I'm just curious to see how many of the members have lives .

Also, this is with the assumption that you guys work or go to school during the day.

Perhaps, it's because i'm 16, but everybody around me seems to have stuff to do, and yet i just sit at home. This girl i know was very excited just because she got to go home and sit on her backside all that day. This happens to me all the time. I just find that strange. O well. That would answer my question, i suppose.

I am the kind of stupid bastard who brings his work home with him!

I spend at least 12 hours a day chained to a PC.

Although I do manage to fit in thrice weekly trips to my local drinkery

Also visit the gym about 4 times a week-although you'd never tell

Listen to music constantly whilst working on my PC and usually have ProgArchives minimised (or maximised) for the duration....

Like to take in a live band at the weekend,usually a rock covers bands at one of my locals.

With my right eye and hand I prepare a lecture for tomorrow; with the left eye and hand I post in the forum... it's tricky, but it can be done

Edit... I forgot to mention that my headphones are on (J.S. Bach's Well Tempered Clavier played in a harpsichord: the neighbours don't appreciate good music at this time of the night...)

When I get home I f**K the Misses

Just been watching a documentary about an autistic savant from the UK. The guy went over to America to meet the the man who was the inspiration for Rainman.

This guy is amazing.He can read a page of a book in about 10 secs and memorise at least 90% of it,but get this: he reads one page with his left eye and the other page with his right at the same time!!!!

I take my shoes off.

Great homelife you got there,Val Hairyarse...

I put on some tunes, and get a snack. Crisp breads, olives and cheeses seem to be recurring motifs.

(Geez -- now I've got the munchies!)

Later, progfans -- the cheese stands alone.

Well all i've been doing this year is sitting at home all day anyway  Playing guitar, surfing the net, usually going outside for a short while daily.

Last year when i was still at school i would pretty much just do the same as you, MWH. Watch TV, hop on the computer, play guitar, or once in a blue moon i'd do school work

Not having any friends living anywhere near me, nor being productive enough to have my drivers license, i had/have little other choice.

Have a frenzied time playing with/taking care of/feeding the kids before its bedtime for #2 and #3 ... it's tiring as hell but also pretty damn awesome ...

the 3 M:

Music, Mistress and Munchies

In the morning the three Sh

sh*t , shower and shave

When I get in I put the kettle on. Put music on and start chain smoking until about 6.15, then I make dinner. Eat dinner. Continue chainsmoking until about 9.30pm. Skin up. Get battered and go to bed listerning to music.

Wake up, go to work, come home and repeat process. This happens at least three times a week, the rest of the time I'll be meeting friends in pubs after work, having a few pints and then getting battered with them.

I have become single again in the last three months, so I'm enjoying leading a meaningless existence, focussing entirely on myself before the next poor women falls into my life, and I find myself having to give a sh!t again!

MONDAY:

Babysit/Computer, Watch Television, Eat, Listen to Radio and CDs, Call my Pals, Home and Watch Tele or Radio, Bed.

MOST WEEKDAYS:

College and Visit ProgArchives.com and Various Websites, Eat, Watch Television or listen to CDs,Visit my relatives or freinds etc, TV/RADIO/HI-FI/Computer, bed.

WEEKENDS:

Not much wheather I listen to music and  doing other things.

Some days I go to the gym and workout or just jump on my bike and ride. Now that the weather has warmed up, I will start doing some laps in the pool.

Then I make dinner. Now that the wife is finished with school for a few months, we'll make dinner together and if things work out properly, we'll order the kids a pizza and go to our room for some prayer services (Oh God, oh yes Jesus....).

Maybe a glass of Gewurztraminer or a bottle of ale. I never cared much for hard stuff; whiskey, gin, tequilla and all that.

Sometimes we'll play a family game or cards or play some guitar and jam a bit. Watch the news, take the dogs outside and then hit the hay.

You old romantic SD! As John Cleese said in "The meaning of life", we'll take the foreplay as read then".

! Can Easy really be so easy? Sleazy?

Brace yerself, Edna!

KY: foreplay in a tube ('ere -- consider this a kiss & a cuddle!")

Monday-Wednesday and Friday:

Play with my little daughter until her bedtime, providing at least an hour of musical education - usually some prog .

Eat Supper and maybe watch TV.

Any odd jobs that need doing...

Go online, inspect home network for outside tampering (I'm very paranoid, having studied network insecurity), check out the various forums I'm signed up to, email, etc.

With LARGE whiskey (Doctor's orders ).

I don't care how dull or routine it seems - I have a little girl who is growing up happily and healthily, and that's all that seems to matter these days

Thursday:

I don't go home until after midnight (get me!).

Off over to my co-writer's to create more music that one day will bring world peace.

By mass suicide...

Tell him Tony.

Any chance that you are talking about these people?

Easy Livin in his world famous role as George Roper.A lifetime of perfecting the Bobby Charlton comb-over made Easy a dead-cert for the role of hapless George.

Yootha Joyce (Mildred) is, as you can imagine,kneeling beside the diminutive Scottish lothario-hence that rather insipid leer on Easy's face...

Ps contrary to my post above-Cert is most certainly not dead-well not from the neck downwards at least...

Get home,

eat terrible pizza from local pizzeria,

get earful from girlfriend for being away all the time,

spend three hours placating girlfriend, whilst simultaneously doing laundry

iron clothes whilst making plans to meet friends for dinners/drinks/vacations that will never happen

set alarm for 5am

go to bed - placate girlfriend as best as possible (depending on level of exhaustion)

roll over, fart, begin snoring

cease snoring at 5am

get up, shower, dress, eat an orange, drink tea,

get in car, light first ciggy (that I have been banned from smoking) of the day

head to work

disappear for four days

arrive home

repeat ......

oliverstoned wrote: "spend three hours placating girlfriend, whilst simultaneously doing laundry" A little bit of exageration, maybe?

Definitely, it's an exageration: do you expect us to believe that you need three hours to do the laundry?

How do you know?

For all you know I could be the leotard washer for an entire touring troupe of female mud wrestlers

Depending on the time of year, I may end up going to one of the various sporting events featuring our school teams (basketball, volleyball, or soccer). Then I come home, eat dinner, listen to some more music, do some homework (if I have any) while listening to music, play some video games and listen to music, use the computer (usually foru, instant messaging, weblogs and email) while listening to music, have some more to eat, then go to bed while listening to music.

Funny, with a moniker like KINGOFBIZARRE, I would have thought you'd get home, gulp some lighter fluid and blow flames at kittens, wear mismatched clothes and shave your dog, cover it in peanut butter and visit starbucks with some snot smeared on your chin and ask for a free Chai tea. You aren't all that bizarre, are you?

I walk home from work every day, so I usually take a different route every couple of days.  I shop, check out Virgin, check out the BB Kings schedule, get home, cook dinner now that Ian is home, and then watch a little tv with him.. sometimes meet Sean at the pub, sometimes Ian's out and Sean's not...

Sometimes I shove them both out.. and I sit on the computer...

Its all rather boring tho... so I try to attend as many concerts as I can.  I really had the craving to pack it all in and just go out following PT around the country...

However, my back and my check book said... "forget about it!!!"

I try to go out as much as possible, concerts are quiet expensive in Paris but there is always a way even if you are broke:   La maison de la Radio the public radio station: they do free concerts , you just have to showup one or two hours earlier to get the tickets mainly Jazz and Classics, the acoustics are splendid. Then  you have a lot of people selling tickets outside the venues, so even for sold out concerts you can always get cheap tickets, you just have to wait for the beginning of the concert and look quiet desinterested and bargain, I  got tickets for Musical Box last week that way. My favourite radio station gives away concert places mainly for Jazz and I go quiet often to  The New Morning a great place for Mainstream Fusion and World. When we stay home we have mainly dinner and look TV or a DVD. When I'm on my own I play guitar or listen to music or try to bring order in my record collection.

... these are the good sites of living in a overcrowded, polluted city full of neurotics and neverending public transport strikes.

After school, well I listen to music, avoiding computer as much as possible, but I often end up there anyway, since most of my music is there. After that, supper, then listen to music again, and try to play music, then I sleep with my earphones on, or take a walk outside while listening music all the night because I can't fall asleep... which seem to happen a lot...

In the morning, wake up, eat, drink, then take my walkman, 5-6 CDs, and I'm off to school... (...)

as milder weather allows it these days, after work, i go play golf or hit a couples of buckets; most of the time i can play 18 holes, because the course is less busy at that time. in the winter, after work, i go to ski (cross country): there is a place here where you can ski in the dark!! no hills, just flat all the way! i use to have supper very late (past 8:00): i always eat the same thing! i always eat cold! i take my time then to visit progarchives, rateyourmusic and other sites i have interest.

yes, i have no life, but at least, i can do what i want to do, anytime! i'm a sociopath because i'm more interested in things than in people!! I have the perfect activities to never get a woman: golf & prog rock listen!

today, we had a social meeting with vegetables, wine, cheese & crackers: it was sooooooo boring! after 2 minutes, i wanted to leave! i felt so bad! if i do not get a social life, it is just because i don't feel comfortable with that! i looked at the people talking about useless things and i found them so ridiculous: what really makes me sick in those activities are all the non verbal language: how to react when you stand alone in your corner, after a person stopped to talk to you and goes to talk to another person; you have to shake the hand and thank some influencial people before leaving:  this really annoys me! you are talking to a person and suddenly, another one comes and they both start an animated conversation: and you are left there, all alone: how embarrassing this can be!

i hate social activities!
