Your Obedient Serpent doesn't know how to unwind anymore.

Oct 29, 2009 22:34

Your Obedient Serpent has no idea what he's gonna do to relax in the near future, because all the things he's frittered away his spare-and-not-so-spare time on over the years actively piss him off right now.

This is, in part, because he's frittered away so much of his life on them, and in part because, well, Busman's Holiday. One of his sources of ( Read more... )

That's too much like work.

Too much like your job? Sounds like you could use some time away from the shelf model of mindstate anyway. ;)

I'd suggest writing or artwork, but that too is rather work-like, isn't it? Just kicking back with some computer based games here and there couldn't hurt. I find the trick is to have several things you like to do, so you don't get bored just doing one or two things time and time again. Draw, write, create, go for walks, read a book, enjoy a bath, watch TV, play a game, have friends over for board-games and supper, that kinda thing. :3

There's always farking around on the internet too, with such mediums as chatting and SL.

Cycling. Time spent piloting a bike is never frittered.

True enough.

Perhaps fishing, too?

I second and third these comments!

Back when I used to bike as my primary mode of transport I found there was no better way to clear away the detritus of the day than that ride home!

I always liked fishing; though more for the fishing part than the actual catch-and-kill.

I was going to suggest music and exercise, but biking counts as exercise. Yes, try biking!

How about goin' out for drinks with your buds? :)

I'd be on board with this. I have a hybrid. San Jose's just over the hill. ;)

I know the feeling. I love love love games, but part of me worries that this is all just stimming and not really pushing my life forwards. Maybe there's a way to make peace with geeky interests, but I haven't quite figured it out yet.
