What do you do for fun when alone?

My friends and I hung out yesterday and one of my friends asked us if we sing and dance at home when we are alone. Most of us said yes. I always thought about what people do when no one is around and they want to do something fun. What I do is to pretend I am a singer and sing along to my favorite songs with matching emotions. LOL I also dance when I feel like it. =D What do you do for fun when you are left alone in the house? Share your experiences, please.

I actually do the same thing. I would put my music on and start singing along no matter how bad my singing is, I will still sing like I'm so much better than the original singer. But at the same time, I would definitely be enjoying playing racing games at the same time like mario kart double dash. I can't spend my half day doing this thing all alone lol. Another thing that I always do is try to cook a new dishes for myself, but only for myself. Thing such as cleaning, reading, or watching TV are definitely not a thing I do to enjoy my time when I'm all alone

LOL thtas funny that you pretend your a singer and sing and dance to your favorite songs. I am sure plenty of people do that. I see it a lot on movies lol. I dont do that. The only time I listen to the radio is if I'm in the car and of course I sing but not pretend I'm a singer. I also listen to songs on youtube while I'm sitting at my computer bored.

On what console do you play Mario Kart? It's an awesome game. =D By the way, why don't you let people taste the new dishes you cook?

Something I do for myself...Well, when I'm driving and a song I love to sing to comes on, I also pretend I'm a singer! (Well, I just sing along lol). I like to shop, and that's the only thing I can think of that I really do for "myself" - shopping gives me a little "me" time, without the stress of work/finances/etc. (Although shopping LATER brings on more stress about finances. lol. But it works temporarily as a type of retail therapy!)

Shopping does relieve a woman from stress. lol But be careful because you just might shop more than you should leading to further stress and financial problems. =D

My favorite way to spend the time when alone is to listen to music. I like all kinds of music, jazz, rock and roll, blues, classical. I like listening to music of other cultures too, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Latin American, and more. I have a collection of CD's of different music. If I am to name my favorite, it is classical, Chopin, Mozart, Johan Strauss, Beethoven, Brahms. Tha's very relaxing and enjoyable.

Ah, music. It has always been with me. From what I heard, listening to classical music helps enhance your brain. You're probably an intelligent person, and getting wiser everyday. =D

It is fun to me everytime I finished a scrapbook. So whenever I find time I always stay in the room with my scraps and reusable pictures. If I could not think of a good design, I turned my attention in doing beaded accessories. It is of so much fun for me to have time for my hobbies like such.

I never really got the hang of making a scrapbook. I like the idea of putting pictures and decorative stuff together but it doesn't come out great. lol I guess it's not for everybody. =D

Me too. And Mylot of course! The computer is my friend when I am alone. It is a good time-passer tool and can be educational too. I really like watching videos online too. Youtube is great!

when I am alone in the house, there are times that I just sleep. And there are also times that I just open my laptop and play until I get bored. Another is I love to eat.I'll just baked anything that I could found in the fridge then I'll eat while watching TV. hehehehe

I really dont do much when I'm alone. I just sit on my computer most of the time and do things like mylot and facebook etc. I'm obsessed with the internet. Sometimes I read a book or take a nap. I dont have time to myself unless the kids are in bed though or my ex has them at his house which cant happen right now with him in rehab.

I am hardly left alone lately because I already have kids who would often tag along with me than go somewhere else.:) But years back, I had this favorite activity when I am left alone. Others might think it isn't fun but for me it is a lot of fun. I am talking about house decorating. I'd redecorate everything especially the living room. Rearranging the furniture and seeing new fixtures installed inside the living room gives me a different hype. And more often than not, when I am upset, I wish to be left alone so I can get my hands on decorating the house once more. :)

Congratulations on having two kids! Anyway, my mom does that too. My brothers and I moved out when we went to university so she was left alone in the house and she did a lot of redecorating. Every time we went home, there was almost always something new or something redone. =D

I try to relax the best way I can. Sometimes I twirl in the middle of the floor, watch TV, read, search the internet, etc. I try not to do things too crazy like walk around the house naked.

Twirling in the middle of the floor? Doesn't it make you dizzy? =D

Yah, it makes me a little dizzy, but it is liberating. I just do it to feel free...

as odd as it sounds i watch tv shows or movies that no one else is interested in. i watch war movies or stuff that i am interested in about history or decorating or crafts.
• Philippines

There are probably other people who are interested in war movies and history. If there weren't anyone interested in that, no one would go to lengths making one, right? Crafts is great! But I never really learned to do it. Good for you!

Since I am not really a people person, I spend most of my time alone. If there's Internet connection, I would either surf or watch movies online. I also visit my usual sites like MyLot, Twitter, Facebook, etc, etc, etc. If I am bored, I probably read books or watch TV. Or I would play pc games like Sims, Diablo or any games that I buy or download. There's a lot of thing that I could do.

When I'm alone at home I search for funny shows on YouTube. One kind of such shows is pre-selection shots for dance or music contests. I have one in my country that makes my laugh with tears. Such shows are very amusing. If I want to relax, I listen to real music. Another way to make fun is calling my friends and have some gossip. It is said this banishes depression!
