What exactly do you do during your free time?

Post by Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi »

Also, how much of it do you have a day? For me, I usually have 7 hours on Mondays and Thursdays (from when I get back from school to when I go to sleep), 5 on Tuesdays, 4 on Fridays, and a lot over the weekend. During tihs time, I spend an hour or two posting here, play video games, pace around the house, and perhaps practice piano.

Not including time that I'm catching up on my sleep and time that I'm spending out of home, I have around 4-5 hours of free time in which I post here, read useless stuff, and maybe play a computer game usually something slower paced like Civ 3 or a FPS.

It varies. While I'm not deployed somewhere or in the field, I generally go to PT at 0600. From then on, I'm generally involved at work until around 5pm. When I get home, I'll have dinner and jump on here to see what you folks are up to. After my wife gets irritated enough that I'm on here too much, I'll join her for watching TV or some other activity. Usually have weekends off, in which case I sleep late and do some house work. If the weather's nice, I'll ride my Harley around. Go to church on Sunday morning, go home and rest, and then prepare for work on Monday.

I mean I don't like playing something that requires you to think fast and look back and forth like a RTS because I'm usually tired from a long day. I try to play RTS on weekends or something.

I spend way too much time on the computer. Since I was laid off in October Ive had huge amount of free time. Too much in fact.

I play games to. In December it was Geneforge. I January it has been Civ 3.
Of course I hang out here too.

I would be skiing more, if I had someone to go with.

In all honesty I probably have 12-15 hours a day of free time, not including sleeping. :P

--edit

I forgot to put down that I also listen to talk radio on KGO 810 AM whenever I can.

When I'm not working or spending time with the girlfriend or the guys, I usually write. I got sizable story going on right now, so I'm trying to make some serious progress in it before winter recess is over.

Play with my son, post here, play computer games, go travelling with my family, read, fiddle on the computer (working on a cheesy website), go to church, visit friends, take some photos, etc...

Just like any other person.

I hang out and do work and mess around like everyone else.

And I masturbate if I don't have a girlfriend...like just recently now. :cry:

I've got quite a bit of free time generally, so I usually perform the following activities:

1. Spank the monkey.
2. Choke the chicken.
3. Beat my meat.
4. Whack off.
5. Jack off.
6. Hell, even jerk off from time to time.
7. Masturbate.
8. Touch myself.
9. And yes, even

I read a lot, sometimes even textbooks (I like ethical theory). Play computer games (current poisons: Counterstrike and Master of Orion II). Play PS2 (Gran Turismo 3 and Tekken 4). Post here. Work on my sci-fi universe every now and then (I can only write when I'm depressed).

I don't have much spare time, though. I work at the campus Counseling Center, work with Habitat for Humanity, am a member of the philosophy club and Phi Sigma Tau (national philosophy honorary), am secretary of both of those and the House of Representatives of the Student Government Association, and am a Orientation Leader and Southern Ambassador (guide prospective/accepted students around campus).

Due to the fact that I won't be starting at my new college till mid April and that I only have one Part time job right now ranging from 15-20hrs per week, I have quite a bit of free time.

I play games, both on X-Box or the Computer. I surf the web, read books, and magazines, I occasionally hangout with the few friends that I have, browse and post on a couple forums, SD.net and Spacebattles mostly. Oh yeah, and since I don't have a Girlfriend I'm forced to whack off to porn and hentai instead of having real sex. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it is somewhat annoying to be a virgin at 20....

I get at least 7 hours a day.

In my free time I watch movies, work on my comic strip, smack down fundies, post here, and think up ways to pick up chicks.

I spend my free time playing nice games like Civ3, reading as much books as I can grab, writing, watching TV, going out with friends...
Though most of free time disappears in the black hole known as "university"...

Ummm..

Post here.

Drink.

Sometimes both at once, as I'm sure you've noticed.

Watch Buffy/Angel.

Otherwise, I have no free time thanks to my degree/women's officer stuff/designing a webpage for a new evolution reserach society.

Well, whatta say? Clubbing, raving, dating, & drinking. And using polydrugs sometimes. But I also play computer games and browsing the net, and while my girlfriend's not around, masturbating.
