Not lifting for 4 days...
I can't lift for the next four days due to me feeling i need this break because it feels like I'm sore 24/7(BTW i love feeling sore, that's the reason my friends got me into weight lifting  ... I've been lifting intensely and continuously for the past 8 months and feel like i need to take some time off though taking this time off is going to kill me because i love being in the gym... Any ideas on what to do when I'm out of the gym??(should i do some body weight exercises or just do some r+r)

No, just relax and enjoy it. Personally I take a week off every 8 weeks to reset my system and let my muscles fully recover, and I have made some great gains while doing this. Just enjoy it, and do it more often than every 8 months.

Just make sure your diet is in check. No harm in doing something like swimming/riding a bike or whatever but I wouldn't challenge your strength the same way you would in the gym cause that would be missing the point of your week of.
