I'm homeschooled. Therefore I do not have a social life. xD

I mostly hangout with friend during the day, and at around 7 or 8, I play Xbox for about 3 hours with my other friends. :D

Eh, gaming is the thing that takes the hit from me, I don't watch much television, anyways, and I'll always go out rather than stay on the webs.

I seem to spend more time looking forward to soon-to-be-released games then playing the games that I was hyped for a few weeks ago.

Social life's actually improved since I joined, but it's because I've started more extra curricular activities, not saying "I'm online all the time" and getting people to admire me.
Less TV, which is good, because TV's been cruddy lately.
The only thing it really cuts into is homework time. ;)

The Mighty Boosh is great if you've not seen it yet.

If anything, I don't have enough time to go online. This is my first extended session in a long time, and I'm enjoying it!

That would be news to me also. Outside the internet, I've never really been a chatterbox, preferring more to keep to myself. I guess it comes from being hurt a few times, that my defensive shell now is rather hard to get through.

Yes. Gaming also ruins my social life. Honestly though... I don't care.

Once I have my few friends and I can still mesh with the girl I want.

Once I keep my priorities straight and don't mess with those two things, I'm fine.

yeah, i have friends off-line, lol, but not many, I feel like I can be myself more online to an extent, I don't have to worry about what people think of me so much
