Everyone always has one thing or another that they would rather do when they have nothing else going on in their day. My go to favorite is sitting at home and reading a good book. No matter how terrible my week started off, it always ends with me going to bed with one of my favorite authors. The stress fall away and life stops for just awhile. There is nothing better than curling up with a great book and a comfy spot to doze off in. So I'm just curious as to what everyone else likes to do on their down time...

I like to go on to the Internet to go to sites like wonderful My Lot. I enjoy sitting in my armchair reading an enjoyable book. Mainly I read novels and non-fiction books like travel guides. I like to have a warm bath with some bubbles. Nothing takes away stress like a bike ride along country paths. I enjoy taking my dogs out for coastal and country walks. I adore going out for days and planning my next trip overseas. Traveling is one of my top hobbies. I will be going to Canada this summer on my trip.

On rainy days, or days where nothing is happening and I have no need to leave the house, and would just prefer to stay in and relax, I enjoy doing a number of things. Watching films, playing videogames, reading books, practising on my DJ decks, listening to some tunes or squeezing in some more revision for uni I love these so called "lazy days"

For me, in the "bored" days .. I have a "special" activity .. I love to sit on my computer with my headphones while creating music in Fruity Loops . I have no idea what does all the buttons do ... just bounce my fingers on the piano roll , I even don't have any basic notions of how to play piano ..but the sound it just chills me down and I love mashing up different sounds :P . Well, maybe I will woke up in one day discovering that I'm a little Mozart, or at least.. a little Tiesto.

During my free day, I watch DVD and have DVD marathon :) I watch all my fave movies, even if I have watched them a couple of times already. And of course, just like watching in the big screen, I also have popcorn, chips and soda beside me :)

Hi Shell, I too like to read when I am not happy with the way things are going for the day. My other remedy for reducing stress is listening to some good music. I also love to do some gardening and I find it very soothing and healthy too.I too have the habit of going to bed with a book , a magazine or at least the newspaper...All the best

If I'm not surfing the net or watching TV, I listen to music and sing and dance along. I really love listening to MJ's songs because they're really beautiful, either makes me cry or makes me dance. Another thing that I love to do and I've already said this a couple of times here is daydreaming. It's something that occurs to me naturally, almost involuntary, and I find pleasure in them that I get really lost.

I love to watch movies on my computer and also to learn some stuff about how to have a blog. Even though games still is the biggest slice of the pie, I am trying to lessen that. I have also visited a lot of websites like I am having a very affordable tour of the world thanks to my internet. Some discuss about religion, others about myths that prove to be wrong, car maintenance, relationship gurus, troubleshooting bugs, cooking recipes, career stories, and many others. Ive discovered that the more I learn the easier I fall asleep.

I love surfing on net, chatting with friends. I like to chat with foreigner so we can share our culture. And i can learn new languages from them. Mylotting is one of my new favorite things to do. I really like to read the answers of mylotters. Many of them are very useful things. I can get a new knowledge by reading the answers or asking new questions.

I just love the computer. I can do a lot of things with this. I can do research, search for interesting and upcoming movies or series, listen to music, chat and most especially play games. I just love playing games and they are just so addicting that most of the time, I forget what time it is already or I never realize that I was already playing for maybe a couple of hours or more. Sometimes, I am just forced to stop because I have to eat or I have an errand to do or if my back really hurts already. If it weren't for those factors maybe I could just spend the whole day in front of a computer.

Me, I'd rather watch one of my favorite series from the first episode of the season to it's finale. I'm also a movie buff so I would go on movie marathons. It can be a A Romantic Comedy Day, A Vampire Movie Day, An Enigmatic Feature Day and so on.I'd like to do that without feeling guilty and just be in my own world. It doesn't matter if I'm alone watching them or I'm with someone with the same interests. Everybody deserves a downtime.

I love reading books and writing to my diary. Or if I get really bored I go to gym. As much as possible I keep myself busy by doing something alone.

Nowadays, I spend a lot of time in front of our computer surfing, chatting with friends, blogging, and playing computer games. If I'm not in front of the computer, then you'd see me reading a book or watching TV show/series like American Idol and Glee.

Reading is definitely one of the ways I unwind. One of my other favourites is to do a 1000pcs. jigsaw puzzle or a crossword puzzle.

I always like to listen to music, and do something else, but music is always present. Well, I like to read a book, it is always good, huh? When I'm not reading, i'm playing guitar, oh, I love it so much! Sometimes, when i'm inspired, i write something... a poem, a song or a history. Or, I just sit and watch a good movie. (sorry for errors, my english is the worst english ever)
