josephrjusticeThis is my answer to the OKC question "If you had to choose between spending a weekend hiking and camping or going to Broadway shows with the same friends, which would you choose?" The possible answers are: (1) Camping; (2) Broadway; (3) I would be happy with either (4) I would rather stay home.
I don't tend to "go out and do things" a lot, I *think* in large part because I don't have someone to do things with. (Perhaps I'm mistaken about myself, and if I had someone to do things with or even someone who actively desired to do things, I still would not do so / desire to do so.) I guess I see going to, I don't know, a movie or a music performance or the like by myself to be lonely, and kind of sad. If I'm going to be alone, I might as well do that at home where I have my creature comforts.
That having been said... Given the choices as presented, I would much rather do the Broadway shows, I think. I'm more of an indoors, urbanized, creature comforts kind of guy, I think. Going out for an afternoon walk or hike, or maybe even a day trip, might be all right, but camping out for an overnighter or weekend... If I found I wasn't having a good time, what else would there be to do? Not much, I don't think, other than just go home. While, I think I would enjoy the Broadway shows, but even if I found I wasn't enjoying them there's all sorts of other things I could do instead; there's lots of alternatives and choices in the city. (Besides, in the outdoors, where would the electric and Internet outlets be for me to plug in my computer? *ducks*)
So, my answer for this is (2) Broadway. And, I'm going to say that acceptable answers by others to this question for me would be Broadway, "happy with either", or "rather stay home", and that this is ... somewhat important to me.
