No, not a thread bashing the antics of a tiny albino child in movie form.

But rather, a discussion on being home alone. Do you enjoy it? Would you want to do it more often?

Personally, I love being home alone. Maybe that's because my family annoys me. Maybe. I get to do what I want, break all the silly rules my mother enforces on me, and play my music really really loud.

Discuss.

I love it no family pestering you every 5 minutes, you can do whatever you want, walk around naked, throw a wild party.....man being home alone is a little slice of heaven

Being home alone sucks.

I may have enjoyed it when I was still a kid and in high school, but I moved out when I was 17. I've been home alone till my.. 19th.. or so. Then I moved in with my still-loving-happily-ever-after partner. I don't like it when I'm home alone. I miss my partner when I am.

*snap* Aw, dang it.

Since I take Internet classes, I'm home alone quite often. I really enjoy peace, quiet, and alone time.

Yes. It is quite peaceful.
Just me and my compy & lava lamp.

Love being home alone, get to blast music as loud as i want without anyone yelling to turn it down.

Hell, I'm alone at my house as I type.

I like it personally, I get to play YouTube videos loud enough to hear the words (usually random music videos that I just click repeat on over and over again).

I can stay home alone but if it is like that way for to long I'll start imagining I'm not alone any longer if you know what I mean.

I like having the house to myself every now and then.

I am able to clean it up a bit, get things organized, play cheesy power metal and sing along as loud and horribly as I want, I can game and be on the computer at the same time without anyone complaining..

It is nice, but only every now and then. I tend to get a bit hermit-ish if I am alone too much.

I don't mind being home alone. It means I can play games and music a) loudly and b) with the door open, and I don't have my mum showing me a new vase she bought every time I get up to go and do something else.

It's the only time I get any sleep.

At this moment, I am home alone. My roommate is off at a comic convention, and I've had since Wednesday all to m'self. I like it, but I also miss having my pal around. On the one side, clothing became optional when he left, but on the other, underwear is the only mandatory thing when he's home so I didn't gain much. But he's gone for a couple days more, and I've made more progress cleaning house since he left than the rest of the year combined... So if he makes a mess when he comes back, I might need to use a cattle-prod on him.

Being home alone is normal. I enjoy it. It's very... quiet.

Love not having to listen to my mom's badgering, and being able to watch whatever I want on TV.

naked in a room lit entirely with glow sticks blasting eurodance at 1 am. damn it's fun to be alone and piss off the neighbors

That sounds like an interesting thing to try, sadly my neighbor is a cop.

Hopefully not both at the same time.....

Oh yea all at the same time while holding a roman candle.

use headphones, it's not as awesome but a room lit by 20 glow sticks only is still really fucking cool, especially if you twirl some (ravers ftw)

i love staring into nothing all alone. it's like a hobby.

I enjoy being home alone. My mom doesn't have a job or anything, so it doesn't happen very often. I savor it when it does.

See, the way out of that is to get your own place and move out of your parents' house. But then still you must get call display so you don't need to pick up the phone when you're not in the mood for a tele-chewing_out.

Done it. Well, sorta. It wasn't glowsticks, it was neon body paint and a black-light lit room, and it was Dancemix 95.

I'm going to move out as of next month.

I love it. Watch TV and music loud, walk around naked. It's my relaxation time.

I have a wife and kid, so when I get to be home alone it's like a dream come true sometimes. You have no idea how annoying baby toys can get. Or, maybe you do. It's the only time I get to play games like Gears and Dead Space, so I don't have to let the baby experience the horrific gore. And, because my wife won't let me play them when the baby's around.

I love it. being a jackass, I hate my family and they annoy the hell out of me. I work during the day, they work during the night, we barely connect at all anymore, It's wonderful.

sometimes it gets boring.

I tend to enjoy my own company more than my familys.
-No awkwardness if I bring home random girls (I don't mean in some macho having sex with every woman in the planet way, I just have a lot of female friends and its awkward having them over).
-loud music
-clothes become optional
-siblings are not present
-don't have to worry about waking people up when I get home
etc

Dude! Duct-Tape!
It really solves all of life's problems. Duct tape over the baby's eyes, no gore to be seen. Or duct-tape the child to the wall of another room so it can't wander in on you. And duct-tape the wife's mouth so you don't have to hear her nagging because you duct-taped the child.

And yes, I know EXACTLY how annoying toys can be. My parents made the mistake of buying me the big 2-man "Marauder-like" Exo-Squad E-Frame. Move the arm/gun a certain way, laser sounds. Press the buttons on the side, laser sounds. Even the clicking noise of the legs being moved began to drive her nuts. Think she learned her lesson, nope! Bought my brother one of those giant toy ambulances with the lights/sounds and the four rubber square buttons on the passenger side door. You know, the ones everyone and their dog would go through the toy aisle and try to turn as many trucks on at once.

Dude I had the exo-squad stuff when I was a kid, it was the shit. They were mad expensive though, and I kept losing the guys that went in the exo-suits. I've tried duct tape, but child services said something about laws, and whatever, so I made myself a man-cave in the attic. Works quite well, I'd highly recommend it.

It's hit a hit or miss thing with me. Although, for me, it's usually miss since I've been here to college.

My college is a college town, so the university makes the city. When school's out, it's quiet as hell. I tend to spend a lot of time futzing around and generally amusing myself via gaming and such. Some days I just feel like interaction, though. And if it's ever a series of days where I'm here by myself (which means my best friend/roomie is out of town), then I'm usually bored as hell for the duration. Lately, he's been working from 8 AM until about 5-5:30, and I have work from 5-7 until 9-12, so I don't see him much anymore. It's a pretty solitary existence, which means lots of quiet and self-whatever, but I'm usually more depressed because of it. I'm a social robot by nature, so being by myself is rather boring.

Although there are moments when it's nice. Not much room in the dorm room, though, so I usually end up going out anyway, negating the by-oneself time. So, take that as you will.

Where duct-tape fails, use velcro. Cover a wall with the plastic hook end, and dress the bratling in something with the fuzzy cloth half all over the back of the clothes. So long as you don't hang them upside down or stick them really high up on the wall, don't think there's any laws against it. Just velcro a couple toys to the wall with them, and it's off to the ManCave!

I adore being home alone. Everything's catered to my needs. Lights can be off, window can be open, tv can be off (oh thank god), and music can go uninterrupted.

I really have nothing more to add. It's great. If you want to sleep, you can. If you want to take off all your clothes and smoother yourself in icecream, you can... but I totally don't. Why do you look at me like that!

I live alone(apart from my two cats), and it's great!
