When you find yourself with a little down time, what do you do? I usually stare off into space until someone asks me whats wrong and ruins the moment. Or I will relax and read a good book.

I have the weekends off and usually spend them at my local dropzone skydiving (or just enjoying the banter when the weather is bad). Other than that I just go to the gym and swim or read a book or come on here

Read, watch tv, come here, or, of course, *fap fap fap fap fap*

Obvious, isn't it?

Seriously though, there *is* no free time for people like me.

Oh yeah, I forgot about spending my time here, I thought it was a figment of my imagination......go figure :)

Wait.......:eek:

i play my game boy micro or computer or play my guitar

I come here for some reason.

"Pull out a porno"? What decade are you living in...

I do almost everything in your poll, and i think a lot about stuff when I'm bored too.

What's free time?

What do I do with my free time? Uh... I don't remember. That's a very good question... *tokes*

I come here for some reason.

You come here for the witty repartee and to lament the loss of posters with fondnesses for randomness and abrasiveness.

I sometimes go throgh wal-mart pretending to have torrets to freak people out. Example:

Aisle 9, Morristown Wal-Mart

Lady: How much does this cost?

Employee: I don't know, let me see...

Lady: Oh here it is-

Me: Goddamn I'm horny.....

Lady: *stunned gasp*

Employee: *pulls out radio* "Security!"

Me: Fuck.....! I have no idea where I am, are you God?


I recently had to quit because:
A. I kept getting thrown out of wal-mart
B. Pretended to have torrets around someone who actually had torrets (really embarassing)
C. It was just so 'effing retarded.

I'm not sure you understand the condition you play

Guitar and internet. I read paper novels, maybe 5 or 6 hours a week, but that's been on the decline since I was a kid. Probably due to the amount of time spent online. :p I guess if I had all the text I read online in paperback format, it'd be a pretty thick volume each day.

"Pull out a porno"? What decade are you living in...

I don't leave it lying around, my mother has a tendency to just 'pop' in on occasion. And she thinks porn makes women look bad. If she saw it she would slap me silly. "What is this?", "Porn...", "You godless sonofabitch!" At which point I laugh, and then she slaps me.

"You godless sonofabitch!" At which point I laugh, and then she slaps me.That sounds a lot like my relationship to my wife's cat.

B. Pretended to have torrets around someone who actually had torrets (really embarassing)

That would be a killer. A kid I knew growing up had Tourettes or something similar - lots of twitching, not so much random cursing and outrageous comments. I don't think it's all that common. :p

you know you're asking a bunch of people spending their free time on an internet forum what they do in their free time? and you didn't even include NSG as an option.

incidentally, i voted for the 'read a book' option, because that's what i do in my free time when i'm not posting on NSG.

I'm not sure you understand the condition you play

Just what I see in the movies :)

Don't have the time to do any real research.

Good point. But it would confuse our lesser intelligent members *proceeds to admire oneself in the mirror*

Oh, and sp----errr.. Debate politics on here.

EDIT: And make crap like this if I'm bored enough..

Well, I'm not sure about either, but if that's what does it for you :p

Not bad at all.

Well, I'm not sure about either, but if that's what does it for you :p

Nah, mine's a court order, of sorts.

I behave oddly.

You know, run around in circles waving my arms, sing songs for no reason, tackle people and/or bushes, dance in public. For extra points, I do so naked. :)

For points, or for Pluto?

Well, I was doing so when Pluto was still a planet. But I would gladly do so for Pluto. :)

Preachin' to the choir, mon amis.


...call it .. erm, "therapy"?

I've got four other case workers on here, incognito.
I even suspect that there's other people in my situation as well, but i'm only working on suspicions at this point.

So what is it you have to do on here?

I generally think about how shit it all is, and then awaken from my reverie and curse myself for wasting time.

in the evenings after work i have "me time"... i watch dvds, play drums sometimes, piss around on this here laptop, xbox, occasionally do something productive. nothing too interesting.


at weekends i see my girlfriend, and have lots of fun being silly with each other, talking about stuff, watching movies, going places, taking walks, eating out, going shopping, watching star trek (:eek: :p)... and recently going out for fun drives in the new car with the roof down. tis awesome :D

i'd like to get back into taking photos but i just suffered too bad a crisis of confidence lately :(

So what is it you have to do on here?

I really shouldn't say.
If you guess around at it enough, i may give an affirmative or a negative about it, though.

I'm PRETTY sure you can figure it out, though.

When you find yourself with a little down time, what do you do? I usually stare off into space until someone asks me whats wrong and ruins the moment. Or I will relax and read a good book.
I've done that... it's good fun. I read, write, ponder.... I used to fly airplanes, but it's too damn expensive. I also play guitar occasionally. At the moment, someone has it, though.

listen to music whilst playing some game / explore the internet

For myself, I wouldn't really call it free time as much as procrastination. I always have something to do, like homework, picking up my brothers after school, going to the dentist...stuff like that. I usually, listen to music, play computer games, watch tv, eat, or laying in my bed trying to come up with justification for why I shouldn't be doing work.

I post here :( although that's when I have spurts of free time in between emailing/MSN chatting with clients.

when I have real free time (IE I am not supposed to be working or supervising the children or teaching etc.) I have sex........lots of it.........constantly.

1. Write.
2. Write.
3. Think of things to write.
4. If I can't do 1, 2, or 3, I mess around on NSG.
5. Since I've been doing 4 much less (or, rather, trying to take a break.. >.>), I mess around on Generalite Mafia.
6. Write moar.

That would be a killer. A kid I knew growing up had Tourettes or something similar - lots of twitching, not so much random cursing and outrageous comments. I don't think it's all that common. :p

there is a funny video of a newscaster with tourrets out on the internet.

it was like a weather reporter or something. very respectable too. he held it in for 16 years until....

"And your weather for today is... FUCKBITCHMOTHERFUCKERASSBALLSMONKEYFUCK"

lol

i do any number of things in my free time. seeing as i have a policy of doing as little work as possible, i generally get quite a lot.

reading is big, hmmm... conversing.... spending time here is definitely gonna be on the rise i love a good old debate.... sometimes i bike across the city for no good reason. kinda contradicts free time tho, doesn't it?

Recently I've been writing a CD, next comes recording.

same here kinda...i like to walk on the beach and look at the vast ocean...it helps me put things in perspective.
if i lived by the grand canyon i would imagine i would do the same...i guess i should be happy i live near a thing that i cant get my head around.

1. Possible (If im in the mood, do Algebra and Geometry homeword)
2. Write my political theory
3. Fap Fap Fap Fap.

5. Work on my racecar

I don't get a lot of "Free Time" :)

Video Games, TV, NSG

Repeat

:p

i have to say, if i lived on my own my answer would be rather dfferent i think.

Lots and lots of computer.

In order:

1. MMOs
2. NS
3. Discovery Channel
4. Wander around town with no particular destination
5. Be responsible and clean, pay bills, etc. Only as a very last resort, though.

Post on NSG.

In order:

1. MMOs
2. NS


Heretic! No MMO can ever be more important then NSG!

Wait...isn't NS technically an MMO? <.<

No NSG is not an MMO. NSG is an internet forum.

Free ... time?

Free ... time?

Aren't you retired?

That sounds a lot like my relationship to my wife's cat.
So, do you slap the cat, or does the cat slap you? And which one of you has the porno?
you know you're asking a bunch of people spending their free time on an internet forum what they do in their free time? and you didn't even include NSG as an option.
That's because NSG, like the rest of the 'net, is serious . . .
Well, you know the rest of the meme.

When not engaged in neccessary behaviors for the maintenance of life and lifestyle, I watch movies. Lots of movies. Probably too many, but I've never had to go without food for more than two or three days in a row to fund my rental/buying habits, so I think it is under control.

I get completely ripped on psychedelics and go freepartying. :D

But sometimes i'll just stay home and read or listen to music.

Aren't you retired?

There's a strange thing about being retired - you start doing all those things that you put on hold when you were working - like deep cleaning the house, finishing the novel, contacting old friends, visiting all the local places you neglected when working, moving, looking for work, social obligations, learning new skills .... Turns out I have less free time now than when I was working.

So, do you slap the cat, or does the cat slap you? And which one of you has the porno?
The cat gets spanked. Then i get chomped on the ankles at some point.
And there's an extremely personal anecdote regarding the porno that i'll skip for now, and instead point out that i bought "Pink Flamingos" AND some Emanuelle episode involving aliens from Blockbuster.
I don't actually remember what i was talking about when i mentioned the cat - perhaps i'll review for a moment.

EDIT: Upon review, i *think* i meant something that was gonna involve the extremely personal anecdote.
Since i have no shame, i'll just say it involves the fact that her cat*s* like to be spanked somewhat, but end up shedding all over the pillows afterwards at some point.
...following, of course, is their hair getting in special places at special times.
Following that, of course, is me yelling something about the cat being a godless sonofabitch.
I think.

I count things and then write them down in my notepad. Or sometimes, I look back over my previous notes and remember what fun I had counting them, and think how beautiful the numbers are.

I count things and then write them down in my notepad. Or sometimes, I look back over my previous notes and remember what fun I had counting them, and think how beautiful the numbers are.

Here are some numbers that have great meaning in my life:

4.
over 200.
twice.
three. :)
All of them.

:)

What do they stand for? Most numbers are meaningless without the thing they signify, except for really beautiful numbers like 7 or 3853 or 211.

4 is the number of kicks to the groin by a blackbelt martial artist it took to drop me to the ground on a bet.

over 200 is the number of times I have been struck in the groin to date.

Twice is the number of times I have gone to the emergency room over groinal incidents.

Three is the number of children I have fathered despite the above.

All of them is the number of NSGers amazed by that fact. :)

Well, I don't know if I'm amazed. Fairly surprised. It was unexpected, at least. Why do your dates hit you in the groin so much?

I divide my free time between forums, strategy games, and the occasional book. Oh and of course the ultimate time-sucker, school.

Post here complaining about my lack of free time.:p

1. Read. Books, online, the dictionary, whatever.
2. Write. No real rhyme or reason.
3. Play video games. Usually a source of amusement, however mind rotting it may be.
4. Post here. While I read here a lot, I rarely post anything. >_>

Well, I don't know if I'm amazed. Fairly surprised. It was unexpected, at least. Why do your dates hit you in the groin so much?

Probably because pepper spray just makes me hornier. :)

I don't think I've ever hit someone in the groin. Or at all, for that matter. I'm not very confrontational.
On an unrelated note, why does it say [QUOTE=Lunatic Goofballs;12786980]? What does 12786980 stand for?

What does 12786980 stand for?How many mud fights he's been in?
How many tacos he's delivered?

How many mud fights he's been in?

It just strikes me as an odd number to put there. Now, see this quote has 12787010.

See, a few people seemed to catch on to "the number of the beast".
When it was revealed a year or two back that, for several centuries now, a lot of inattentive and highly excitable folk had attributed that value to "666" instead of the more accurate reading of "616", the whole thing was unraveling somewhat.
Now, seeing as how Max Barry is actually an AI program, it's .. er, he's ... got a semi-random number generator assigning values of the same sort to posters here on NS.
For later cultivation.

"what do we do every night pinkey?"

this IS my 'free' time, and this is what i'm doing with it.
yah, when no one else is arround to rattle my 'brain', i play on the computer, making purdy pichers, playing trains, and noodling arround on the 'net.

i also make real little trains, read skiffy when i get the chance, sleep a lot, and have really cool trippy dreams, walk arround or ride the bus, on up into my hills when i get the chance. i used to play french horn and take pichers too.

finally got myself a decent camera again, so if i can ever get to where the pichers i like to take are,... i've found a few arround the house and arround where i can walk from it, but then i've only had it for less then a month yet.

i used to take tons when i was a kid growing up. most of those are gone now, although there are still a few boxes of slides that i took back in the late 60s.

i've got a few hundred 'purdy pichers' i've made with autocad and now blender, in addition to the photos. and of course combining these in various ways.

i don't really want to run the world. i may have as a kid. but i still have very definite ideas about the kind of world i'd like to be living in.

and it isn't about guns or money, but creating and exploring, and not messing things up for little furry creatures and our selves.

Having just looked at the latest Evolution vs Creationism thread I realized, that like everyone else here, I like to spend my free time flogging dead horses. Several dead horses in fact.
