I usually have at least 3 browsers open.

I'm usually found readin 3 slash fanfics at the same while playing neopets or doing some idle online research.....and people wonder why I have such a bad attention span lol

 

[BurntFlowers]

Well, other boards hold a fair share, but blogging and reading blogs, as well as reading online fics occurs on a daily basis.

Doing work online doesn't count as killing time does online does it?!?!

 

[silverwhisper]

that depends on how competently you're doing your work, i've always felt. :>

I voted but not every option I wanted was there as I generally have 6 or 7 browser tabs open at a time.

I ticked online gaming as the closest to the actual pbem games that I take part in. I also read the news & science and education journals and chat.

Competent?!?!? I'm not sure what that means. Can you explain that to me?

Not all of my time-killers were represented in the poll options either. However, I did check the fifth item on the assumption that it's a familar activity expressed in a vaguely alien tongue.

No, but perhaps you could be her personal spell checker.

Ohhhh....and do you have anecdotal evidence to support the supposition that you are not my dictionary?!?!

 

[midwestyankee]

Would it be admissable evidence that you occasionally claim to be swinging said dictionary at the defendant with a certain amount of force, as if to maim or injure? And that if defendant were, in fact, your dictionary, such actions would be contradictory to the laws of physics and Rhode Island?

 

[Sarojaede]

No, but perhaps you could be her personal spell checker.

ahhh...damnit.

[sighs]

see, i knew i lost brain cells today; and it looks to be that i lost more than one of them.

Did you know what inhaling a coconut flake is painful?

I must learn to not nosh on trail mix while being "giddy-drunk" from the sheer absurdity of my day and reading these posts. It could damn well be a lethal combination.

Ahem:

one of these days i'm gonna tell the wrong friend something intended for a different friend and it's gonna get ugly.

Just sayin', ya know?

SJ: so, did you like or love the coconut flake?

MWY: heh...point taken, sir.

Virtual snarfs of coconut flakes are not good.

I'm fine.

You can go back to your standard regime of "what can I do to torment SJ today"?

i just happen to have a knack for it. :>
