Random topic of the day!
Ok, this is a thread about things that take up most of your freetime or dailytime. These things make you stick to them all the time. You may have an urge to do something that involves them. You use your freetime on them. Time flies by when you're involved with them. Sleep, studying and work is not counted. Hobbies are counted.
Example. CoD addicts that play +3 hours a day and integrate into the CoD community. Their freetime is pretty much CoD gaming.
Example.2 TV tropes editors. Dear God, the amount of time they must be spending.
I had CoD gaming addiction back in MW2 days. I clocked 404 hours playing it. That addiction has subsdued since that. I have about 180 hours now with other CoDs. BO2 has been stealing my time due to DIAMOND GUNS!
I also discovered a Japanese game series last year that had +100 characters in it. Now I can pretty much name all the characters if you show me a pic of them. Don't get involved in it. Took me almost 9 months to stop reading stories and comics about it. I shall not tell the name of the series here, but if you want to know, PM me.

Writing, though I don't count that as stealing. Definitely worth every minute.

You'd have a lot less time if you didn't breath.

In order of (estimated) time spent on the activity.
video games (wins by default because its a year round activity)
making a trail through the woods along the mississippi
fixing my damn axe and machete after the above activity
making my own shot shells. Wax slugs and custom buckshot loads everywhere. Working on electro plating steel shot to improve hardness.
tinkering with my guns ( recently filed down the bolt catch on my ruger .22 so if I pull the trigger once it dumps the whole mag at like 540 rpm whether I want it to or not, this experiment was a great success)
Trying not to significantly injure myself doing the above activities.
Injuring myself doing the above activities.
evading police

Injuring myself doing the above activities. evading police I approve. Teach me. Please, I live in northern Illinois, take me from this wretched hellhole and show me to live off the land, a simple life of grape growing and steer pasturing for me. I wish I could be like Neg and have the power of will to simply sit and write, though I enjoy it when I do.

It's not really that easy, Jaedrik. My writing takes time away from the everything. I know that might not make much sense, but I'm alway thinking about my writing. It's a continual process in my mind, building worlds, identify characters, generalizing plot, elements, themes... By the time I sit down, the story is almost finished. I just have to write it.

bahaha. I bet you would be good at minecraft.
my poems aren't any good, but the workshops I've attended told me that my short stories are good. I write best in stream of consciousness.
I've never done sarcasm well though.

I actually don't like Minecraft. What type of stuff do you write? guh. literary fiction short stories. Started a fantasy book I didn't like so I stopped for a while. and crappy poems. like this. Revenge is Cliché They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Yeah, I'm all dressed up an nowhere to go. I'm all bent out of shape. Young and foolish. And I thought to myself "What a wonderful world." and "It's a wonderful life." Well, all bets are off. I've got an ace up my sleeve. My horse is still in the race. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Just not sweeter than me. I'm as sweet as a pea. Mark my words. Santa Clause is coming to town and I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down. At the end of the day... You'll be at the end of your rope. When all is said and done all is fair in love and war.

Sleeping
Seriously, the most time consuming thing ever

Explaining to people on forums that FMJ does not increase base damage; that's got to be a huge waste of time.

Playing video games, work and sleep may consume the most time but do know what the biggest WASTE of time is?
Arguing with trolls.

No not exactly. What I'm saying is sex steals my time away. That's five good minutes I'm never gonna get back. 10 minutes if you include the cuddling, and the cleaning up the wood afterwards.

But if the time wasted was enjoyable, was it really wasted time?

This thread was about stealing, not wasting. Two different things.
