Well well fellow TL.netizens. This very christmas I won't be able to spend with my family due to the poor preparation of the cities and railroad companies to a winter which is very similar to the last three.
However, this time the timing is so bad that I won't be able to make the trip home to my parents home where the family meets.
So my question to you, since TV is shitty: What to do? I am stuck in this apartment, my friends are all at home with their families (since theirs live in this city). I have Starcraft 2 (EU), World of Warcraft (EU), a TV and the Internet at my disposal. A bunch of books too, currently reading Getting Things Done and Think and Grow Rich.
But I'm fucking bored. Fuck the snow, fuck the city, fuck the companies. This is the first time in my life (Age: 24) I can't spend christmas with the family and it sucks.

You're not alone... you're with us. Your true family.
We love you.

I am a Buddhist and as such do not celebrate Christmas (my family does and they get together on the 26th though). If you want, we can play some SC if you're on the US server :D
Otherwise my advice is to do what I do: get a good book, make a pot of tea, and lay in bed all day in read. Or use a DS or PSP or some video game equivalent of a book (I prefer the book, though).
Forget that it's Christmas and enjoy a quiet day to yourself 
Also, it says you're from Germany!
If you're there now, take a stroll through the hills! when I used to live in Germany, I walked all over the place, whenever I could. On Christmas day, I'd be willing to bet there wouldn't be a soul around. That would be awesome!
I'm starting to envy you lol

Sit on your porch and throw snowballs at random people who pass by. Make a little bonfire too, and if you have some sausages oder something in your fridge, roast them.

I agree. That's how I'm spending my Christmas Eve here in the US (=

Works for when im bored/alone at least. Sucks to be in your situation, at least make the most of 'alone time'. It doesn't last forever (usually ;P)

go and eat EVERYTHING they got in MCdonnalds than you will have to throw a shit all day long so you will be not bored anymore, also you can make a fort in your apartment and be naked for rest of the xmas : )
btw you are not alone we are with you.

Remember that game, MMO or RPG, that you desperately wanted to play, but couldnt more than one hour cuz studys and other stuff, and more than one hour a day was required to feel like you actually achieved something ? go do that now, all day you have the time, make it a marathon

I do that with FFIX like every other year :D

I was in the military, stationed over sea's. I missed 4 christmas's in a row. 
Just think the next time you do spend it with them, it will be that much better!

It sounds like the perfect time for a 48 hour marathon masturbation session.

Indeed. Team Liquid saves Christmas.

Sorry to read you have to spend your first christmas alone. Stupid weather. Hope you will have a semidecent time anyway, maybe spoil yourself with something really nice
I once spent newyears eve alone. Maybe it is a bit patetic but it made me realize you are never really alone as long as you got Internet.
So for what its worth, I wish you a merry christmas from my corner of the Internet to your corner.

I agree with this man. Enjoy the isolation. Dexter is a solid 56 hours of television atm. Damn good writing and only like 2 seasons have some meh endings.
If not dexter, breaking bad is incredible. I just watched all the walking dead which was kind of interesting but only around 6-7 hours in total.
Besides that play some ladder or something. Of you get too bored break out the SNES and play some megaman X/Chrono Trigger or n64 and play the zelda's for it (both OoT and MM)

also make yourself something badass to eat for the next couple of days while watching TV. See what you have in your house and make the best of it. As long as I have ground beef I make some badass spaghetti meatsauce if you want to know the recipe PM me
