What's something you do only for yourself?

Asked by broncosgirl (712points) October 18th, 2009

What do you do to make yourself feel good or to unwind? Something no one else knows about, or that you do just for you?

Buy art (paintings, prints, and art books), purchase Butter Rum filled chocolate (the good stuff), get fresh flowers, and a long, hot, bubble bath.

Buy some good wine.

Fluther, hot baths, curl up with a good book, eat chocolate or Chinese food – usually not all at the same time unless it’s really been a bad day!

Kick some ass on computer games. Best way to make myself feel good is to make a bunch of 12-year-olds feel bad.

I make my own homemade red wine and I buy very good healthy groceries for myself. I love to buy fresh and go to the market 3–4 times a week. I do yoga 3 times a week and make sure I maintain my financial stability. Peace of mind, and a stable healthy life are the greatest things I can give myself ^_^ – LB

I commune with sock puppets. They understand me and my needs.

I love to go to the movies when I know there will likely be very few other people. I sit up front in the center, and if the other patrons are courteous, sometimes it’s possible to imagine it’s my own private screening room.

I especially like doing this at the end of the year, when all the Oscar contenders are showing.

janbb's avatar

@mcbealer Me too, except that I sit at the back. I consider it a real treat. Want to go to the movies together and pretend we’re the only ones there?

mcbealer's avatar

@janbb ~ totally!! right now I’m holding off seeing Where the Wild Things Are, because I would like to see it with minimal distractions. What’s your next film?

A long hot deep bubble bath with a glass of wine and a few candles mmm heaven in a bathroom! :)

I take hot baths. I don’t care if my dad is about to knock down the door.

I study maps, browse hiking books, wander Google Maps, read travel stories and daydream about my next adventure. This always takes me away from it all, when I cannot actually get away.

Hmm, all the wine, movies, hots baths and masturbation mentioned above sounds nice too, maybe I can combine this all together somehow…

How do you decide if it’s just for yourself, or if it’s also for someone else?

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

@daloon deciding the answer to mine seems pretty obvious

Not only for myself, but I draw.

Flowers. I love flowers. Store flowers, iloveyou flowers, wildflowers, flowers secretly snipped from campus lawns…. my roommate doesn’t get much enjoyment from the vase of sunflowers sitting on our dining table, but my heart dances a little every time I see them.

I get kinky on film. Shhhhh! nobody knows. HAHAHA

Dr_C's avatar

Masturbate, smoke a cigarette, drink a beer or a glass of wine.
not necessarily in that order
Also secretly hope for the Broncos (Known in some parts as the Denver Donkeys) to lose the rest of their games for this season.

doc you’re not some kind of chargers fan are you?

jonsblond's avatar

Enjoy my Broncos games. @Dr_C hmph! :P

Barbell squats?
I certainly don’t do it for anyone else, and although it’s better for waking up and getting my stuff together than for relaxing, it brings me into a state of mind that’s hard to attain otherwise. Others here would probably call it a spiritual experience.

But not me. It’s a release of adrenaline and other hormones, actually. A purely physical biochemical process.

And occasionally I go for a walk on an impulse, usually taking my homework reading material with me.
In the same vein, I’ve abused my student’s privilege of free public transport before to board a random bus and read my stuff in there, get off at a random stop, walk around a bit, and then take a bus back home again.

Furthermore I read books, watch films or series or comedians, and spend time on the internets in various ways (e.g. TV Tropes, creepypasta, Omegle or Fluther).

@ABoyNamedBoobs03 i am THE Charger’s fan

broncosgirl's avatar

@Dr_C you wish the Broncos would lose :) Have fun hoping for that!

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

@Dr_C and I thought we were friends…

Rivers is such a tool….

jonsblond's avatar

I just enjoyed the Broncos kicking the Chargers butt.

@Dr_C neener neener neener

shego's avatar

@Dr_C what do you think about the Broncos now?

jonsblond's avatar

I never knew Fluther was full of Broncos fans. I lurve Fluther more than I thought I did. =)

shego's avatar

@jonsblond I watched the game. 6 and 0 Thats my team, my state :)

Dr_C's avatar

@all… i watched the game.. it was good all around. Both teams played well but in the end our defense just broke down and poor pass protection. I still hate the donkos and am looking forward to a rematch in about 3 weeks.
also, las season the donkos were up 3 games just like this season… pretty sure they will melt down at the ens of the season again

jonsblond's avatar

@Dr_C sweet dreams my friend

shego's avatar

@Dr_C Is that jealously I’m sensing?
