What did you do with your spare time before VMK?

[marypops!]

oh yes another thing i did in my spare time before (and still) vmk

SCHOOL!!!

when i come back home from school it would be about 3:20-3:30 OR 10:20-10:30




i watched the remember dreams do come true video of the LARGEST fireworks show disney has made and i do agree i think my best part was the star tours part
lasers :0

and i watched this strange video which someone made for mousetimes.com (or disneyforever.com) called soarin' over florida but it was cool

It seems like there are some people on VMK whenever I'm on there. And I'm on their quite a bit in the evenings. So I was wondering, what did everyone do with their spare time before they started playing VMK?

I find that I stay up later because I don't want to miss anything. LOL. Other than that, I used to play games on pogo in the evenings after work, or watch TV (but TV stinks--maybe something good will be on in the fall).

Jellyrolls

played BF:1942 alot more, now i split my time between vmk and BF

Well...I would practice a lot more during the weekends. I'm down to about 2 hours a day, which I'm good I'm supposed to be putting into 3-4. @_@ My clarinet teacher's been bugging me about that.

Anyways...I would spend a lot of time surfing the net for Disneyland specific stuff instead of VMK. And I was a bit more studious...hopefully VMK won't change too much of that. My parents would explode if my GPA went below 4.1 this year (with those 4 AP classes).

Hi, my name's Eric, and I'm a disavmkaholic (diss-a-vim-ka-hol-ic).

Before VMK (and DIS, for that matter), evening time was usually spent watching summer reruns with the wife or playing PS2.

In fact, I never would have heard of VMK if I we hadn't run out of Rice Krispies about a month ago.

"Hey, look at that! A cool skull and crossbones mouse offer on the Rice Krispies. Hmmm, Virtual Magic Kingdom? I wonder what that is. I'll have to check that out. Probably something for kids that I wouldn't enjoy."

Aaaaghhhh!! It consumes me! I can't stop playing! 7:00am (PST) never comes soon enough!! Somebody, PLEASE trade me teleportation!! Inferno!!! Heck, I'll take a Ned pin, just trade with me!!!!

OK, it's not that bad, but I do play a lot in the evening after the kids are in bed. In truth, I enjoy it, like all of you I'm sure. I do have fun helping the kids create their rooms/games and try to collect cool things for them. Yes, and for me too.

I surfed and the internet and spent a lot more time reading other areas of The Dis. Obsessively planing my Disney trips.

LOL! That's how I found VMK

I did not have spare time before VMK.

So, in order to play VMK, I now no longer eat or sleep. It frees up time to VMK.

What did I do before VMK?

Can you say WPASADI? (DISers will know what this is...for you who dont know it is an insane DIS game that sucks the life out of you!)

Okay...so that's what I've been doing wrong! I was wondering why I didn't get things done around the house!

See I was just going to sleep later and getting less of it....I didn't even think of eliminating all sleep! That would give me an extra 5-6 hours a day to pay bills, read e-mails, watch tv and do things around the house that I used to do before VMK!

Before VMK was neopets. Then a little MMORPG hopping (I never stay in one game for a very long time).Then Kingdom Hearts/SSBM/Mario Kart/Mario Party/Paper Mario/everything else that had Mario in it. Then there was Nick, Cartoon Network, and that awful Gold Miner game that I only played because VMK did not exist. And before all that was reading and watching TV.

Now you've got it! Welcome to my world!

And it works just great, until the delirium sets in. Then you have the choice between either sleeping or just drinking more coffee.

More coffee please.

In my spare time, I would go visit the following forum sites:

Pac-Chat
Little Ariel Forum
Aladdin: The Message Board
Disney Here, There, and Everywhere
Toon Zone Forums
Golden Age Cartoons Forums

And then I'd have a laugh or two with Homestar Runner

Then VMK came around, which led to DIS, and I have been simulataneously assimilated by both. The rest is history.

CS:S mostly.
I would say less TV, but I play VMK and watch TV at the same time. Unless it's playing Fireworks, which takes every ounce of concentration I have in my body.

Here's my only problem....I don't drink coffee! I guess I'll need to start drinking coffee or cokes all day long. Or maybe take NoDoz! Wait, no....I remember those in college for those all night study sessions...they put me to sleep! Okay, so can somebody tell me how to work this coffee pot??

I noticed that this was posted at 2am on a work night!

As far as coffee: If you drink lots of it you also have to eat lots of sugar for it to keep you awake (why do think coffee and donuts go so well together). If you drink LOTS of coffee without any sugar it will put you down very fast.

Note: I do like lots of coffee. With a dessert afterwards I can stay up a long time - without dessert I can go right to sleep.

So is that my problem??

Bob, you know that for months now I've been saying "No VMK closings on work nights!" It sounds good and all, but how many times have I actually acted on it!

I think my real problem is I am a night person and if I have any reason to be up, I'll be there! So I think my solution is either move to another time zone, win the lottery, or ask work if I can alter my work hours...say 2am to 10am. Yeah, that works! Gets me coming home around opening and having that one hour free after closing to shower!
