Free time? How wonderful! #1 (permalink) Mon Oct 30, 2006 19:13 pm   Free time? How wonderful!
 

One simple, usual question: What do you do in your free time?

I expect to see different interesting ways to spend your free time ...I guess there are plenty of things which give you pleasure, so mention some :)

(I think one thing we all have in common in the forum is our habit to spent hours and hours in front of the computer. :P But I don't want to become a computer- addict ! :oops:
As I am very busy at school (and so are my friends:) ) when I happen to have free time I prefer to sleep - it's not the most exciting way to spend your time, is it... :o
It's your turn now. :)

Hello, Alan!

Yes, you are definitely right. Why have you forgotten to write what you do in your free time? :)

PS I like cooking in my spare time - and then eating what I've cooked while watching TV - I'm a real couch potato as you can see :wink:

Hi Butterfly

I think Alan must like shopping in his free time. The fruits of his spare time actvities can be seen in his avatar: he's sporting a brand new green shirt. :mrgreen:

Amy

Edit:
Oops! I just noticed that new shirt now seems to have vanished. :shock:

Hello fellow-country(wo)man!
In my leisure time I usually study... or do some sports. A month ago I would answer differently, but under the given circumstances I am unable to play PC games. :cry:

P.S. Is the sentence in red correct?

I don't think many boys would choose the nick butterfly! (of course, I'm not sure it depends on the boy :) )

Do you really study in your leisure time? Is it indeed leisure time then ...? 8)

In my free time I like to read, listen to music and write. I mostly just lie on my bed and think...haha. I am a big Harry Potter freak (uuummm...yeah) and I spend hours reading fanfiction. I spend HOURS in front of my computer, on the Internet...poor thing, my computer. It can't have a minute rest.

Too much sleeping is really tedious, don't you think so?
When I sleep in my spare minutes (quite often indeed), I usually waste most of my free time, which is very dull in my opinion. hah :P

Butterfllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly!

really your question is very simple but is very hard too.

Ok..ok... let me take my turn

when I have free time I do many beautiful things.
but that depend on long time.

If be long I go to relax at the beach and I forget all my work, and I enjoy my free time.

but if be short :(

like my day off, I read some magazines or I play video games or watch on tv or go outdoor with my friends or family to shopping and eat some food in any restaurant in my town.

But I often sleep at my day off :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

regards,
Mba

:D Yes, this is one of the most terrific way to waste your time. I wish I could do the same but unfortunately there is no beach near here. 8) But we have mountains :wink: and I really enjoy myself while trekking. :wink:
