Ever have that feeling where you don't want to game, don't want to read, don't want to move?

I get it from time to time. Do you ever indulge in it?

Once I just lay in bed thinking for three hours because there were too many things I had to procrastinate from doing at once. Came up with some story ideas that I scrapped. Thought of a few posts for the Escapist that I ended up posting and watch sink.

So yeah, how slothlike have you ever been?

Sometimes I wake up from a nice dream and I spend hours trying to get back to it.

Other times I come up with elaborate games that I've always wanted to play but sadly don't exist. Usually I have to pace when I'm thinking though, it seems difficult to think unless I'm actively walking around. No idea why.

But yeah, I know that apathy. Sometimes I just flip through various sites I like (including the Escapist) as well as some sites that are clearly just a waste of time.

I wish someone would make my damn space game. I'd do it myself but... you know... slothful.

I......have not......been slothful.......at all.

Seriously, though, I don't have a clue, because I regard thinking as productivity.

Uh, no. I don't. I usually have moods where I don't want to game or sit, and just end up browsing websites like Cracked and Reddit, reading shit that has no significance to my life.

Somehow time flies faster when I do that than anything else.

I regard thought without action as doing nothing. I don't think anyone can really not think of anything. Well at least without meditation and stuff I'm not sure that works...

I usually just listen to some Chemical Brothers and create weird experiments in Game Maker. Or, yknow, nap.

Just the words "nothing at all" make me thing about that bit in the Simpsons. Stupid sexy Flanders.

Actually no. And if I have had one of those moments, it must've been long ago. At the moment, the only times I do nothing is when I've got nothing to do, and I hate those moments.

I did that last night. And many nights, really.

But last night I just laid in bed for a couple of hours before I went to sleep. Not tired and trying to go to sleep, but just because that was the comfiest place to be. Just lying there, staring at a wall.

And no, I wasn't on drugs. I just didn't feel like doing anything. I know that feel, bro.

I do that a lot, thats usually when I'm on Skype as I just can't be arsed to play a game or do anything.

Alas most of the time I have to do some work everyday so I can't say I'm very slothful at all

Quite often, normally I use the time to semi-meditate and play about in my head with any ideas I have at the time

I do that most of the night, not trying to sleep or anything just lay there and think about stuff, but that's ended badly since I only seem to sleep about 4 hours per day which I'm pretty sure is rather unhealthy.

You mean, while being awake? God, no. I spend most of my procrastination time on forums, which sort of qualifies as reading or writing... I guess.

Yeah, that happens to me a lot. When it does, my brain usually gets caught in a creativity singularity and starts making up sci-fi universes. Handy if I was any good at writing, which I'm not.

I frequently lie in bed for hours at a time, chasing pointless and often stupid thoughts around in my head. Usually about how lazy I'm being.

Yeah, sometimes. Often when I am on break, when I know I should be cramming in as much gaming time as possible, or when I am loaded up to my eyeballs with schoolwork. It always seems to come at the worst times... -_-

90% of the time that is me. Really, there is nothing else to say about it. I just lay there and don't even think. Hell, I just took a pause in typing this to do that. Nothing FTW.
