The whole issue of "getting a life" has always perplexed me. Where does one find a life? How does one know if when they've successfully gotten one?

Yes - it was a totally serious question, although I'm kind of gunning for the philisophical answer. It is a fascinating thing to think about.

Lots of good answers. Being the indecisive loser that I am, I'll put this one to a vote.

my dear LIFE is within you...you do not have to go looking for it....look inside you. You breathe the air thats life, you eat thats life, you love that life...what more can you ask for. Enjoy life as you have it....you may never get another chance. And look around you....

Well, the best is to change whatever has happened in the past. Although it seems too impossible, we can. Forget about the past. No use of thinking about the past as it is over. We can't do anything about it. Trust me think of the future. It is time you move on. Get a life just purely means "Hellow! Come back To Earth!" This is life.. Its all about ups and downs. You have to go with what god has for you. All these are just tests of god nothing more than that.. Have fun.. Life is short. Live it to the fullest or if not you will think of the times that you could have enjoyed. Well, this was not picked up from anything, from the truth. The pains that I have gone through.

Want to find the real life then go and visit where the poorest people live they are starving but still learn how to be happy and share whatever they have not like the rich who have everything but still are not happy. you can get the meaning of real life by helping the most needy person.u will really gain new life when u see a smile on their face and when they give their blessings to us.

Start socialising more. Make friends, chat to people, attend activities , e.g : entertainment , sporting events etc. Do not stick to a dull routine. Where to get involve? Youth groups, clubs, YMCA, YWCA. With such an exciting schedule you will have no time to be in the doldrums and get your-self in an un-healthy state of mind.

Sears usually has a few lives in stock. if you can't find one there, you can always find it on Ebay.
seriously, it means 'grow up' 'act like an adult' 'stop obsessing about miniscule things' et cetera.
sometimes people will tell you that when you won't stop talking about something like myspace or a certain video game. or maybe a celebrity or a car you like. people don't want to hear about your 'hobbies' of doing useless things, they want you to 'get a life' and actually do something with it.
get to work, go to school, do something productive with your life. then you will find it.

the general consensus of modern philosophy is the you need to pull away all the negative influences in your life and replace them with only positive. but as for the get a life, i would tell the person to quit being so self righteous and that they only say things like that to make them feel better, because they in fact are boring and they know it

you already have your life, you just need to live it by your standards and not others. you will know you have successfully gotten one, when you are at peace with where you are at. I believe that God made us with a missing a puzzle piece . only He can fill that space. we search everywhere trying different things to fill it, such as drinking , relationships etc. the only time we will feel totally comfortable with ourselves is when we choose God in our lives. only then are we complete.

Ask Dorothy. She'll take you down the Yellow Brick Road to meet the Wizard of Oz. He'll tell you.

When you decide to take control of your life; with control comes a feeling of hopefulness and freedom, with that a vibrancy and energy to achieve your own 'life purpose', each as unique as the people on the planet!
Peace!

Oh please!!! Philosophy is just a buch of B.S. and speculation of thought and learning. Getting a life involves getting involved with something you have a passion for. Meeting other people with like interests and feeling like you have made a difference in your part of this small world. That, I believe, is getting a life!
