People can be seperated into 2 groups. Well, actually more, but I'm talking about particular 2. The people who like to party, hang out with friends, go places and have a crazy life. On the other hand there are the group of people who like their alone time. Quiet. They rather sit at home, reading or watching TV than go out and party.

Which one out of those two are you and what you think about the other group of people?
 
I don't think you can necessarily draw a distinct line between both.

I like staying in, watching tv, going online, reading etc. but I also like going out with my friends. That said, I'm not so much of a clubbing person, I'd much rather meet up in a pub or go for a coffee or a shopping spree. 😀

It's okay to be both :)
Actually, I disagree. I'm both. I love to be on my own, doing my own thing but I also adore being with my friends, going to the pub, dancing or maybe catching a show.

I enjoy a good book, or a great DVD boxset as much as I love a really great house party, or a nice meal out with my friends.

Basically, I love it all. It's nice to mix it up.
 
I do both, but my friends aren't one for regular get togethers so I could go for weeks/months without going to the pub or out to a club. I mostly spend time alone in my room either reading or going online. I wish I could go outside more and socialise more but my crippling shyness doesn't really allow for that, so its a hermit life for me for now.

I do go to lots of gigs and festivals though so that kind of makes up for it.

You don't seem shy to me! :)
I love parties. Especially themed parties and foam parties and house parties! Those are always fun.

The thing I hate the most is going to a club, getting drunk, and hooking up with a guy you have never seen. My friends seem to enjoy that kind of party, so these days, I mostly stay home and fangirl.

But there is this really awesome club in my town, and they always have themed parties. Like Lady Gaga themed party, and I love their Halloween parties, and Christmas party is always so nice.. but these years Easter party was a little bit weird with bouncers dressed up as big bunnies. Ironically, my favorite party is the one for the end of the summer. I hate saying goodbye to summer, but those parties always go so well.

I LOVE theme parties!
I've always thought that I might be the reincarnation of some old mountain man from a couple of hundred years ago. I've always been most comfortable in a solitary situation. It's not that I don't like people, nor (I hope!) that people don't like me, it's just that I get almost claustrophobic around more than a few people. Crowds make me very nervous.

LOL....mountain man, that gives me a good picture of you! :)
I like to sit at home and read or draw or watch tv. Usually while drinking tea. 😀

However, I love to have company come over. I'm usually the host for my group of friends parties. The only thing that's crappy about that is that I'm always the one stuck with the clean up. *sad face
 
Depends on my mood, but I'm mostly a stay-at-home gal. I like to hang out with the hubby and kids or other family. When I do go out, it's just for drinks in the local bars. Not much of a choice around here!
 
Both! I like both for different reasons. Sometimes I just don't feel like socializing at all. But I gotta admit I'm usually having more fun with friends. Oh and, I do prefer a small crowd to a big one.
 
I like to stay at home, read a book or watch tv or be online. Which my mom doesn't like. She'd rather I get out there and not stay at home so much. But it's who I am. It's like...I'm not who she'd like me to be.

I'm sure your mom loves you for who you are! :)
I'm definitely both. And when I party - I party! But I also occasionally spend entire weekends in my room not really talking to anyone. I guess I'm the perfect gemini - two entirely different people with me.
 
I am both I can party and enjoy it when I am in the mood. I can be quite the party animal but I also love alone time. I am a loner it is hard to explain I am very friendly and will hangout but I have to really want to because I enjoy watching my shows and doing all that good stuff as I get older I really love alone time.
 
I hate partying. I'm not that person. Parties fill me with dread... Like thinking about going out and partying makes me feel like dying. I'm much more the sit here alone type... but what I'm really all about is the sitting with my friends at their house watching TV, or playing a board game, or playing cards. My mother's husband and my sisters and their friends say I'm boring and that's what old people do... but it's SO fun! I love just sitting with my friends in their living room watching TV. Or what we also like to do is go to the park and swing. People think that's childish and boring, but it's so fun. I don't know... none of us are party people.. we're much more quiet

My husband tells me I'm like an old woman. Ina good way. :)
I'm neither a fan of partying nor staying at home alone. I'd rather be outside...doing pretty much anything. Swimming, horseback riding, running, hiking, having a picnic with my family or friends. I love to hang out with a bunch of friends and play a game, like volleyball. But being out just taking a stroll with my son is just as much fun.

I feel like I should elaborate on my answer... I say partying because I am very much a social creature. Making connections with other people is like my life's purpose...it's more or less what drives me. And I'm also a very energetic person...not just in the sense that I'm very high energy, though there is certainly that, but I very much feed off of the energy of others. I really don't do very well alone. Alone I tend to feel lonely. I recognize that this is a problem and I continue to try and strengthen myself inside so that hopefully this will not always be the case. Also because i am so sensitive to the energy around me I can easily get overwhelmed in large crowds. Ultimately what fills me are intimate one on one moments where I really feel like im truly connecting with another person.

So much of this is exactly how I am too!

I like going drinking. I like karaoke. I host Magic: The Gathering tournaments with my friends. I read. I watch Buffy. I play with my cats and my dog. I go to Beatles tribute band concerts. I make art.
 
I love going to parties, and I love staying in with the right people. When I'm around others, I'm very outgoing and extroverted, but I like to be quiet and reflective just as often, (if not more so).
