Talking

watch tv. When I'm at school, I am on a computer the whole time. When I work I'm on a computer the whole time. I would like a vacation. (an organic one)

Going to the kitchen to grab a snack since sitting in front of the PC makes me real hungry.

My bed is also 3 feet away from the PC.

Also play with my dog sometimes.

I push my chair away from my desk and walk around it 10 times then sit back down and check the posts

Hey Doobie & nuclear, when you guys buy parts do you actually do that 'outside-thing' I've heard about ?

I play racquetball -- these days, I need to hit things -- alot. A little rubber ball, four walls and my opponent -- plenty of things to hit.

Used to play with a friend of mine at the Y often, but haven't recently, it's really a fun game. Hope to pick up on it again in college if I have some spare time.

Me, I go play the pump organ or my marimba, go bike riding, go over to a friend's house, relax out on the porch, tidy up my room, take a walk in the woods, go to work, go to school, or stare out into space and think about something, or just find something else to do.
