Topic.

As in, when you've had a pretty rough day, or string of days, how do you unwind and relax?

 

[MIMIC]

Me? Make an effort make the perfect plop into bed or onto the couch. I would do this every day after a hard afternoon at track practice.

 

[Trevelyon]

A nice bubble bath & a good book.

............

Uh, er... I mean, Scandinavian death metal & ESPN.

 

[SD-Ness]

Run, read, write, listen to music, or play a game.

 

[Azala]

Computer games, music, glass of wine, watching a movie, sexual release, reading, long shower or bath, a good rub, a nice meal, a treat or gift for myself. Anything that spoils my senses. I'm very sensory oriented. I love being pampered.

Sometimes I'll break down with a good scream or cry.

 

[fart]

gaf
seriously
shut up

 

[retardboy]

Sleep and Tv... Food too....

 

[IAmtheFMan]

It depends. Sometimes I read a book, watch something on DVD, have a glass of wine. I often times play an RPG, so I can play it for 15 minutes, which I find relaxing since it's a more passive game than most, and there's very little actual threat of dying.

When I really need to just kick back, I maybe take a long shower or bath. My sister actually got me on those bath bomb things (don't laugh) which just makes the whole damn thing that more relaxing.

 

[bjork]

Tonight is a soda and a piece of pizza.

But for some reason, liquor sounds really good.

No idea who's in that pic, but I can't find the original spooge pic. :-\

 

[Nerevar]

 

[olimario]

That and playing guitar.

 

[Incognito]

I don't know, depends on the type of the day. Usually though, after a particularly distressing day, I'll log onto various forums and try out my impersonation routine.

Seems to hit the spot. All other days, I like to troll.

 

[aoi tsuki]

Beer and cigarettes, Fusker and tissues.

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

GAF
Game
Porn
Bed

In that order. Unless the Fap Thread comes back, and then it's just:

GAF
Bed

 

[Drinky Crow]

Unwind? Whassat? Six month old kids don't let a dude unwind.

[Triumph]

Booze. And then pointless arguments with friends over trivial stuff. Eventually I'll slap somebody, but in my group of friends it's pretty much common knowledge that at some point, if you're drinking with me, I'm going to go upside your head.

 

[APerfectCircle]

Dark room, good music, pass out on bed. I been doing that alot lately.

 

[hooded pitohui]

bed + ipod + gba sp - roommate

 

[Agent Dormer]

Sleep, music, and a good book.

 

[karasu]

meditation, shadowboxing or kendo.

 

[miyuru]

Going to bed, like I am right now, laters!

BTW: I like sleeping in winter better because it's cold so your blankets mean that much more. In summer it's just fucking annoying trying to get to bed if it's too hot.

 

[Manabanana]

Some super loose figure drawings are nice if I have reference readily available. Playing with color in Painter while watching Seinfeld or the Office or Monty Python is really relaxing. Cooking is nice, assuming I have food in the apartment. Checking GAF and checking some peoples' art sites is always nice and slightly more productive than watching TV.

 

[Jeffahn]

Clockwise.

...

 

[Miguel]

Go to a sporting event (Rockets, Astros, Texans)
Watch a game on TV
Sleep
Make someone on a site.
GAF/Clutchfans/Feakish
IRC
Listen to random 80s music (I'M SORRY BUT I'M JUST THINKING OF THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY)
Drive around the city (when I'm not broke and have no money for gas)

 

[olimario]

I thought of this same topic, but figured I had better do a search first.
Here is a new way I unwind...

 

[Boogie]

I beat the crap out of a heavy bag or Thai pads.

 

[fallout]

Music by myself or drinking with my roommates while playing some videogames.

The latter usually only happens after we've all spent too much time on school work. You have no idea how many times "Fuck this! Who's up for some beer and Halo?" has been said in the short time we've lived here.

 

[Tarazet]

I guess I don't really do anything to unwind. Sometimes I like to play the piano in the evening, and that's great for relieving tension because I have a powerful enough technique to actually exhaust myself, but I definitely always chat with someone before I go to bed... 95% of the time the same person.

You are not a man.

 

[olimario]

You are not a man.

Try it. So relaxing.
I took one with somebody this last Friday and it felt so good that I had to take another today.

 

[bionic77]

I take Loki to school on the basketball courts.

 

[Deleted member 4784]

Post on forums (G-A being the most popular with me right now), play videogames, go horseback riding, play with my doggie, take pictures of stuff, etc.

You give "gay" a whole new meaning, Oli.

Something tells me there was nothing "gay" about the bath last friday.

 

[fart]

with a counter clockwise motion

HEY-AAAAAAAAAH!

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

When I'm feeling really bored I hire a woman come to my house while my wife is away and we make fun of the guy taking pictures of us out of his window.
