Picture, if you will, a day. Reasonably pleasant weather, no specific responsibilities to take care of--no school, no work.

What do you do on such a day?




I, for instance, spend a probably unhealthy amount of time looking at my computer screens. Split between playing games of various sorts, browsing reddit, and checking Trisphee. Often multiple at once because I have multiple computers...

Sometimes I go outside and such...but not very often.

[Glitch]

i'm either at home doing art stuffs or at home playing league XD

Sometimes we go out . . . but that is expensive.

[Coda]

I'm one of those rare geeks who will partake in physical activity -- I play Amtgard, a medieval-fantasy live-action RPG. (I hesitate to say "LARP" because that implies playing characters, and most people don't really play a persona beyond the broadest of strokes.)

Beyond that... I play video games... and... um... actually, I tend to write code for fun, too. Busman's holiday, as it were.

Swinging foam-covered swords at one another? Fun times! :D

I like to sail on occasion, and I cosplay. Got a costume getting close to being done right now, in fact. Hopefully gonna wear it to Megacon this coming weekend.

[Glitch]

Oh I hope you share photos! :O

[Coda]

I make costumes too. Not so much "cosplay" for the most part although there's a picture around here somewhere of the Wind Waker Link costume I made for my son. More recently I made a really nice tabard with the coat of arms I made up for my family as well as a beltpouch bearing the same heraldry. I'm going to put it on my son's shield too.

Usually changes up every few months.

Recently, I've been playing incrementals, delving into Undertale fanfics on AO3, and uh, working on writing my own. It's been quite the endeavor.

Quite the shameful endeavor.

I honestly don't know how people can do this nonsense. I'm posting here while procrastinating on chapter 3.

But whatever. That's what my life has been like for the last... 2 months, give or take.

[Tohopekaliga]

Shameful, huh? The kind of story you wouldn't want your mother to read? :P

[Coda]

Or is it the kind that only a mother could love?

[Gallagher]

Eventually, probably like that.

But I legitimately have issues letting people know when I enjoy any series/game at dork levels. My best friend has been slowly wearing me down over the last 5 years to help me realize that it's okay to love things.

So it's one of those things that I really want to talk to people about to get ideas and input, but I also don't want to admit I'm doing.

I think before this post only 3 people in my life knew I was attempting this. So. This is a big step for me I guess?

Mama wouldn't approve of the necrophilia.

[Demonskid]

Play on Flight Rising, Chat on here... Sing along to music in a very annoying squeaky voice to annoy neighbors.. dance in dk's way of dancing.. binge watch tv shows with mom... (columbo is our current binge)

Lately.. making youtube videos.. (right now just Guides for FR newbies)

Oh and playing PAD >w>,

[Gaius]

I waste nearly all my free time on the internet or out drinking with friends, although very infrequently I experience spurts of inspiration to do something creative, usually writing but sometimes drawing or photography. I wish I felt creative more often, but work drains too much of my mental energy, and by the weekend I just want to do the most mindless things possible.

[SparX]

no specific responsibilities to take care of--

That line right there is something I can only dream of right now XD
Even with time off I still have the house to clean and SHOULD get to up-keeping the property XD

However if I WERE to have such a thing, I would have a difficult time also with dividing time up between my hobbies. Generally I will sit online while watching anime or gaming. If watching something I will also be pursuing something artsy wise, be it rave bras, MH dolls, regular doodles or working on my Hat Pin Art.

Coda, we have something similar over here down in kent, up in my county we have a saturday field (boffing)
I left a few years ago because it was either pervy guys or really young kids and in between both lots of drama and little to no actual play time. I even became a smith while I was there, my favorite sword was my imitation sword from Jet li's fearless, when he fights in his buddies resteraunt with the sword with rings in it. The only difference was for the pommel to be an appropriate size for eyeholes, I made into a blooming rose.
I also enjoyed making Naginatas and maces XD
We had someone give us their bow for the field when we left as a goodbye present too.

...carpentry-styled stuff usually. I am not sure if that is "I enjoy it" or "when I have free time, it goes to things like repair."

Listen to music and read. Panic slightly. Try to write and scrap it because I take it to seriously....

...I have many things I'd want to do...but you'd need to add "free from anxiety" to the list.

[Tohopekaliga]

I have a thousand things I want to do...but don't do them. So, I hear ya.


Anything in particular causing that panic? (That you want to talk about, of course)

[Lawtan]

Well, writing-wise, I don't think I can do certain things justice. I am afraid of devaluing others experiences, knowledge, or ideals.

The other is sort of a constant hypervigilance that wears me down...combined with always worrying about what I have to do next...combined with negative internal criticism making it difficult to, say, "take an hour or two to practice dance"
