Productive use of your time.

[Serpentine]

In what profound ways of limitless benefit to humanity do you spend your spare time or occasional opportunities?

I'm teaching my cat to "sit".:smallbiggrin:

[Icewalker]

...good luck with that. I'd say you are pretty doomed from the start.

I manage to do a pretty good job wasting most of my time, which is bad considering how much school work I have.

You mean your cat is teaching you to foresee when it's going to decide to sit of its own volition? :smalltongue:

[Ceska]

...good luck with that. I'd say you are pretty doomed from the start.
Not if the cat is young. There's cat circuses you know.


I manage to do a pretty good job wasting most of my time,
Same here. Although I'm writing on a paper about modern African history when I'm not.

[Serpentine]

No, he isn't young. But he doesn't get his dinner until he sits, and he's doing it quicker now than he was when I started.
So ner :smalltongue:

[Setra]

I've been researching various things.

Some just on wikipedia, some actually looking up in depth.

My hope is to go on Jeopardy one day.


Move the "o" one place to the left :smallwink:
Thanks :smalltongue:

Ah yes, that works well too. Although I think cats teaching other cats works better, at least it does for us.

[Lilly]

I mod these forums :smalltongue:
No you guys aren't a waste of my time...

[Charity]

Yes, I am.

I am entirely composed of productivity anti-matter.

[Castaras]

I go on these forums and do stuff!

I play random computer games!

Wait, productive? Oh. Never mind then. >.>

[Jack Squat]

I work at a grocery store...cleaned the dustmold off of the fans in the bakery. First time it's been done in a year and a half. :smalleek: not eating anything from there agian :smallyuk:

[Terumitsu]

...Sleeping. An 18 hour day does that to someone....

[topher]

Watch heroes and scrubs.
Play video games.
Go to the gym to counteract watching heroes and scrubs and playing video games.
Search online forums for intersting threads in which to post.
Post in said threads.

[Serpentine]

Heh, I was thinking more useless little projects that time occupiers... but oh well :smallbiggrin:

[Skippy]

I learn to play piano. Zelda, Final Fantasy and Beethoven.

[B-Man]

Productive, eh?

I guess Wii Sports is productive. I've just bought printer ink and paper, therefore I could probably find myself a job soon. Jobs are productive, yes?

[Exachix]

Yes, I am.

I am entirely composed of productivity anti-matter.

Oh shock not you too.

It sit around being Dark Matter stopping my Anti-Matter Buddies blowing up the world.

I'd say that's productive.

I do homework... I try to help people...

Hmm... not really productive.

[Cobra_Ikari]

...compose songs using the clicking of my headphone piece. >.>

I have no life. T_T

[The_Chilli_God]

Artseh Fartseh type of work's what I should be doing to pass my time in between bouts of hardcore studying which is also what I should be doing.

What do I do instead? Play whatever video game I'm currently addicted to, chat on these here forums, and occasionally go outside to practice Mau taiaha with probably more flair than it was intended for.

[Amotis]

ootshentai.

stressing out about how not productive im being to the point of not doing work.

being ironic.

baking cakes.

[Skippy]

ootshentai.

That is by far the most productive thing I've seen listed.

Maybe you can now solve V's mystery... :smallamused:

[CrazedGoblin]

answering my politics homework questions, oh what fun!:smallmad:

[Naleh]

Posting this.

[TRM]

I spend my free time wishing I had more free time.
Either that or lurking on these forums. Stop being so interesting:smallannoyed:

[Exeson]

Does just existing count? cause thats about all I do...and play rugby. But thats a mute point.

[SDF]

I just joined a bagpipe group in the city, I've been writing music with guitar... and I still try to practice my other instruments. I game (video, and I've been DMing a game of SW D20 for my friends... we switch systems and DMs every so often) Occasionally I will go out with my camera and take pictures, but rarely I'll find the time to develop them. I'm trying to learn a few languages, and I've hardly even found time to start my NaNo story, but I want to make it into an actual book so I'll just take my time. The rest of the time I'm either in class or working in the biochemistry research lab. (I think I get all my eating and sleeping done there) Oh, and I have friends too.

Sometimes I come here.

[The_Chilli_God]

But thats a mute point. You're certainly not being very quiet about it, though. :smalltongue:
(Couldn't resist)

[Mordan]

I code, play, build and implement on various MUD and MUDding communities around the internet, as well as creating my own MUD. I drink a lot of Pepsi (it saves others from drinking it, which is good). I also research and post trivia questions. Believe it or not, writing 10 original trivia questions and researching the answers 5 days a week is a lot of work.

[Exeson]

Hey-No fair! Don't blame me! Blame English and its stupid sayings that make no sense! :P

perfect way to shift the blame Exeson, perfect, and very smoothly done....*shifty eyes*

[smellie_hippie]

Heh, I was thinking more useless little projects that time occupiers... but oh well :smallbiggrin:

Continue to practice guitar and teach my son to play.

Woodburning carved walking sticks.

Learning to help my wife make shiney jewelry.

[Serpentine]

...compose songs using the clicking of my headphone piece. >.>
That's the stuff! :smallbiggrin:

Hey-No fair! Don't blame me! Blame English and its stupid sayings that make no sense! :P
*psssssst* The term's actually "moot", not "mute":smallwink:

[Sir_Norbert]

I've started writing a webcomic, which is pretty ironic considering that I can't draw :)

[potatocubed]

I play video games. Play roleplaying games. Read. Write. Surf the internet looking for things man was not meant to know. Occasionally I socialise, but that's pretty rare.

Twirling a stick with a feather on the end? Sounds flowery enough anyway:smalltongue: . I just hack at bamboo with a wooden sword, gets me to the same place, nowhere. When I'm not twirling a sword though, I act, and use what little spare time I use productively to prepare for my theatre company. I also play the guitar, and write comedy and parody songs whenever I can.

[The_Chilli_God]

Twirling a stick with a feather on the end? Sounds flowery enough anyway:smalltongue: . Try saying that when I gut ya with the greenstone on top of the feather that you were too busy looking at.

...:smallredface:
Okay, it isn't really mau taiaha. More like... Something that I made up in the backyard because of a decade-long obsession with sticks and pipes of all different sorts of materials, and because it's the only physical exercise I am actually willing to perform, and I just pretend that it's an actual martial art because it helps validate the practice itself.

There, happy? *Hiss*

[Icewalker]

In the last short period of time I've started a new phase in my life. One I hope to continue for many many years.

I am always going to be taking something up. I just started fencing, but that wasn't really why. I am going to slowly but possibly learn parkour.

I learned to solve a rubik's cube last year. In under 2 minutes. (to solve. Took an hour or two to learn :smallwink: )

I am now learning card tricks.

On the list for the future: coin tricks? Juggling. Plans to create weapons involving large amounts of anti-matter and extreme acceleration to release enough energy to destroy the planet (actually kinda true :smalleek: )
