Sorry if someone has already done this...

Just for fun! What would you be doing if you weren't procrastinating giving solid advice on this forum?  :P

If I weren't on this forum, I would probably be finished with my essays  8)

If I weren't on this forum, I would probably be finished with my essay (and presentation) too. :)

Working!

Overrated! :P

If I weren't on here, I'd be on time to work more often (oops!) and my Christmas tree would be decorated by now.

Hahahaha good question!!!!

For starters, I'd have the back room cleared out and useable.

I'd have all my photos categorised, labelled and filed. ALL.

House would be spotless. Probably.

I would have more books downloaded to my brain.

But then again, maybe not.

True Procrasinators have a way of, well, procrasinating regardless and I'd probably have found another forum to haunt and would be back in the same boat.




Still tired of coteries and bans. But hanging about anyway.

I third the whole "I'd be working" motion. LOL.  The only time I am really on is whilst at work... and then it's all day long!

Sleeping...

Eating...

Using the toilet...

You know...those insignificant, minor details we tend to forget about once we get sucked into the black hole known as UK-Y!!   ;D

Today?  My Farmville and Farmtown crops would have been harvested, my Cafe World food would have been served up, and my shift at the Sweets Factory would have been done and dusted.  Oh, and I probably would have done writing that didn't involve posting to internet boards.  Maybe it would have just been other internet boards though.

BTW, if anything, I wish I found UK-Y years before I did.
