A day in the life of you - on the Internet!

Facebook, creep friends, talk to them. Go on a few forums, post, chat, roleplay. Browse through youtube and wikipedia to research random things of interest.
 
I don't normally have this much spare time (I couldn't estimate the hours, some days I'm not able to get online at all, some days I'm on the computer for hours on end), and since PC is the only social place I frequent online, my time on the computer is usually just spent lighting up and reading articles/ebooks. And a little pirate adventure here and there, if you're picking up what I'm laying down.
 
So, because I have school, I usually don't get on in the morning. But I do have a school netbook with school-available internet, and I visit PC on there sometimes. But way back in North Carolina (living in Colorado now), it would be computer for weeks on end. Day and night, with a see-saw sleeping schedule.

As for my live within, I watch YouTube a lot - especially YouTubers like nigahiga, Smosh, RayWilliamJohnson, MunchingOrange/ErielR, and the occasional upload myself. I (used to) be ever-so-active on Bulbagarden until they attempted to trash my reputation on some bullcrap cause. I moved here after that, and hope to get a positive cashflow so I can continuously donate to this place <3. I visit Kat.ph a lot (because I'm a freeloader), and 4chan a lot for the occasional game of Risk I'll be The People's Republic of Anon, usually gray, if you see me ;D. I used to be on Facebook, but went on and off for a while. I went on the Microsoft Developer's Network back when I coded VB and C#. I also own a dead website or two that I'm trying to put its hosting to some use for (30G space, 300G bandwidth, cPanel). I read Wikipedia for things that no normal human being can answer, and did I mention Encyclopedia Dramatica? I love that site so much. I'm a user on there, and helped out with the articles on Bulbagarden, Shipping (ironic because I'm a shipper somewhat), and others.
 
Here is my list of internet todo's:

1) Check Twitter and Facebook for any mentions/notifications.
2) Check Reddit for any replies/votes to my comments/submitted links.
3) Go back to Twitter and Facebook and look at my timelines for stuff that happened while I was asleep.
4) Back to Reddit to browse the front page a bit.
5) Check out The Verge for any new/interesting tech articles.
6) Check Tumblr, and reblog some random stuff.
7) Check other blogs I've bookmarked.
8) PokeCommunity is usually last on my list because I'm not really an consistently active member, but when I am active it's usually higher on the list.
 
I usually check YouTube whenever I go on the internet, then I browse TVTropes for the rest of the day, as well as visit other sites such as PC, SSMB, Twitter and Blip.

Lol I end up reading wikis for hours by accident while a youtube playlist (The Rolling Stones, gotye, or Japanese rock) and if I remember I go either here or SC2
 
Hmm usually after I'm done with HW and stuff I go on PC and find stuff to reply to or lurk (I always seem to forget VMs though hmmm) and then after that I usually open IRC & MSN, and talk to people! I tend to leave these windows open while do other things, and periodically check the chat windows to see if anyone said anything.
Usually those other things include: watching random shows like Criminal Minds (idk why I do even its horrifying), reading a book (omg irl) or going on other sites!
 
Check Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, use StumbleUpon for a while, hop around forums, do homework.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
 
In the morning, I check Facebook (and remain on FB for the rest of the day), and check to see if I have any emails. Then, I log on to my favorite forum and tumblr and look at stuff there. For the rest of the day, I'm hopping between the tabs looking at stuff or talking, and the fourth tab goes to everything else, like youtube, PC, wiki, or whatever else I feel like looking up.
 
My basic day in my internet life goes like this:

First I check my Gmail (to see any pending notifications)

Then I look at who's VM'ed me on PC while I was sleeping.

I also go to Tumblr for pictures, YouTube for my video fix (maybe even watch some Pokemon anime episodes) and also Twitter so I can talk to my friend.

Maybe even clock in some time on DeviantArt and a few other forums I am on (Serebii, Ever Grande and a few small ones)

On some days I go to work so I'm offline for a few hours.

But yeah, most of my day is spent on PC.
 
First, I check all my mailing sites (Three in total, two of which are religious sites)

Then I would do some personal research on whatever perked my interest on that day (Lately, it's been dream recall and spirits)

Perhaps a bit of character creation? And then an update on my personal website

Rinse and repeat for the next four hours. If nothing seems to be happening, play some Touhou.
 
I do all my business stuff first. Then it's a toss up between spending hours on Fanfiction.Net, TV Tropes, Youtube, Wikipedia, and recently coming to chat here.
 
My Day is Usually filled with
1. Gmail
2. Twitter
3. Facebook
4. Pokecommunity
5. Tumblr
6. YouTube
7. FanFiction.net
8. Pinterest
Gmail is usually always open along with Tumblr and Youtube
 
Wake up, go to work, check work email, open up youtube for music and email just in case I get an important notification ;3..
Then at lunch= check PC sometimes when I am not busy doing band stuff.
Listen to music through youtube throughout the day. Go home.

At home I'll do any number of things from checking PC, to facebook, to looking up random stuff and listening to more music, but mostly I am chatting online through IRC, Skype, or MSN.
 
I usually access the internet after my classes, so mostly in the evening. When I do, I usually check my email first. After that, I tend to go on Facebook and see whats going on there. Then PC and Tumblr.

Thats about it really.
 
Once I log on, I automatically go to Facebook. On separate tabs, there's PokeCommunity, Twitter, Youtube, and my Tumblr dashboard. After I get bored on all those websites, I head straight to 9Gag.
 
My internet is pretty much keeping the following tabs up:

- Roleplay Email account
- PokeCommunity
- Plurk
- Some tab of Dreamwidth

Then I'm typically on AIM, MSN, and (lately) Skype. So Pretty much I'm busy browsing, roleplaying, and chatting with people. Yup.
 
I always check twitter first before anything else. Every time I go on the internet I always check twitter to see what's up and stuff. Then I open two tabs: PC and Facebook. I'm usually paying more attention to PC than Facebook so I don't know why I have that open. xD Then I open three other forum sites in different tabs, and Tumblr later on (if I remember). So I now have a total of 5-6 tabs open. I'm such a multitasker.

Alongside that, I have IRC, MSN and sometimes skype open. :)
 
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.​

First, I check GMail
Secondly, I check my webcomics
Thirdly, I act on the "actionable" items in my inbox, which is either:
  • Messages from friends/things that need a response
  • Articles I want to clip to Evernote
  • Something else I need to do something about (like eBay notifications, etc)
Fourthly, I just piss around until I need to go to class or yoga.

Love is the Law, Love under Will.​
