I didn't.
Was out friday, at my friend's house, playing "Bang!" (a card game) with some people he knows.

After that, got home and took it easy all weekend.
And though I should get petfood today, the poor beasts may have to deal with oats for dinner tonight.

I had to leave the house to do laundry & shopping. And I did something different and went for a walk to the nearby museum. It was good.

I answered 'family/friends forced me to', as otherwise I wouldn't have left. Weekends are my rest times. With my current routines, I take refuge and recharge then. :)

I was going to go to the reptile expo but I didn't want to interact with the people. My parents won't let me get another reptile pet so why should I go? The majority of reptiles are bearded dragons and I already have one of those. I have my own bearded dragon so there really isn't any need to go see more. My mum ususualy picks up her food for me and I can always have invertebrates delivred and I plan to grow my own vegetables for her. Anything I need for her I can get online. Reptiles make wonderful pets for hermits.

I was guilt tripped into a lunch date on Saturday. Went for a drive by myself on Sunday. The rest of the time was spent indoors at my computer.

I spent some time with people, but only by the skin of my teeth, if you follow the metaphor.

I "had to" go to the music club, as a friend had asked me to perform with her, so there was a bit of practising beforehand. In a way I didn't want to do any of it, and felt I was just going through the motions of socialising. It probably looked good from a distance, but I knew I was off form, I was just fitting in and boring myself silly in the process. But it was probably better than just looking at the inside of my scruffy house all weekend. I seem to be on a low ebb when it comes to energy. It's like there's nothing worth doing. :(

I also went out shopping once or twice......couldn't think of anything else to do, so I thought I'd use the time to stock up on non-perishable food, in the hope that it will free me from shopping duties in the near future, and by then I might have thought of something to do with the spare time.

So yes, I left the house, but to no avail.

I have to say yes.

With my parents.

Because I actually forced myself to have a job in another country this year in order to become more autonomous... Well... It's hard ! :lol:

I wanted to go to the cinema on Sunday, but the parents didn't, so I stayed in. I did go shopping on Saturday though.

Yes, as per usual while the weather is still warm enough my 11 year old PDD/AS son and I went to the cafe which has the sun for longest in the mornings now, on Saturday, and sat at the terrace there for an hour and a half. I smoked my usual two cigarettes and drank my usual black coffee with honey, and he drank a cup of hot milk with honey, ( it's always that or pineapple juice ), and we thought up rules and stats and so on for a pen and pencil stick-man platform game, and then he drew a tutorial level which we both walked our stick-men through, and then I drew the first "real play" level, with deadly obstacles throughout, and he played it, telling me in graphic detail how his character was dealing with the various challenges, and then I did the same. :lol

In the afternoon, straight after lunch my son's french papa and I went out to the local supermarket for 45 minutes, ( leaving son at computer ), and bought a lot of the usual stuff.

On Sunday morning my son and I went out to the same cafe for the same length of time, and drank the same things, and drew and played levels 2 and 3 of the stick-man game! :) :lol

I go out of the house every time I smoke a cigarette, about 7 times a day, max, and sit on the step of the house opposite us, ( which is empty almost all the time, except when the owners come to dump stuff there, or clean it out, or cut the huge rose tree ); the "street" is only about 2 metres wide, cobbled stones, and no cars drive up it because it ends in stone steps and a 90° angle turn into another even narrower "street".

I had to leave the house because I had to get food.
I seriously hate shopping on weekends because that's when everybody else shops. Too many people.

Aw, growing food for her sounds like a really cool thing to do.

I went out to get a haircut and purchase materials for my art classes.

I'm not sure which one to vote for.

I wanted to go out...I really, really needed to get out of the house...I had awesome plans for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday...and every single one of those events got cancelled :x

It was kind of depressing. If today gets cancelled too, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself.

I tried making a stick-man platform game once, but as per usual, I got complete writers' block over the level design and never really got anywhere with it :oops:

Yep. I went for walks, had to go grocery shopping, had to meet someone to buy the diapers from them, and then went to my autism group.

I'm assuming it just means a platform game where a stick figure is the main character.

It's rare when I leave the house during the weekend. Sometimes it's rare if I even leave my bedroom except to take a shower, and eat meals.
