Used to be excessive amounts of weed, beer, brandy, cigarettes, and masturbating. Now, four weeks later, it's eating, comic books, and working out.
If I need a full on escape then alcohol quickly becomes my friend, either rum vodka or beer if I feel like that kind of drunk. Shrooms would be a second choice but since I moved I've lost access to them and really haven't felt the desire to go hunting around. Weed never did much for me as it was too light a high. Just makes ya dumb, if its good it will relax me, but most the time its just a dumb high, not something I was into.
On the lighter side to simply pass the time then its surfing the net and writing. Game making is the new thing since its just like writing with visual interpretations of the story. Used to game quite a bit, but I've had a falling out of it over the last couple years, just can't seem to want to sit down and actually play a game, I get anxious to quickly and move on to other things. Studying HTML is another thing and I think pixeling might become a new hobby.
But see the real escape is getting the hell out of the USA and over to Europe. Backpacking across the continent seems like it would be an awesome way to spend a few years.

I did that last year. Took up my backpack, a train pass and went around Western/Central/Northern Europe. 'Twas lots of fun. It gets tiring after while, though. I was just as eager to come back as I was to leave. Though now I'm itching to leave again (Central/South America this summer!).
Anyhow, I sing. It's a great way of using "sublimation" for most of my troubles away.

Ha, Etheon I might see you when I stop in central America for my trip around the world, for three months during the summer I'll be going all over the world.
Travel tends to be an escape for me too, of course I can't just do it any time, but this summer i'll be doing plenty.

Which reminds me, I met these two Irish guys in Copenhagen. And they didn't have much of an accent. I expected more from you people! >:|
Although they did say "fonny" instead of funny. That was pretty cool. And they pronounced a lot more than we do.
And good luck doing an "around the world" trip in three month; I'm scouring Central America (mostly Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama and Honduras) for two months and I have no idea how I'll manage it (too much to see!).

Well it's not completely all over the world since I'm only staying in a few places and I'll only be in others for a few days waiting for flights and stuff, I'm going to Australia with my girlfriend to meet up with my cousins, then after a while my brother will be there and we'll go to New Zealand from there, a few flights will end us up in LA and then after a while we'll go down to Central America, I'm not sure when but at some point we'll be staying at this cool little place in the rainforest and then we make the trip home stopping at a few places in Europe (most notably Amsterdam)
Also Yeah we don't have as much of an accent as people would think, sounds like the guys you met were from the south, they would have more of an accent than me.

Yep, I was right then, anyway there is a conspiracy, you don't have to be born there, just being there gets you the accent.
Sometimes the internet provides a good source of an escape. At other times some secluded time within my own house if my parents give me enough peace solves it. Sometimes a fay out with just close mates can be really good, or staying with a best mate can be really comforting and unwinding.

...This is kind of an old topic, but wth. My escape is usually doing something other than the thing that stresses me out. That sounds generic, but usually I get pissed at anything that I do if it starts to get uncomfortable or hard to do. So to escape that, I leave. Or that really isn't an escape.
So here are my real escapes:
-Computer
-Exercising
-Watching Television
-Sleeping
-Or just closing my eyes

Pretty much the same as other people.....I used to drink alot, do alot of drugs, have alot of seks, and party on.
Now when I want to escape i will occasionally smoke a joint, put on some headphones, and fade out into the distant beyond...
On the other hand, I love making games....I do that for at least 2-3 hours everyday though, so i wouldnt really call it an escape....unless im trying to escape all the time.....

I simply clear my mind and imagine a bubble of energy swirling around me and protecting me. People have learned by now to not disturb me when I'm doing it.

Music, art, games, walks, bike rides, books, writing, puppies and... well, pretty much everything I do is an escape. o3o
