    Applying nail polish. Which is a good thing, given that I have about 700 or 800 bottles of polish to use up.

    Procrastinating. I'm a bit of an expert at it

      I came here to say that but I procrastinated too long.

    Going to the fridge every 5 minutes and never actually getting anything.

    • Gozzin

      I do that too. It's great exercise!

        Yep, sure is

          How do you two manage that? I always end up getting a drink of iced water regardless.

            The luck of the draw I suppose!

            Well, I do sometimes get some water, but I would hardly count that.

    Being a world top 5 ranked player of three card draw Windows 95 Solitaire. That's right ladies, line-up starts over there. :)

    My research and advocacy is pretty good too. I have been positively cited in a Supreme Court decision (women's reproductive rights) and have changed laws and textbooks (bankruptcy, construction and internet law stuff) through my work so that has been nice.

      So... you're a pro procrastinator? /u/awl27, you got beat!

        Hahaha. Yep pretty much.

    Bating, of course.

    Wait for it....

      How do you pronounce that?

      • spaceghoti
        +4

        Long "a" sound, like "bait."

        • jenjen1352

          Is it some sort of piscine reference?

          • spaceghoti
            +4

            It is not!

            • jenjen1352
              +6

              Is it an abbreviation?

              Not exactly. More like a fragment.

              Five syllables?

              @jenjen1352 -

              Three syllables. "Bate" is the last one.

              Thought that from the off, just amusing myself and irritating you I hope! :D

              I am so irritated, let me tell you. ;) I should go off and hate-bate.

              It is entirely possible that not only is the Antichrist real, but I've married her.

              I'm quite pleased.

              Too right!

              Always be prepared. Good night!

    Using my brains. Around the same time I started to forget just those little things. Many years ago my mother told me that the moment I would start to use my brains and common sense, I'd become crazy of enjoyment. Ah well, it feels kinda good. :-)

    The art of relaxation. Some people call it laziness. They have no idea...
