Personally, on weekends i wake up around 10.00 go to bed around 3.30 in the morning, if i'm not going anywhere i spend near all of that on my intarwebs. Weekdays, i'm on my computer from when i get home (4.30'ish) 'til when i go to bed (11.30'ish)

I'm online for hours usually; when I get home from school (usually something like 6pm) I get online and I don't get off till I go to bed... which usually is somewhere between 3 - 5 am now. While I'm online, I visit these forums, check the news, check for videogame news on other sites, talk to people in the OC chat (oekakicentral.com) and talk to my boyfriend through AIM.
And I work for school at the same time, cause multitasking is fun.

Music listening + downloading
Browsing + other sites

...and soon, AOEIII :hehe:

Oh and i'd say on a school day I'm on roughly 3 hours a night, and weekends about 4/5 in total throughout the day/night.
I usually just leave my msn and xfire on though.

Days when I have college could be 9-10 hours. Though sometimes I will have breaks where I practice on the drums.

Weekends and holidays can be whatever tme I get up until whenever I go bed.

Depends on what day of the week it is really.

But usually spend a few hrs on the net after I get in from college or work, then go out for the evening, and then about an hr or so before I go to bed.

But usually my laptop stays on all day, so I really can't put it into the amount of time I spend on the net because we all use always on connections nowdays.

15-11-2005, 08:07 PM
If I'm home, I'm rarely not online. I guess that's some kinda indication.

With regards to what I do?

Chat, do my "site crawl" every few hours to check for updates and new news. Most of our favourites are on there. I'll also be doing Woosel stuff, masturbating to dog porn and posting on here. That's just a smidgeon of my adventures on the Interwebs.

15-11-2005, 08:57 PM
Too many hours really. I wouldnt mind cutting down, but i cant say much else interests me...

I probablys spend around 3 hours on a schoolnight. Depends if good TV or homework is on the cards. At the weekend, i spend a lot of the day on the net or at the PC - mainly through having nothing else to do. I should really spend more time on my college work :/

ViPeR
15-11-2005, 09:28 PM
Depends on the day of the week. On average it's probably 2-3 hours a day. Usually spent on MSN, RE, Ebay, ordering CDs/DVDs/Games I really can't afford, looking at random shit.

Shenlong
16-11-2005, 12:04 PM
I usually leave my pc on too and appear offline on msn, i don't really say seated and stuff when on the pc i'm hardly ever here - when i am though it's cos i'm watching something or found someone i want to talk to. Peak hours of internet activity for me is after 10 usually but on days like today, or thursdays and friday's i often don't go on at all cos of social activities, Lost, or just getting drunk and stuff. But either way the pc is on for an audacious amount of time.

I spend almost all of my time online, if I'm not online, there's a good chance I'm asleep, out buying food, or rarely: something else.

No, I don't work, no I don't go to school or college, I am not kidding, most of my time is spent online.

Too much, but two hours absolute minimum each day.

When I get up in the morning I quickly go through the sites I check everyday (BBC News, Ain't It Cool, Mess.be, MuggleNet), then I search for news for RE. After posting it depending how much thats usually about two hours.

After about that long, depending what else I'm doing that day I may be on talking to people/arranging stuff on msn for a while. If I have absolutely nothing to do or planned, I can quite happily find things to look at all day. Good old 4chan :)

I'm also on every night chilling and I have a diary I like to keep my thoughts organised in which gets updated religiously every night.

I don't know how people can spend so much time on the Internet. Do you not have lives? I work during the day, get drunk at night, and spend an hour or so on the Internet in between (ie. now).

I used to spend about 6-10 hours per day at the PC (and 14 hours on one occasion). But all I do these days is lurk on forums, IRC, and read news articles, so I'm only at the PC for about 3 hours. I also discovered a thing called a pub. And realised that I'm 18. Enough said.

I know, it's tough being a student. Oh, and if that was an attempt at sarcasm, getting drunk is infinitely cooler than spending 8 hours+ per day on the internet, I can assure you of that.

lets see, i spend from approx 1-2 hrs on mon and tue, 2-3 thurs, 2-8 hrs on wed and fri sat and sun 2-7 hrs, unless ive got college work to do or something better to do, which does happen, just not very often. so over all approximatley 12-36, no wait i must be adding it up wrong, besides these are just gestimates that seem to change on my mood, also it should be taken into account that i used to use MSN a lot, but not anymore.

binge drinking perhaps, and then only when it goes too far.

Sitting alone behind a computer however is the definition of anti-social, so i think fieldsofanfieldroad has a point.

Ah yes, but I go out alot with mates. I also don't drink, they do. However we all have a good time.

What annoys me is when a drunken dude stumbles up to one of my mates and babbles incoherently for her number. Then she refuses and he gets aggresive.

Now this is all well and good, however there seems to be abit of a pattern; and that a large percentage of drinking that does occur on the town is indeed binge drinking.

I don't drink. So i can't uinderstand drunk people. They seem to have their own language. And apparently they own telephones. I think that for some poeple, getting drunk occaisionally is better than sitting in front of world of warcraft for 23 hours a day.
