-Where do you "Downs" (e.g. Home, school, workplace, nearest place with internet)?

Mostly at home, but I believe I've "Downsed" at a couple of coffee shops when I was either testing out new free(ish) wi-fi or my router went down. To be even more detailed, I started out Downsing on a desktop computer, but now exclusively Downs on my notebook computer.



-What sort of time do you "Downs" (morning, after work/school, evening, middle of the night)?
Any time I'm awake and on the computer for pure fun, which happens less often than you might think.

-Do you do anything else while "Downsing" (e.g. listen to music)?
I also have a bad case of internet ADD (iADD as it were.) I could be on Facebook, my two main email accounts, chatting on YIM with roleplay friends, and reading fanfiction. I listen to a internet radio station based in Ohio, except on Mondays and Fridays (because they play more....screamy stuff I'm not that into) when I listen to anything from Jimi Hendrix, to soft pop, to Flamenco music on Pandora.

-Any other relevant info.
I tend to haunt a thread a long time before I post to it. Posting after a 'cold read' is a rarity, but it does happen on days like today.

Downs culture has been an interest to me for several years now. It's probably why I haunt the Mirth and BarrowDowns forums more than anything else.
