What do you do in your FREE time? - Read description before answering.?

I usually only ask this question to people I know very well because I must always be ready to answer back, but since we have Y! I can ask the public. First off, I'm not looking for your regular responses like I play soccer, I go out with my friends, I do homework. I want to know what you do when you have absolutely nothing to do outside of your house, or with your friends or family. During your waking hours of course. I will give a description of me to help you better understand the question. The first part of this is the opposite of the response I'm looking for. I am in college, I have a job working part time on weekends, I hang out with friends around town as much as possible, I spend a couple hours a day doing homework, not everyday though. Correct response- But when I don't have any plans to go out with friends, or homework to do, or anything else I could be at, I play video games, like World of Warcraft, or FPS games, until I have to be somewhere or I get tired etc. So basically I guess I'm asking what do you do in your life that is secondary and you only do it when you have absolutely nothing else left to do and will drop it if anything else were to come up. Response examples- Play video games, read, lay down and ponder the meaning of life, exercise, watch tv, surf the web(be specific-youtube, porn,news, etc), stare at the wall, communicate via texting, phone, im, etc until you find something to do. The responses you can add are limitless, I just want to get a good feel on what other people do with their lives in their "secondary" free time. Thank you :) I wanted to add one more thing. This can be a very personaly question but remember this is the internet! Your identity is hidden so please, be honest.

1. Okay....you dont have to be soo demanding... here goes.....if I having nothing else to do, I write poems about Life, play Monopoly, whip up some crazy new recipe, count the clouds, play Tarot with lil sis, forge signatures of businessmen, listen to cheesy pop songs
2. Recently, I find I do my email and check on a couple of web groups, then I go to Yahoo! Answers and try to raise my points total and reputation.
3. I read books. You dont care what kind do you? It may be the internet but that doesnt mean you can not gather personal data, even here. Your study is already skewed because you predict and dictate response.
4. TV. I really hate watching television, but I can't count the number of days I've been sitting in front of the TV thinking, "God, I am so bored, and I wish I could think of something better to do." That, or Yahoo Answers ;)
5. The most worthless thing I ever do is Y/A. If I have spare time I usually hike in the woods, ride the motorcycle, go visit my mother, or read a good non fiction book. I do not use TV, ever. I never play video games. How is that for a contrast from your lifestyle. :) Have a great day.
6. I think about life and its questions... I also sketch and write poetry. And listen to Paramore on my ipod.
7. well, i used to watch foxel (au pay tv) but we had cancel as it cost too much. now if i have a bit of free time i'm probably on the internet or reading a book. if i'm in the mood i might bake something, biscuits or a cake.
8. Free Time is a relative term (what is "free" time to you may be "work" time for another person. Following your "instructions" I will list what is important to me to do in my "free" time. Practice my musical skills for about 1 hr. Read about what is going on in the world (via BBC News and Drudge Report). Take my two dogs for a walk in the park Read from my selection of philosophy and/or history books. Talk to relatives that live on the East Coast (Iam in California) Invite some friends to come and practice music and/or play a table game - Dominos - Chess - Cards. In the evenings if available watch documentary program on TV. That's it for my "free" time in a 24 hr. period.
9. i go cruise around on my scooter, or play bass, or write if i'm down, or read one of the many books i've started and never finished. but my favorite is *touching the sky* with my friends:)
10. I sit in front of my picture window, gaze at the two mountain ranges I can see in the distance and remember things from my childhood....like gardening with my grandmother, cooking with my aunt etc... They all have been dead for a long time but the memories I have of them are dear ones. These memories comfort me at times when nothing else feels like it will. I also quilt, embroidery or cook. I write as well. Most times my life is a quiet one.
11. I float on a raft in my pool and star at the sky, I pick shapes out of clouds, my mind travels to the past and brings back sad and happy memories and I relive them.
12. Why do you ask such questions of people you don't know and probably never will know? Harleigh Kyson Jr.
13. My alone time is NOT secondary.
