What do you do in your spare time?

[ashitaria]

Ok, so I searched and I searched and I didn't find and thread like this so here goes: (deep breath)


What do you guys do in your spare time?

Now, everything from here on out should be self-explanatory. And I promise to refrain from any debate of any sort (despite my love of it).

 

[tashi]

Read. Play solitaire on my i-pod. Draw. Play the piano or violin. Sleep. Eat. That's pretty much it, I have a really boring life outside of school.

 

[asmit127]

I often wonder where my spare time goes, the only answer can be that I do nothing. I listen to music, browse the internet without learning anything, read books on opinions and occasionally go on a long aimless walk. That is my life in one short sentence. I dispair at those talking about anything unreal, be it TV, movies, anime or video games as they are at best a waste of time and at worst an attempt to manipulate one's worldview. You have to question who's pulling the strings, and to what end...

 

[s0nystyle]

- DotA
- Anime ( i watch new seasons as they come out)
- movies
- Facebook chat
- intpforum
- Study
- PS3 time
- discover new restaurants

pretty much accounts for everything i do :/

 

[Mary]

Art, listening to music, beating my brother up mentally when he is rude and annoying, eating, sleeping, doing weird things with my friends (does going to the puppet show and writing puppet shows on the watchful eye of a crazed sex-obsessed woman while talking about dragons qualify as weird?), reading, writing poetry, daydreaming, learning about random math/science stuff, listening to constitutional lawyers give speeches, playing video games (rarely, but it happens), studying psychiatry, taking pictures, photoshopping pictures, disturbing people, making new FWIENDS, coming here and wasting time , forgeting about homework, not studying, and plenty of other random stuff.
Sorry if there are any repeats!

 

[ashitaria]

Hm...
I

-read any new shit that goes up on wikipedia.
-listen to music and dream up anime ops.
-make up scenes of a novel that I'm working on.
-debate on INTPforum
-browse the Internet about topics that interest me and do nothing.
-read books
-pretty much everything else that has been specified

 

[Cavallier]

Do you want day to day time waster stuff or do you want stuff I do weekly/monthly?

Read
Write
Interwebs + INTPf
Cook new recipes
Dream up new recipes
Walk around town
Hike new trails I find
Bike when it's not raining and cold
Make stuff out of Sculpey
Videogames (Mass Effect 2 FTW!)
Take pictures of weird stuff I find
Drink
Garden
Crossword Puzzles
Go to the movie theater
Play with the kitties

I would say listen to music but I do this while doing the other things.

 

[Anchorite]

Read Wikipedia
Watch the Science Channel
draw
listen to music
Watch Youtube videos of all types
sit in silence and think

I would say that's about all.

 

[Crazythinker1]

When I have spare time I like to:

Read.
Write.
Take long aimless walks through the woods with my dog.
Go fishing.
Photography.
Sleep.
Puff my favorite briar.
Wander around on the Internet.
Wander around on Wikipedia.
Think.
Work on motors.
Build stuff.

 

[Kuu]

What do you mean in my "spare" time? As opposed to what, "productive" time? I don't think I understand

 

[Mello]

Masturbate, obviously.

 

[s0nystyle]

Masturbate, obviously.

i joined the "no more masturbation" club back in HS. I'm done with it

 

[Mello]

You're insane.

 

[Words]

Listen to my mother talk about how brilliant it is to follow the norms. She is always there in my spare time. On second though, I don't have a spare time. What is "spare"? Everything is practical.

 

[s0nystyle]

You're insane.

we figured it was bad for our health and at the time only 1 of us didnt have a GF, so it was THAT big of a deal

[citrusbreath95]

T.V., read, INTP forum, internet (in general), solitary walks, EAT (This is the first time I've used that smiley I do believe), practice (cough, cough) the violin, sleep, think, daydream of the future, stargaze (but can I actually name any of the stars?)
Yeah, the majority of my days would make a 90 year old bored (not that 90 year olds are boring
Although, I do have those occasional days when I get some refreshing burst of energy, in which I get a lot accomplished. This doesn't include things needed to be accomplised.

 

[RubberDucky451]

- Dissecting jazz music
- Listening or watching philosophy lectures
- Playing my ukulele or piano
- Origami. (I've found it to be incredibly useful. I can almost always find paper, and therefore I always have something to do).
- Solve problems!


On a side note:

Hmmm, Mary was the only one who mentioned doing things with "friends".

Depressing...

That philosophy lectures thing was very very thought provoking.

 

[Mike72]

I mainly play games, read something on the net, or watch movies I get through utorrent... (Watched Ghost whisperer S 1-4, with a little of season 5, same with lost and am currently watching the 2nd season of bones...) Otherwise I enjoy playing with cats and dogs that my fammily has, going for walks in nature, or just talking with people about stuff... Basicaly, everything else than what I should be doing...

 

[Red Devil]

Read, listen to music, just sit still and think, sketch, paint, write, sulk, play computer games, internet and finally sleep when I'm bored of doing everything mentioned before.

Most of my friends are INxx

We have interesting times together.
And just to shake things up, I'm friends with a random ESFJ.
She gets frustrated sometimes.

I love telling jokes that other people don't get.

"What do you call a room full of lawyers?"

"An assembly of well trained legal professionals"

Me and my INFP friend lol'd at this, My ESFJ friend didn't.
