"Downsing"- What, where, when?

[Beregond]

-Where do you "Downs"?

Always at home. I'm home schooled and work at home as well...

-What sort of time do you "Downs" (morning, after work/school, evening, middle of the night)?

All times of the day, when I have a break from whatever I'm supposed to be doing. I don't stay for long. I get email notifications for threads I've subscribed to, and I check my email all the time, so I know if there's a quiz thread to tend, for example. The term "Down-blitzing" springs to mind.

-Do you do anything else while "Downsing" (e.g. listen to music)?

I'm often listening to music or news radio while at the computer, but I don't do anything specific whilst "Downsing," no. If I participated in more "lore" and roleplaying I would spend much more time here and have Down-rituals, but I can't spare the time, I really can't.

-Any other relevant info.

Downsing is fun late at night on the weekend when everybody has gone to bed. I can read lore and learn (till I fall asleep).

Where do you "Downs"?
Mostly at home (and at my dad's place), but also at school. I've lately had lots of free hours in the middle of the day and then I often just go to the school library, take a computer and amuse myself by downsing.

What sort of time do you "Downs"?
All the time. But seriously, that's almost true. Well, I'm not mad enough to wake up earlier to go to the 'down before I go to school, but discounting that, I may be downsing whenever.

Do you do anything else while "Downsing"?
A lot of stuff. Maybe it tells a lot that whenever I'm doing something on the computer I probably have 'Downs open. So I downs while doing something else too - talking to people (often 'Downers) on MSN messenger, hanging around in LiveJournal or Facebook, checking my e-mails, reading news or just absent-mindedly surfing, or very often even while doing all kinds of schoolwork. (It's a nice refreshment there.) Also, I very often listen to music too (like right now, I'm listening to Dido's new album Safe Trip Home which I got for Christmas) and sometimes (read: "when I'm having an all too interesting discussion with someone online and my mum is not at home" ) I even eat while I'm downsing.

Any other relevant info.
I love seeing others 'downsing almost as much as I love doing it myself, so I often stalk the "who's online" page and it always delights me to see a green light instead of blue in people's posts. (And this is why I dislike it when people are on the invisible mode. )
