......what did you do with your spare time?

Stu · 31-03-2011, 10:33 PM

They were the kind of days where I could play games and watch movies for hours on end. As much as I hate it I just don't get that anymore with the internet lying around. It's given us all horrible attention spans.

I used to be a right book worm. Still am to a degree. But as you say, you can't help being lured........ I'll sit with a book now and half my brains squirming..."am I missing something??"

Dunno really, I was about 10 when I got the internet I think, before then I probably read and played video games more, used to just go over the park and kick a ball around or play cricket or something as well, dont seem to do that as much anymore

Socialise, write, have fun (here is fun, but actual real life fun), be active...

Stephanie · 31-03-2011, 10:40 PM

i got internet when i was 7, i can't remember what i used to do before it.

Stacey. · 31-03-2011, 10:41 PM

I don't actually know, I can't remember. Just like go out every weekend and watch more tv and stuff I think. :s

Shaun · 31-03-2011, 10:45 PM

got a computer in 2005 - before then I was all PS2, N64 and going to the park.

Iceman · 31-03-2011, 10:47 PM

Drink lots and smoke lots, now I pace myself.... my younger years are catching up on me

Kerry · 31-03-2011, 10:50 PM

I was pretty late to it all. 2004-ish I think.

Used to be out a lot (though the 'net never changed that). When I think about it it all sounds pretty boring - life 'before' - but then what do people usually do? Skijump nightly?

Shasown · 31-03-2011, 10:51 PM

Murders occupied a lot of my time as did other crimes of violence against the person. Just realised I havent raped anyone on a while now.

LemonJam · 31-03-2011, 11:09 PM

N64.

Stu · 31-03-2011, 11:15 PM

Got the internet in 99. The first website I discovered was GameFaqs where I thought it was absoloutely the filthiest thing ever on par with hardcore porn discovering I could put cheat codes into all the Megadrive games I had put blood and sweat into.

It was a joy discovering a nerds paradise where people as weird as me thought enough about video game characters to write bios on them. The net still is a nerds paradise but it's gone all mainstream now.

I loved the days where even the biggest corporations around would have horrific, geocities esque sites.

Shaun · 31-03-2011, 11:27 PM

lmao geocities. I remember a site called something like "myfreeweb" or something...I tried searching for it for ages but can't find anything

Princess · 31-03-2011, 11:31 PM

Be miserable,write in my diary,listen to a lot of music. I honestly don't know how I survived without it.

Kerry · 31-03-2011, 11:59 PM

Final Fantasy 7 and Tomb Raider where always on here. Never played them, just watched and tried to help. I can't play games to save my bloody life. Used to have mates over quite a lot too. Got to a point though when I just wanted them to eff off by 2am though and give us some space!

Locke. · 01-04-2011, 12:18 AM

I joined here a couple of months after I finished school.. so school.

Callum · 01-04-2011, 12:26 AM

Can't really remember, I started at a young age but I used to love playing on my PS2 and hanging out with people from my street before I got hooked.

Suze · 01-04-2011, 12:27 AM

I can't remember how I wiled away some of the time before the internet

On a side note, anyone else have trouble viewing avatars on here? Or is it a TIBBs April Fools on us all

*Edit* Ignore that

the avatars seem to have returned now

Lee. · 01-04-2011, 12:34 AM

I used to play my PS2 until I was almost hallucinating.. or read

Niamh. · 01-04-2011, 09:26 AM

I sometimes wonder how on earth I ever managed to buy stuff before the interwebby thingamijig...........but anything that saves you having to queue-up in stores to buy Christmas gifts has to be a good thing.
