[Survey]: What do you do ?

[eva2000]

Take no offence in me prying into your personal lives :) This post is just to get an idea of what all of us members do for a living or what occupies them most of the time when they are NOT online... i.e. primary school, high school, university, full time work, and stuff...

[Shade]

Well, i'm starting my first year of High School soon. I'm nervous....
And when I'm not on the web, i'm usually out with my friends. We just hang out. We occasionnally play D&D and Heavy Gear.
I play hockey in the fall and winter... Entering Bantaam this year.
Uuum...big gaming fan. Especially Dreamcast.
And there's anime too...

[Foryth]

Well i'll start school on wednesday (just trying to do some math i need for cegep(i assume its the equivalent of college) since i finished secondary school last year(assume it is the equivalent of high school)). I will also try to find a part time job(of wich the money will probably be spent on cable and anime stuff). In my free times, i like to play AD&D, video games(mainly rpg), watch anime(duh), draw(or at least try), party with my friends, and other activities that comes by the will of the moment.

[Yalind]

Well, I don´t really know what to do now...I´m 19 and I finished school this summer so now I all of a sudden have all this free time on my hands, I wonder what I´m going to do with all that time.. ^_^ Well, I guess I´m gonna go to the University at some point, but not yet anyway, first I´m gonna work some, while I try to figure out what I want to be "when I grow up"... :)
When I´m not online I usually do what most people here seem to do, hang out with friends, play videogames for hours and hours (mostly RPG), watch anime (and Sci-Fi!), draw, paint etc...

[Atomic]

when i'm not online, i'm either at school or on the computer playing games.

[Pen2]

Hmmm let's see. I'm currently in year 10 doing, maths, english, science, history, electronics and drama. I put in my subject selections for year 11 a few weeks ago, and i'll tell you what they were once they get confirmed. Most of my spare time is spent either reading, idly drawing, surfing on the net, or playing computer games. At last count, i'm running three websites, none of which have quite reached completion (although Anime Nexus and the RPG page will get there eventually) I used to do Karate, but quit a year or two ago because, quite frankly, it was watered down bollocks. I currently hold a green belt. Yay me. I'm looking for a decent Kendo class in my area though......


Oh and i'm cynical and enjoy online RPG's, but those two you could have guessed ^_^

[asuka_131]

Green belt hey ^
I'm on a green belt too. but i quit karate quite a long time ago, must be at least 3 yrs ago now.

Well i go to tafe, and work part-time, so the only time i really get to go on the net is weeknights (when no one's on the phone) and on my breaks at tafe. Weekend - I work all weekend (day) and go out at night.

[Tamachan]

Well, at the moment I'm on holiday from the job for which I studied for 6 years at Uni.
However...since I'm on holiday from that job, it means I'm in Hong Kong, doing my other job and restocking the anime store...
No rest for the wicked :P
Just bought a coolies Eva music box tho, which I'm rather pleased about. I'll probably end up keeping it *sigh*
Three guesses which job I prefer :P

[ryezen]

me? my offline hrs are spent at school - im a 4th yr college student majoring in Human Resource Management. but if im home, i usually read books, do homework, play with my pet dog, do a little gardening, watch tv/anime, etc. during the weekend, its usually drinking session for me and my close friends - either at someones home or we go bar hopping and meeting women! :D

yes people, i may be here quite often but i do have a life outside the computer the only thing w/c makes me sit where i am right now is this board, im sooo addicted it makes my old smoking habit look pale in comparison :lol: hehe, do u know that i gave that habit up in favor of this board? :eek:

[Oni_chan]

I'm in my first year in an art university. It's pretty tiring. I also go to the gym and japanese class in my free time. Gosh, my life sounds so boring! :(

[Nairohe]

I'm on my first year of college and will be majoring Art or Information Technology. When i'm offline, i'm probably reading a book, drawing, maintaining three website... no actually i have no idea... some 8 maybe? I'm probably tinkering with something and create something with it somehow... Studying how to drive or probably hangging out with friends. I also want a job because i'm really bored and i want to do something on the rest of my spare time...

[penpen4]

another D&D player? awsome! got the 3rd edition players handbook yet? its much better than 2nd edition,e-mail me

[SSJfemme]

Well, I'm starting school on Sept. 6. This is my first year of highschool, I'm a little shaken, but not that much. Singing and acting are (I think) my fortes. I'm on the Wheatly School's Cross Country Team right now and I can't even believe I'm on the computer right now. Although I do love Tomb Raider, I have all the games except for The Lost Srtifact...I hope to get it soon. I usually have so much stuff to and all. Oh well, this is kinda coolness...anyways, I guess that's what I do.

[Ko Hakaisha]

Orooooo ...

I'm a freshman at high school [sniff] and play trumpet in the marching band. ^^ I take French, although I am ATTEMPTING to learn Japanese (two at once is kinda hard ... O.o). I am in the web mastering class at school (I help manage the school's homepage). I know html, some Java and Javascript, and Basic. I like math ... I like video games. I have an idiot for a dog (I love 'im anyway! ^^). That about covers it ... Oh, yeah. I like anime. ^^ There.

[fooj]

I sit around all day while watching the teletubies and eating potato chips.

[Shinjikarity]

I'm a student doing Commerce at the Uni of Western Australia, looking to move into a job that won't lead me to working like a robot all day and coming home to play computer all night. I wanna find something fun to do, that I can enjoy doing and get paid whilst doing it.

Ever notice how people are so willing to talk about themselves? It's the topic that they know best. :)

[Pen²]

well...i'm attending HIGH SCHOOL :)

he he he Gr. 10 this year...i do lots of extra curricular...kung fu...drawing...chinese school...swimming (bronze cross baby!!)...my schedules pretty much filled up...usually post on this board at nite...

[Shinjikarity]

Yeah, my mum used to make me go to chinese school. It was good fun, meeting all these asian kids like me. Shame I can't speak chinese well though. :)

[fireguy]

I work as a firefighter. When I am not at work I watch anime, read manga, get on the net, play the playstation, go for some short 5 - 8 km runs and go out occassionally. Pretty dull really.

[Ura]

I'm a Standard Uni Student, I've been bouncing from course to course trying to find the one thats right for me. I'm currently doing my Bachelor of Information Systems at RMIT in Melbourne, I need a part time job though to fuel my Anime Addiction, when I'm not online i'm usually watching my DVDs or playing some games.

[I'm not a doll]

What do I do well lets think I’m at school year 10 I do way too much work but my teachers say I don’t so I think they are rude.
I love my 64 :inlove:

I’m great at sport basketball is my best, but I think I'm the best in the world at tennis so that's what some of the other things I do when I am not on the land of the net.

to be honest when I'm not on the net most of my time is spent watching Eva

[Shinjikarity]

Get outta here fireguy!
There's nothing dull about playstation!
Not if you have the right games.

[Nairohe]

Yay!!! I'm no longer unemployed!!! So there, i'm the lady you call when you need help with your computer... but don't ask me anything right now coz i don't give a d... i dont know a thing ehehehhe... Oh joy!!! joy!!! joy!!!!!

[Atomic]

hi Ura

[heart havok]

when not online...

i am a screenwriter, i am currently working on my largest story yet, and EPIC. about a world inside my head... a FANTASY world inside my head.

let's see, mostly, i work. when not working, i like to draw... mostly my own characters. hmmm, i also LOVE to play video games... the only problem is, however, that i'm very pickey. i favour RPGs, however, to me, they aren't worth playing if they don't even stand up to the final fantasy series. see, when i get a new game, i put EVERYTHING to the side just so that i can ENTER the realm of that game; world, story, characters and all! i just recently finished CronoCross on the Playstation. EXCELENT game, disappearing into THAT world was entirely fascinating. however, i'm back in the "real world", therefore, i shall wait for FFix.

ummm, i have no more friends. they've all gotten "too cool" for me now, which is a shame. just because i don't like to go to partys and get drunk all the time. other frineds have left off to college, and others {unfortunately mostly the girls} have put me off so that they can spend time with their boyfriends who treat them badly. so... i have one person in my life, besides family, and that's my room mate. i haven't had a girlfriend for quite some time, but perhapse that's my fault. none-the-less, i continue with work and i find my eternal bliss in the realms of the many RPGs of squaresoft. take care, and thanks to those of you who took the time to read all of this. bye.

[Nairohe]

You remind me of my brother. Sometimes i think he was playing a video game before he got out of the womb...

checks the other room in the house*

You sure you're not my brother? I don't remember deporting you... ehehehhe....

[Shinjikarity]

Fantasy is the ultimate reality, which we all escape to at some time or another.

I think I heard that on friends.

[fireguy]

Yeah, their is nothing better than escaping from reality if it sucks, although your life is what you make of it :D

[Githon]

What do I do when I'm not online?
What is "not online"? I do not understand.

Honestly, I do NOTHING all day. All I do is sit here, post, and hit refresh :) Okay, well, it's not even as cool as that.

Hmm, well, I just turned 16 a month ago, got the Eva tapes for my birthday (By specific request :)). Uhh, have homeschooled since the 7th grade because I have this horrible thing called Sleep Delay Disorder which basically makes me sleep at all sorts of bizzare hours, effectively keeping me from doing anything with a schedule, such as real school. But, regardless, I graduated a few months ago (I got, uhh, California High School Proficiency Certificate. Whatever the hell that's supposed to mean), and am supposed to take some community college in like, a month (Although I have NO idea how I'm supposed to do that when I sleep during the day, then the night, then the day, etc :P).

But, basically, I do stuff online, watch TV, play videogames, occassionally harass my only friend in the world ;), and that's about it.

Everyone thinks it sounds so cool. I think it's like a 10 year old nearing the end of summer vacation. Bored as hell with nothing to do at all. Except it never freakin' ends!

Sucks for me :)

[X.E.R.O]

Well...

When I'm not online, I'm either be with my friends in Capoeira trainings at the beach(haven't pass my handstand yet:eek:...but I'm about to pass it) or search the ANIMEs which I wanted to buy and see. Not only that, I play video games(Damn Playstation is dead...:burnup:..) and other outdoor activities as well(extreme or non-extreme is my choice).

Exploring and discovering new things also suits my way of living.

I'm trying to find out the true meanings in each of our existence in the world. I'm fasinated with everyones' means of life. Therefore, I will search more more means in life.

Tell me, should I buy Dreamcast or Playstation because I'm in love with them...:inlove:

X.E.R.O out!!!

[fireguy]

I would say get a playstation

[Foryth]

Get a Playstation. But there are very good games on Dreamcast, so you might wanna check out the games before you choose a system, here's a good site i go to when i need some info, http://www.thegia.com
