[glow=purple,2,300]I mean, if you are reading this now, you obviously visit Serene Distraction, but what else do you like to do online and just how many hours do you spend on the internet, on a regular basis?[/glow]

I spend far too many hours online... BUT I chat, play triva, and card games, I listen to music, and... Well... That is about it.

[glow=black,2,300] Well, I visit SD....obvoiusly ;D .....and I often surf many other teen sites such as Kiwibox (though the box has really gone downhill since I joined). I read a bit of fan fiction and spend a fair amount of my time on fictionpress.com. I also listen to music (I love pure volume) and I am a myspace junkie....lol[/glow]

listen to music, read and write interesting e-mails, obviously i am a big fan of serene distraction, i used to spend time on kiwibox, but you're right absinthe, it sure has gone down hill... the joke section has had the same maternity joke on there for like a good 6 months now... ummm I play all sorts of games, chat with nessy and annie... and some other people every once in a while... and that pretty much sums it up..

visit Serene Distraction and the other poetry site I'm a member of Square Stars. I update my website sometimes and I download fonts. I don't like the internet much. I use Microsoft Word and Notepad all the time though.

Yeah, I visit SD, go to Kiwibox, check out news on excite.com, check out my site sometimes, play some games, sometimes play Jeopardy or something. Chat on MSN all the time, haha.

All I do now is check this site and MySpace for new information on my Kiwi friends because I am on a "no Kiwibox" run that I've been on since Monday. I miss my Kiwi friends and our postboard fun. Oh well ... there's too many lame things going on there. But every morning I get up and get on to check my Beat Goes On wishlist in case a CD I want has come in so I can order it ASAP. Then I check SD. Then I check my mail if there's time.
I don't really have much of a life ... I'm either on the computer, playing nintendo, listening to music/singing or watching TV. I'm a hermit and never go out ... I guess there's no point going out by myself although I do need to go to Wal Mart to pick up some things ...
too late tonight.

i don't get out much either. not that i'm not allowed to or anything it's just a)i don't have a way of going anywhere b)i don't really have anyone i'd like to hang with. and c) no TIME. i don't know what it is, but time for me seems to be so limited. i'm learning how to drive though.. so that may solve problem A heh. as for B and C eh, whatever. Online though... i usually go online, check my email, check in here, then i'm off doing graphic designs... i'm starting to think that GD is turning into an obssession.

I used to make icons all the time back in early 2005 but by April I was sick of them. Oh well. I need to get my license soon I did a week without Kiwibox but I'm back now and now my MySpace account is going back to nothing as it once was (I hate that site anyways)! Oh well

I keep journals on xanga and opendiary. I type short entries to my friends on xanga, and longer, deeper entries on opendiary where no one knows me.
I listen to music on myspace, and of course come here.
I also spend alot of time searching song lyrics... It's weird, because I know most of the songs I search already...

^me too about the song lyrics ... I always need to refer back to them but I can't think of them off the top of my head

I'm looking up lyrics right now actually. I love the sites that have the "related lyrics" at the bottom. I'll go from song to song, band to band...
It's fun...

lyrics are fun to read i admit. it's funny when i look up a song sometimes and i realize that i've been singing the words all wrong. i have to update my site, i added this cool welcome image thing because i finally figure out how to do a little animation using adobe imageready. ;D

I'm a msn messenger addict lol that and I spend a great deal of my time on forums. SD has to be the newest forum I'm on atm. I also occasionally update my livejournal. I seek inspiration for writing that I have to do for my Uni course (most of the time unsuccessfully) I beta my friends' writing, I beta classmates writing via our intranet & blackboard site, I also play on neopets. I don't have tv and my laptop is too basic to play any decent games so I play the games on neopets... it's a time filler especially on quiet evenings.

I download anime firstly and foremost. Probably a good 6 gigs of the stuff a month. If not Anime some other form of T.V or Video. I'm very into video camera and video editing work. So I check out this site YouTube, or Channel101 alot. I also post on forums, and chat on MSN or AIM. Or download roms. It's not that interesting really. XD

Well I'm on SD of course. I go onto facebook for at least an hour usually. I also play Howrse, a horse breeding game online, read fanfiction on fanfiction.net, check for new things on Amazon and their Kindle site to add to my wishlist, postsecret on sundays, I pop into live journal and myspace every so often. I guess thats about it.

Wow so much has changed since I started this thread! I admit, I kinda miss those summer days when I found myself wondering what I should do... nowadays it feels like my days are pre-planned and there's always something that needs to get done.
As far as what do I do online... Usually, I just check my email, take a quick glance at SD, facebook, myspace, then I read articles.

Yeah - even though I really don't have the time between work, school and everything else, I'm still an insomniac. So I spend a fair bit of time on the inter-web. I usually stop by SD (though I may not actually contribute much lately), Or I check out news, music, my facebook page and different blogs I follow. This past week, all I've really done is read 3 years worth of ShortPacked! comics. A friend sent me the link for the first strip and I just got sucked in. It's perfect for game/toy/transformers nerds. www.shortpacked.com/d/20050117.html*Be warned - some may find ShortPacked! slightly offensive at times, but if taken in the joking manner it is meant, it can be pretty darn funny too.

Yeah, a lot has changed. Now I just check all news and blogs through Google Reader. I'll check all my email accounts, the band's MySpace and Twitter, Page 2 on ESPN.com, Hot Clicks on SI.com. I Google my name a lot, just to make sure nobody's writing anything bad about me. Oh, and I've been watching a lot of movies lately, so I'll always check it out on IMDB afterward...

...and a year later, has my habits changed? =)
Nowadays whenever I'm online I go to facebook, check my email, ...and now, I'm putting in a serious effort into visiting SD again.
Come to think of it though I don't get online too much anymore, I'm usually on my Blackberry checking stuff.

I spend my time on-line these days on Twitter and Tumblr. I spend far too much time reading fanfiction, as well as various webcomics and some of my fave mainstream comics digitally at comixology.com. I also listen to Pandora a lot, or watch Netflix & Hulu+ (though I usually stream those through my xbox). I don't even really check e-mail or Facebook. I tend to do that from my iphone. And now, I am making an effort to be active here at SD again, of course.
