It's funny, but in my undergrad days I used to remain king of my castle for extended periods when I was looking for focus. That, and I'd listen to nothing but classical music, mostly Mozart.

What do you mean, "king of your castle"? - I ask because I often use the phrase "my fortress of solitude" to describe my living situation and how I generally like to keep it private; I prefer usually to go to a public place or hang at a friend's rather than have people over, though I do like to throw an occasional party. But my theory on preferring to go to people rather than having them come to me is then I can leave whenever I want to, as opposed to politely hinting (or bluntly announcing) to friends that I should like them to leave now.

The term comes from this episode. Also "Master of My Domain".
