Today it occurred to me that I've now been on this forum for almost five years. I'm under no illusion that aside from giving me something to do it has been almost entirely a waste of time. Luckily time has always been something I've had plenty of so I hold no regrets.

The question is, if you could go back in time to the day you signed up and instead devote the X number of years spent telling guitar woman to shut up to some other task or skill, what would it be?

Personally I'd love to have spent more time learning about history. It's a subject that I find fascinating but difficult to approach due to it's size. I could probably have covered about 500 years worth of noteworthy events in the time I've spent reading the chat thread alone.

Well, if it wasn't time wasted reading this forum, it would have been some other forum, and it would have probably been less funny. If it had been more funny, well that would have been a tradgedy.

I would have liked to have already learnt a few languages. Spanish and French, at least. Possibly German.

Grislygus · #7

I'm always here either between classes, during the doldrums at the paper, or when I'm simultaneously hopping back and forth between here and long art projects

The time I waste here would have been wasted anyway!

I would have been at the pub. Granted I've not been here a year, but I'd still have been in the pub.

I'd say "Go to the bar," but the bar I like to go to has wi-fi so I can drink and surf I-mockery at the same time.

Same here.

High Five.

Although I should have finished "Don Quixote" and "Man and his symbols by Carl Jung" by now.

Kitsa · #12

I would have been taking in more neighborhood strays.

Tadao · #13

I'd be doing hard drugs.

Guitar Woman · #14

I'd probably have finished High School

Fathom Zero · #15

I'd be a bigger social retard than I am.

WhiteRat · #16

I'd probably be doing something just as worthless.

If you were to make a diary of your weekly conversations, how many of them would not be pointless? So you may as well do them online.
See I'm at work now. I'm not doing any work. I'm chatting with my friend about the snow and what we did at the weekend. She did just ask me if I'm updating the company website, ha, how I laughed.
