"Downsing"- What, where, when? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rumil · 07-21-2009, 03:31 PM

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

Mostly, in fact almost exclusively, at home, but occasionally at work if its very late, and nobody else is in

-What sort of time do you "Downs" (morning, after work/school, evening, middle of the night)?

Evening, always, apart from weekends if its raining, as usual.

-Do you do anything else while "Downsing" (e.g. listen to music)?

Currently I have re-runs of 'Mock the Week' on Channel Dave

-Any other relevant info.

It sort of comes and goes, Downsing for me, but I always like to check what's occurring and love to see the 'Old Guard' and new talent posting

Ooh now I feel truly flattered!

-Where do you "Downs"?
Generally at home, but occasionally at the school library (when there aren't too many people watching what I'm doing, since we're not allowed to go on "non-educational websites"

)

-What sort of time do you "Downs"?
Usually I have some 10 or so minutes to spare before school, and I usually spend them on the BD. Then I also try to visit after I come home from school.

-Do you do anything else while "Downsing"?
Weirdly enough, I often check my email at the same time - while one window is loading, I'm on the other. But majority of the time is spent on the Downs. :-)

-Any other relevant info
I have a weird habbit of going first to Quizzes, then to Quotes, Mirth, Books, N&N, and finally Movies. I don't know why this particular order, but it just got into a habit.
Also, when I'm bored, I randomly browse the forums, sometimes going to the last page and reviving threads that weren't touched for 10 years...

Or, like right now, I'm supposed to be writing an essay and not spending half the time here!
