So which one are you?  Tongue

Based on what you know of me…what do you think?

I know you're tempted to choose wild beast/demon, but just think about all the benefits of being a god  Big Grin
You can love everyone except those who annoy you. You can throw those in a lake of fire of your own making 

See?  Tongue

Before I was married, I commonly spent a good amount of time alone.  Usually, the most time I could manage (due to work or school) was a weekend with no contact at all, but even if I had time off, like a week, typically I would end up going to a store for fresh food at some point, and so I would see people there and not be able to claim literally no human contact.

Now I am only alone for some time if my wife goes out of town on business, which does not happen much.  I prefer being with my wife, but I am fine being alone.

I think if/once I get married I'm going to live in a separate house from my husband. At the very least, separate rooms.  Tongue

To be honest, I have been known to spend days by myself. The longest amount of time that I spent with no human contact was about a week. I literally ate, slept, watched movies, read, and wrote. That was all my existence comprised of.

I see your point, but being a demon would be more fun (in my opinion). Unless of course, I could be a god and yet resemble a demon. In that case, god it is.

That seems like a rather odd notion. But hey, do you. Big Grin

You'd be god. You can do whatever you want, the only downside is having an antagonist annoying you and trying to ruin your creation at all times.  Tongue

I just don't like sleeping with other people in the same bed. Everything about it annoys me so much. I guess this is a confession?  Tongue

...

I have done similar things, though I am not sure if I managed a week without going out to buy food.  Also, I would need to either substitute listening to music for writing, or simply add listening to music to the list of activities.

Now, if my wife were out of town for a week, I would probably go hiking a day or two, and then I would likely end up seeing people.  If nothing else, I would see them in their cars as I was driving to where I would be hiking.  But that would be incidental or 'accidental' seeing people, rather than doing something for the purpose of seeing anyone.  The same idea, of course, applies to going to a store to buy food.  I might also see someone while checking my mailbox.  However, I might waste time on the internet communicating with people, and that would not be incidental or 'accidental' interactions with people.  But I have gone for weeks at a time without going online, so it is difficult to be sure what I would get up to with my wife out of town.  With her in town, it would be the same, except that I would see my wife, and she might drag me out into the world of people occasionally, or invite someone over.  But since I like spending time with her, it is better when she is around.

Anyway, you are far from alone in enjoying time alone.

I would have no antagonists, as any real omnipotent god would destroy such beings.

Well that doesn't sound like too bad a thing. I myself am not overly fond of it unless it is absolutely necessary. I suppose that is just something for you and your future husband to work out. Tongue

I am definitely glad to know that I am not alone in this. I have been called odd for enjoying such things.

True, but I imagine having an antagonist could provide you with a bit of fun  Tongue

This would be a condition I'd place very on in a serious relationship. So he'd take it or leave it, nobody is irreplaceable  Tongue

Yeah  Tongue

"You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I will have another you by tomorrow,
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking
You're irreplaceable.

So since I'm not your everything,
How about I'll be nothing, nothing at all to you?
Baby, I won't shed a tear for you,
I won't lose a wink of sleep,
'Cause the truth of the matter is
Replacing you is so easy." 

This is my jam, after learning people really are easily replaceable (myself included)  Heart

Nice to know that I am known as being replaceable. And here I thought I was a unique individual. Tongue
