en soledad

what are the kinds of activities you like to partake in by yourself?
everyone has their own individual quirks- some more odd than others.  

example: last night i had a random stomach ache. i immediately looked up 'reflexology' online and was able to identify the pressure point on my foot that correlated with my stomach. so there i was, 3:38am, massaging the pressure point on the bottom of my foot in hopes of alleviating the aches.  needless to say- the exercise worked and my stomach ache disappeared! no doubt, this was an activity that could not have been successfully completed within the company of others (at 3 something in the morning at least.)

i guess solo time is under/overated at times. within the past month and a half i've had house guests every other weekend. fun times (in general)! but in the words of my little bro (who had a friend spend the night the other evening), "it's exhausting hosting guests and sometimes you just want to go back and resume your regular life."

so, what do i do? i run home to seattle. . .to be surrounded by family 24/7.
go figure.
