ok, so im online, its 2am, and i got home from a 21st. ive had a little to drink (enough to make me tired but not enough to addle my brain), and im plenty bored. so what do i do? i dig on TE for old topics that were interesting, read them, and wonder whether its worth necro-posting.
so, the point of this thread, other than stating the grand fact that at the current moment i am bored and have been reading through the TE archives, is to ask whether you do the same.
so, out with it. what do you do on the internet if youre bored, and does it involve TE? _________________

Sometimes I'll come here, sometimes I'll read the TV tropes page. It's amazing how much time you can spend there (I usually start with the main page, then have about 8 tabs open within about 10 minutes).
And sometimes I'll just listen to music instead. _________________

Well, I can't remember the last time I had a bored moment. My day usually consists of forum posting, chatting, watching vids and artists streams, drawing or writing music. _________________

When I'm on my laptop, my homepage is the forums. Of course, when I've already got Firefox open, it's always the first tab open. But when I'm bored and online, yeah, I come here and hit F5 a few times to see if there's anything new.
Normal internetting consists of: checking TE, checking livejournal, roleplaying, writing, and doing other stuff for the forums (TE History stuff, TE DnD, stuff like that) and of course writing up what I'm doing with my visual novel based on here.
There's always music involved. I can't not listen to music. I have to have background noise or else I feel weird. _________________

Facebook, mostly. You can spend hours on that thing.
I like coming here to TE to post in topics and find interesting things to comment on, too. =D _________________ Whenever there's light, there are shadows.

Internet Boredom Flowchart:
FaceBook>1up.com>TerraEarth Forums>eMail>MySpace>YouTube>Halolz>VGCats>allancomic.com>rockpapercynic.com>Newgrounds>Ill Will Press
Sometimes, if there's nothing new on any of those sites, I'll troll Wikipedia and read random shite. _________________

I sometimes come here when I'm killing time, but usually I'll be at one of the following sites instead....:
Palcomix
WWOECforum
DevianTART
Wikipedia
TVTropes (yep, those last two I just spend hours wiki-walking and reading random crap! )
Or I download some TV show/film and watch it; right now, I'm watching the complete run of Avatar: Last Airbender (just started last Wed and I'm up to the season 2 opener already) _________________
