ArchEnemy Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hey fellow PMers, Just wondering what do you guys usually do during your leisure time to relax? And when I mean relax, I literally mean "rest your mind". Volunteering at hospitals or any other forms of building your resume etc doesn't really count unless you're a real gunner and have no need for any forms of that (which in this case i shall salute you ) To start off, I drown myself with anime and mw2. Like 30 episodes a week at least and aim to get 2-5 AC130s or 1 nuke each weekend (for those of you who know what i mean) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellorie Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I watch a LOT of dumb TV. The stuff that doesn't require any higher brain function to follow. And I play on Neopets, though I've been sick of that lately. I hang out on another forum that has an active live chat. I read, sometimes I play video games. I hang with my cats.

Rebencer Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I watch TV with my wife (currently going through the Heroes series) or work on my car (1988 RX-7 with a 2001 heads/cam LS1 = ~450 hp), although I have been ditching the car work lately to get into better shape. I find myself with surprisingly little time to do anything, not sure where everyone finds their time. I guess if you live at home and your parents cook for you and do the housework you can pursue more individual interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asta Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I run, play video games, read... a couple times a year, I go on a TV binge where I watch a season or two of some show in a couple days. I like to knit as well, but I haven't had time for that for the past year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITS TIME TO D-D-D-D-Duel!!!!!!!! Speaking of which, has anyone watched the abridged series? Absolutely classic. I just binge on video games and long RPGs. Probably will do that for the rest of my life as leisure. That and piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I edited my post because I thought that someone might undermine the joke by asking if I jerked off to yu-gi-oh or something to the like lol.... im immature, i know. I'd laugh if that was actually funny. Sorry :/ I guess I'll go back to the drawing board. -Wile E. Coyote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or reading, playing piano, seeing friends, various sports. I go on knitting sprees... did so before Christmas, then again prior to my last surgery in March. I think I'm going to start playing my flute again, haven't played in over 10 years! Would love to take up piano again, but no piano on my 2nd floor place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehockeykid Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 most of you will probably think this is weird, regardless I will share it when I am in need of relaxation period or a break I like to sit in my closet in the dark I usually bring a pillow. why it works -convient -quiet -alone so i can collect my thoughts my alternative is excercise, however it takes too much time during exams (stress time) what doesn't work -sports (too competitive) -video games (too competitive) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoE Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Read read read. Game of Thrones series is SIIIICK. Also, moderately organized sports like university intramurals or city sports leagues help get the energy out when I get restless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
