I love staying home especially when the weather's bad. When the ground has been sprinkled with glistening white powder or the sky becomes overcast with attitude, I always love to cozy up with a book, and a hot beverage and settle in for the night.

So very true indeed! On both accounts.

And it's warm here. There are blankets. I don't like to leave if I don't have to. I think I could easily stay home for a full month.
I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.

Haha. Also rather true but doesn't restrict home to one place really.

I myself am I homebody but I do like getting out of the house occasionally since I do work from home and sometimes I can get that cabin fever type of feeling.

I don't necessarily love staying "at home" but I do enjoy the feeling of being "on my own"... whether it be at home or at a cafe or somewhere I can just sit and think by myself without distractions. Sometimes, home comes with a lot of distractions (like an internet connection or another person) so I need to get out to feel more like I am alone with myself.

Nothing better than being home all day without much that needs doing, unless you have been doing that for three months already and you are broke so you can't get out.

This is the worst! And exactly how I have felt over the past couple of weeks! Ask my friends! I think they are sick of listening to me complain about not being able to go out to eat because I have no money.
Just today I had to back out of an awesome ice skating trip because I couldn't afford to skate rental :(

I prefer staying home to going out. I like spending the night in reading or watching movies :)

As much as I love to travel, staying home is now my favorite thing to do. In public, you're forced to stop reading and carry on small talk but not at home. People know there are boundaries not to cross when I'm home.
