.

 

[Tyr]

Darkness, solitude, E.S. Posthumus. Coffee...if it happens to be thunderstorming, I'm in heaven. A really good book is also excellent, but then I have to forfeit the darkness aspect.

After a long day of dealing with people and forcing myself to be polite, nothing beats going home, changing into my old jeans and flannel shirt, and taking my horse out for a long solitary ride. And if I cant do that, I like to still change into my riding clothes, but then I just sit in my favorite chair with some cheese and crackers (I like Havarti and saltines), some good tea and read
