Where do you "Downs" (e.g. Home, school, workplace, nearest place with internet)?
Mostly from home. From the moment I can get on the computer, I'm on. The Barrow-Downs is always the first place I go. During the school year, I will go to the school library and Downs.

-What sort of time do you "Downs" (morning, after work/school, evening, middle of the night)?
Between 3.00 pm and 9.00 pm. That's when our computer lets me on. Often times I will go on my mum's. Any time I possibly can, I try to get on in the morning, because it's evening in Europe, and that's when the most Downers seem to be online.

-Do you do anything else while "Downsing" (e.g. listen to music)?
I usually have the Beatles playing in the background. Why? I don't know, because I like them. If I don't have my Beatles albums with me I will often have the radio playing some sort of 60's pop. Or my LotR soundtracks. If the music is not on before I get on, then it doesn't go on.

I usually have a couple of tabs open, Barrow-Downs, LiveJournal, Facebook, UK Tea Council, Hotmail. In that order.

-Any other relevant info.
I always will visit the mirth forum first. If there are new posts on the Newspaper Thread I will go there first. I will also look at a thread that has posts from Hookbill, Lalwende, Eönwë, Laurinque, and Lommy first. Though, Lauri doesn't post much, so I don't go looking for her posts.
When I have checked all of my subscribed threads, I will go to Facebook and see if there are any Downers online, if there are, I will comment on something they've done, hoping for a comment back. The Barrow-Downs is the main reason I have a Facebook.
I aslo always type faster when Downsing. I mcan rattle out a 200 word post in four minutes, yet I can write a fifty word comment on Facebook in five minutes.
