So I'm on UrbanOhio at 11 p.m. Saturday and realize there are few people posting messages. So I look to see that only 17 members are logged on to UrbanOhio. On weeknights, the number is usually 10 times higher or more.

 

So I ask the question:  where is everybody? Are you at the theater? A bar/nightclub? Some festival? Restaurant? Coffee shop? Going for a walk? At home cuddling with your S.O.?

I don't party that much. Im home on saturday nights pretty often. I think most people use UrbanOhio as a tool to get them through work/classes during the week day (notice the forum is always hopping at like 3pm on weekdays, when people are ready to leave their office or whatever). There's probably a few people that don't log in but view the forum so they don't look lame being here on a Saturday night ;) Hence high number of guests late at night/low number of members.

There were only 50-some guests, too, when I posted that message.

Saturday night I think there really are a lot of members out doing stuff but during weekday nights, you see an insane amount of guests. Like 8-10 viewing pages.

Enjoying Sleeping in my own bed while catching up on my reading.  I know, exciting. 

A few days ago I was looking at my stats on my profile and it showed that 11 is my most active time. Saturday night is probably my most active night too since I get to sleep in on Sunday. And yeah there aren't too many people on. Some nights though I would be on until 2 or three in the morning and there would be members online and actually carrying full conversations with each other on some threads lol.

I'm either out, or I'm too lazy to be putting forth the effort of sitting in front of my computer.  I'm generally only on when I'm at work (which might as well be all the time, but definitely not 11pm on a Saturday!) since my old dinosaur at home only has 512 MB of RAM, and there are other things on which I'd rather spend my money :-D.

Last night I visited my friends in Akron. Hung out with them, went to a frat party, got bored (breeders standing around and drinking is not my cup of tea), then walked to the Interbelt and danced until like 2 and then made my way back to Kent.

Usually in front of the TV with s.o., or in bed sleeping.  Pretty exciting.

I went to a breeder party maybe 30-40 years ago, stayed 15 minutes and vowed never to do that again.

 

Normally I'd be one of the folks that you see logged on at 11 p.m. on a Saturday night, but last night I was resting up from a day at the neighborhood art fair and printing and packaging replacements for the prints I sold, to be ready for today's fair. I did really well this year, definitely worth the effort. I had even more fun than I would have had on the forums, I think. Talking with people face-to-face can be a surprisingly gratifying experience.

 

Maybe I should get a life. Where do I find one, and how much do they cost?

Yea, and my friend and I had an awesome time. Well, there was a moment where this creeper tried to grind with my friend and I, but we avoided him and continued dancing.

I didn't even stay for 15 minutes, it was closer to 5 minutes. It was so boring; they played crappy music, stood around, drank cheap beer (not that I drink cause I am only 18 :angel:), and did nothing fun. The only way anyone could have enjoyed themselves is if they were smashed, which made up the majority of the party goers. Oh, and the house was a piece of s***. The bathroom was horrible, there were holes in the floor, and I have no idea how people live there.

On Saturday nights at 11pm, I'm on my way home from work.  Usually in bed by midnight.

I am already flabbergasted by this thread.

Me too. I was expecting to read more exciting tales of clubbing, cruising, cuddling...

I was at our office manager's end-of-summer cookout in Columbia Station this past Saturday night, complete with bonfire, keg of Bud Light, Pizza Pan, and the UFC pay-per-view projected on the side of their barn.  It was a slice of hillbilly heaven!  Normally I'd probably be in bed or reading a book, or surfing the net.

(Im staying at home this summer in Columbus) and couldn't get any sleep last night because my stepdad and mom were up all night in the office playing loud @ss music, talking loud and drinking Kahlua until 4AM. They stole my Bubbly and didn't even ask first! I didn't know people in their late 40s could get down like that.

^Could've been worse - "bow chicka bow wow"...

Ugh

Are you sure you weren't in a condemned building?  That sounds so nasty!

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a "breeders party".

^I'm guessing a party that's predominantly populated by "your" people. :-D

^I'm guessing a party that's predominantly populated by "your" people. :-D

 

It's what "those people" call a "party" but it really isn't by "our" definition. Andrew0816 described it very aptly; a bunch of bored people standing around drinking cheap beer and listening to bad music. In the rare event that there's food, it'll be a couple bags of chips, or if somebody really went overboard there might be a box of party mix.

 

It's mostly a whippersnapper's phenomenon, though. As they grow up, some of them get acquainted to some of us and get invited to some of our parties, and take home some of the entertaining ideas that they pick up. By the time they reach their thirties, some of them have learned how to entertain and have fun.

ha.  it's really hard to argue with this definition of an early twenties party. and yes, now in my thirties our parties have become much more "refined".

Got it!  Thanks.  Yeah, looking back at going to some of those parties, I don't know how I did it.  The houses were always a disaster.  You would be waiting in line at the keg, while some guy soaked in beer with no shirt on is sucking on the nozzle of the keg doing a keg stand...and then you fill your beer up with that nozzle.  Like rob said, there would never be any food whatsoever, other than a bag of chips that was soaked in beer because someone set it on the beer pong table...you know, the table that had napkins and magazines and bills stuck to it.  Your feet would always be stuck to the kitchen floor, the house would smell...I am glad the days I never wanted to end, ended.

I'm not going to pretend I didn't have a blast during my time at very similar parties during my giddy youth. But, that said, there isn't enough money in the world for me to go back and re-live those days.

 

Yes, it's a college kid phenomenon. Rite of passage? Maybe. Low expectation levels? Probably more realistic.

 

At 11 pm Saturday night, I was enjoying a few moments of peace and quiet after I finally got the kiddies to sleep. My uncle bought me a bottle of 43 year old scotch (yes, 43 years old,  :-o ), for my birthday so I had a little of that on the patio and smoked a hand rolled cigar that a friend gave me. Pretentious? You bet....and also free!

I'm guessing; translation for our generation = "troll."

I'm so glad I didn't have friends or attend any "events" described like this while in college.

 

Just the thought of that makes me want to "earl"!  ewwwww

Got it!

I don't get on the computer much over the weekends.  I don't post to UrbanCincy until Monday, and quit posting on Friday.  I occasionally get on UO to check a couple threads I find interesting, but it is only brief and is done while I'm reading the online news.

 

I'm on my computer enough during the week, so it is my way of cutting myself off and getting back to reality.  I will do anything to stay away from the computer on weekends (except for Facebook that is...the weekends are the only time I do that).

Are you sure you weren't in a condemned building?  That sounds so nasty!

If it wasn't condemned, it should have been.

You got it! lol  :clap:

I'm usually at home. Alone. In the dark. With the shades drawn.

Drinking? Photoshopping?

 

 

Oh! .... sorry. I should have knocked. :oops:

Sobbing.

 

Nah, 11 PM on a Saturday? I'm probably out on the bike causing mischief around town, or working on some text or image.

good idea for a thread!

 

i try to go out on friday or saturday, but only one of them and i switch off depending on whats going on. i think i go out at night more on friday than saturday because i am usually marching around town on saturday and too worn out by nighttime.  :laugh:

 

as for exciting my spouse is going to see paul weller (the jam/style council) at the highline on weds night with a friend (from steubenville!) and then we're going to see goldfrapp friday at radio city. so most likely this week i'll stay home on sat night.

 

oh and i just had a nph sighting an hour ago (nph = neil patrick harris aka doogie houser). wait is that exciting? ha.

 

 

 

 

i was having white russians

Oh, My! That brings back memories! The last time I got really sh!tfaced it was on those. They go down so easy, sneak up on you, and when they hit, they hit hard.

 

That was a loooong time ago.

Well in my case, no where! LOL If I do, its usually to Taco Bell for a late night snack. Everyonce in awhile I'll drive home and see friends and usual watch movie or bitch about Politics! lol

 

After eating Taco Hell, I'm surprised you're not at an emergency room at 11:15 PM!

It's not Taco Hell, it's Toxic Hell.

That queso crunch wrap is alright though

THAT CRAP!

Call me crazy, but I like Taco Bell.  Give me a half pound cheesy bean and rice or a half pound potato bean and beef burrito any day.  And all that for $0.99.  I'm one of the people that don't need to be drunk to eat it either.  You can keep your Table 45 MTS, just give me my Toxic Hell.

ummm...and you wonder why your "vertically challenged"?  :-o  :-D

I gave up on Taco Hell several years ago after I ate a burrito while on a road trip. It's no fun being in the middle of nowhere, by yourself, a few hundred miles from home and getting puke-sick. On a cold, gray, rainy day.

taco bell and KFC are on the same page for me.  About once a year I get the craving, eat, and then realize why I haven't had it in a year... that being said, the double decker taco and grilled stuft steak burrito are a little on the delicious side.  I don't know about 11pm though.  At least 2am, definitley impaired required.

I love Taco Bell! Mainly because it is cheap, they're open late, and I am now a poor college student! :laugh:

 

MTS- maybe you can't eat Taco Bell because you're, you know, not as young as some of us... :wink:

I'm a man of a certain age who love quality meals not laxatives that pass themselves of as fast food.  Damn whippersnapper!

lol, keep on telling yourself that. Just playin  :-D. If I could afford to not go to Taco Bell... who am I kidding, I would still go there because I am cheap.

Most Saturday nights I'm usually at home with my partner watching a movie, but probably 2-3 times a month we'll go out (Friday or Saturday). Not really clubbing per se, but just a late bite to eat in some neighborhood joint in Tremont, Ohio City or downtown.

 

"Oh, My! That brings back memories! The last time I got really sh!tfaced it was on those."

 

Last time I got sh!tfaced on mixed drinks it was black russians - just like a white russian without that silly dilution with dairy products! :drunk:

Lawd!  I'm sorry I ate fire roasted spicy scorpions and eels in China.  I would eat that everyday over Taco Hell.
