If I have free time, I'll typically do one or more of the following:

futz around on the internets
read
watch tv/movie
sleep
drink beer
go to gym
clean the apartment
play a videogame (if I'm into playing one at that time)

etc..

i have lotsa free time.. but i usually end up going on anandtech or 4chan. It's just so relaxing to just sit down and read some random shit.

I have a priority system.

1. Social Interaction IRL
2. Social Interaction via Video Games
3. Movies, TV, and/or Single Player Video Games

I like reading, but usually my free time is to relax. I need some sort of interaction to really do that. Reading is for when I'm already relaxed. :)

To me, the gym isn't free time, it's priority number one. I got to stay healthy/in_shape.

Yea, I have so much free time everyone I meet seems to be working harder than me, and they probably are ;)

Yeah.

I keep telling myself "You ought to be doing something more fun".

Play X game? Nah, I can do better than that.
Watch a movie? Nah, I hate to commit the 2 hours to something that probably won't be that great.
Read a book? Nah, I'm not terribly excited about any of the books I picked up recently.
Make some food? Nah, can't stuff my face if I expect to be in shape for the summer.
Mow the lawn? Wait, I'm trying to do something fun here...nah
Nef on ATOT? I'll just do that until I decide what I'm really going to...wait is it 11:40 already? How many times have I refreshed this page? FUCK now all I have to look forward to is sleep and then work...goddammit.

All the time. Like for instance, when i get home from being away working for 3 week weeks (remenber, i work in the oil field), i'll probalby putz around for th 5 days that i have off and do nothing of things i want to get done... like apply for a new job, get back in shape. I'll probably just bum around for those days and stay in my apartment. more than likel surfing the internet or being on my computing & becoming a waste of life.

You've already made the choice to spend your free time on your girlfriend, dogs, house stuff and gym. These are not mandated.

You need to create a poll and let ATOT decide what you do during your free time!

I struggle with my ambition. I can either do something creative, self-fulfilling, and otherwise beneficial... or I can sit down at the computer and blow shit up.

Guess which one usually wins.
