ok, just wondering what you guys love doing in your spare time??? haha i really don't do much except go on Veritaserum and i go on MySpace, and i also go on falloutboyrock.com. Yes the computer pretty much controls my spare time...just like the elves at the factory control my mind wacko.gif . yup i need to get some new hobbies. so i want to know what you all do when you have spare time. i hope you all have good things to do! laugh.gif haha and i also think of weird things like what colors i should dye my hair and what my friends are doing right now and all these weird things...like elves at my brain factory. haha i know, weird!

So, now back on topic (the elves are making me stay on topic tongue.gif ): What do you do in your spare time?

Esrb99: haha i watched that video. funny stuff! it's cool, kind of like the kind of stuff i bet my guy friends would do! you added me on myspace didn't you? do you have a youtube account also?

bluephoenix5: hehe, you eat a lot of chocolate, huh? i wish i could eat chocolate, but my mom doesn't want me to eat it.

NyMpHaDoRa: wow, you swim? i don't have a pool or even a pool near me, you are lucky! haha and if i ever go outside i either run inside because i'm a whimp and i am afraid of getting mosquito bites or i get very hot/cold and have to run inside anyways! and you are lucky because you can write. i totally suck at writing. i wish i could write stories, but all i can write are some weird song lyrics! haha smile.gif!


wow all of you guys see m to have more of a life than i do, haha! and now i have a lot of spare time so i am sooo much more pathetic, haha! i also listen to music especially on MySpace and my CD player and i also daydream for half the day. but today i am gonna watch One Tree Hill so yay! but i won't have anything to do later, boo. i have too much spare time now, it kind of sucks. no wait...it sucks more than 'kind of'...big time sucks. and i talk to my few friends on MySpace also, but first i have to wait for them to talk to me first. yay and boo. smile.gif sad.gif

If you're finding yourself glued to your computer screen all summer, I LUV FALL OUT BOY (I apologize for sounding a bit formal there; I don't believe I yet know your first name unsure.gif), my solution to any boredom/apathy-related problem is to take a course. You could try something online or at a local university depending on where you live, or if it's too late to register for something like that, you ought to create your own intellectual experience. Museums are a good place to start, for example, because if you listen to the audio guides, you learn not only about art but also a ton about history, cultural tradition, etc.

I know it sounds like a dull plan, or at best, very cheesy, but it really does work-- I've studied in some form or another over the past four summers, and it's been great. If you don't like the idea of an academically-oriented break from school, try to get a job. IMO, it's really important to do stuff with your head, even during "down time." If thinking is one of your hobbies, it's pretty difficult to get bored. smile.gif

I also would recommend trying to do some outdoors activities in the nice weather-- I like going on long walks, hiking, photography, that sort of thing. During the school year (throughout high school, at least), I didn't have a TON of free time, but I was involved in music (albeit I did not make a huge commitment to practicing my instrument tongue.gif) and I was a mathlete (adding to the nerdy personal image, I know nerd.gif).

All that being said, I'm guilty of spending a fair amount of time online myself (*shakes head and glares at post count*). Throughout the back half of junior year in particular, I hung around VTM a LOT-- definitely an hour to two hours a day on weekdays, and even more on weekends. I've been trying to break the checking emails fifty times a day habit lately, but personally, I think that if you're going to spend your time on the Internet, a fan site for a book is a great place to be. Don't get too sucked into MySpace and those blog-type thingies though... I've never been a member of one of those sites myself, but some of my friends have gotten verrrrrry obsessed. ph34r.gif
Fall_out_Girl
Thanks for the advice, Allie! By the way, my name's hannah smile.gif . I've tried to go to this college program thingy for kids during the summer, but hehe i signed up late and there weren't many courses left that i wanted to take, so yeah.

Don't worry those plans were certainly not cheezy. i'm not a sucker for history, but it would be cool to go to an art mueseum or something.

I spend at least half an hour here on VTM, so i guess that's an improvement to my free-time schedule...and it's a pretty great site here. I spend like an hour on MySpace...haha yay, i cut down my time on myspace! i used to spend like three hours on there, so now this is an improvement because it is very addicting. and now i spend half an hour or so playing some card games, like hearts or solitare on my laptop, so i am not so bored and i don't go on the internet as often. so yeah. smile.gif

Hi Hannah smile.gif
Well in my spare time I find myself pretty leveled out. I do spend time on the computer and internet though some of that is a neccisity. Years ago I got my degree in Computer Science but have started back to school. I was bored a year ago and decided to take in a lecture on Forensic Science. I found myself truly fascinated in the subject and after several inquries decided to take the classes needed to take a career in that field. So in your spare time if you get out and do some things even just something minor...i.e. taking in a lecture you never know what doors they will open.
This isn't to say that I still don't use my computer science knowledge. As a hobby I help maintain and run a Sci-Fi community chat though of course I can't give that URL here wink.gif . I also read just about anything I can get my hands on. I try and stay away from the TV with the exception of mabye 3 or 4 good shows. I think that Allie is absolutely right and am the same way. I like to do things that engage my mind. With your mind always engaged in something you can rarely be bored smile.gif
Titania
Well, I use to be REALLY obsessed with HP forums for like 6 months & I would spend all my time there, but recently, I've broken the habit. [And thank God for it! tongue.gif] It really took over my life for a while there, cos I tend to get ... 'obsessed'. happy.gif

Now that it's summer, I spend my time online, reading [hardly], and that's really it. But I'm trying to become more productive, if that's ever going to happen.

Ohhh yeah, I also eat tons of junk food, watch movies, and hang out with my friends sometimes. I'm currently volunteering at the library [but that's only once a week...], and I ride my bike alot.

I just joined a gym, so I hope to work out & get into shape this summer...
imtherealluna*
Because i just got a guitar, im begining to learn how to play. i can basically play this beginner song, and im getting really good (consindering that i got it 2 weeks ago). I should learn most of "Dance, dance" by my next class! biggrin.gif
Fall_out_Girl
oh wow, you get to play the guitar! i was thinking of taking guitar lessons, either that or bass lessons so that i don't feel so extremely bored. but i don't know how much guitars/basses cost and my mom has spent waaaayyyy too much money on me and my "lessons" that i wanted to take but have quited on most of them after 1 year. but i have sooo much time on my hands that some music lessons sound good, so i'm considering taking lessons like by the start of 2007...

......i spend a lot of my time on youtube, hehe i'm such a dork i actually made myself an account when i don't even need it. well i watch tons of fall out boy videos, i think i watched like 25 this week. and well yeah i am a computer freak
.
imtherealluna*
I used to be in "self-defese" classes, but i quit after 2 years. I used to play flute also, but i quit after 1 year. My guitar cost around $200, but that was with an amp, and everything (i know im cheap!). The basses were more expensive though. Learning is fun though...
ha, youtube! i love that spot. me and *pretty in punk* are aways emailing each other videos from there.
these are some.
Patrick Stump
Fall Out Boy selling their soul!
Pete and the giant Umbrella
emo is over.
Pete running into the wall.
yeah, those are only some of the things we email.... we have no real life....



Vivi
I get on the internet a lot, chat with people, visit different forums, just have fun you know. Also I like to watch TV, but only if there is something interesting on it. And video games! I just love to play video games in my spare time!
Fall_out_Girl
haha, imtherealluna* i watched those videos and they were hilarious. but the one with fall out boy selling their soul was freaky yet funny haha.
and Vivi, yup i also watch television but only if theres something good on.
i also type up poems and stuff like that up on the computer or write it down and i also do that with lyrics to songs. but they are cheezy so i practically never finish them either because they sound pathetic or desperate. and go around the internet searching for anything and everything to keep me entertained. like harry potter icons, fall out boy icons and information, things like that. and i made yet another account for myself on this place called friendsorenemies.com. cheezy i dont have any allies or rivals so hehe.

ok thats all i can think of i do for now! tongue.gif
imtherealluna*
heehee..... i recently got a friendsorenimies account also..... i added pete, patrick, and you on there. ive been there before, to see the "its better if you do" by panic! at the disco. pete is still the most hated dude. haha. lol.

vivi, tv is cool to watch... i like watching Fuse and IMF.... ohhh adult swim (on Cartoon network) is cool. love family guy, futurama (sp?), robot chicken, and Inuyasha.

once i was sooo bored i wrote "i love fall out boy" over and over, until i had written one whole page.... heehee, *pretty in punk* found the paper..... i think i scared her..... lol
~Luna/Crystal~
Fall_out_Girl
hehe yay! ive noticed you got one! yup i added pete and patrick also. pete's friend runs the website (im pretty sure) so they probably made him the most hated dude for fun, haha i laughed when i saw that!

oh i saw that video by P!ATD, but its better if you do, on youtube, while browsing through there for random videos. id say it was pretty good.

hehe, i have some sort of little booklet that i write in...i sometimes write in it when im bored, about all kinds of personal stuff. its not a diary though, it doesnt have a lock and anyone (who can find it tongue.gif, sh*t i hope my mom doesnt find it...ph34r.gif) can read it, yet no one knows i have it.

haha writing "i love fall out boy" on a whole page of paper? hehe you must have been really bored! sometimes i IM my friend (just one, shes the only one who IMs me anyways) and we talk for like half an hour...and then when i have nothing to say, she writes "i love pink floyd/led zeppelin/etc." and i write "i luv fall out boy" and then we have nothing else to say so we leave, haha.

and now i worry about school in my spare time...oh my gosh it starts monday july 17! i keep worrying that ill be late and get a detention on the first day and forget something or break the rules in some way or another and have to go to saturday school/summer school. i need to keep my mind of those things.

What Do I Do In My Spare Time? Well, ladies & gents, brace yourself, for you are about to enter dorkland. I am quite the boring person. In my spare time I write. I write all the time. My dad says I spend too much time with my notebook. (it kind of hurt when he said it) I like writing poetry, narrative works, short stories, books, I'm trying to create a comic, but I've never really read them, so thats being difficult with me. But I also like to read. I've posted on a lot of other threads about what I like to read. Basically anything, includes shampoo bottles. smile.gif When I was little I was such a book worm. I kind of still am, but I'm really into reading about morticians and funeral directors, thier line of work, etc. I listen to music too much for it to be legal. Actually Im listening to music right now, its sort of a sickness tongue.gif I just recently bought a keyboard, some $10 toy, but me being the wicked kid I am, I was so excited over it. It's pretty nifty. I dont watch a whole bunch of TV, but when I do its Rescue Me (FX) or Gilmore Girls (abc family, WB) and Its Always Sunny In Philadelpihia (FX) So basically I'm normal...I dont do anything out of the ordinary. I barely leave my house...I'm boring and my hobbies are boring.

Aethonon
Phoenix_Song you are NOT boring! What is it with parents, that they get all worked up over stupid stuff? My mom used to tell me she wished I'd go out and party and get drunk like a normal teenager--she knew how to deal with that! She didn't know how to deal with an introspective, bedroom-lovin' teen like me! lol But I turned out OK.

What do I do?

Write my fanfics, speaking of which, I really need to do my last chapter!

Research for the new quiz I may have in the Lounge soon! (fingers crossed!)

Play a really old computer game called 1602 A.D. where you settle a virgin land and create a civilization. I think I created about 200 civilizations by now.

Watch movies

Do needlepoint

Discover strange and exotic music (ever hear ancient Greek music? It's BIZARRE!)

Bum around on VTM

Read stuff, lots of stuff

Hang around with my kid and then we crack each other up (we're straaaange!)

Go to restaurants with my friend Laura and check out the waiter's backsides... biggrin.gif

That's about it.

Narcissa, you actually dream about Draco? I only have once and I write about him all the time. smile.gif
K.Lupin_werewolf

I love writing music! My minor is Music Theory and Compisition, and writing, singing, or playing helps me get unstressed. I sing opera, and have ever since i was like 2. I taught myself how to play piano when i was 13, and i love writing music to play on it.

I also like to compete in pageants, and my talent for the talent part of the compitition is singing. Last year my song was "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera, and i sang along to an instrumental. This year it will be "No Good Deed" From Wicked, and i want to learn to how to play it on the piano and sing at the same time

I can play "Broken" by Seether ft. Amy Lee, and sing at the same time, but it is a relativly easy song to play, so i hope i can learn teh No Good Deed Song
kelli
I love to read! I read the whole HP series in two days! I also love to play soccer in the front yard with my little brother and at the soccer field with my team! I love to play basketball for my school and hang out with friends! I like to watch movies and spend the night at my friend's house. I love to go on the computer to Veritaserum biggrin.gif
