What is your Current AFK activity?

I was wondering this earlier.

Sometimes, you just need to go AFK for food / bathroom / phone or whatever, but other times, you go AFK just to be AFK. Doing World Quest (To do world quest, not doing WQ because its all you can do because of other activities. You should know what I mean anyway xD), Waiting those 10 minutes for Crazy Stone or Warsong BH, or simply waiting out your far too long SL.

So the question is, what do you DO whilst AFK? Do you listen to music, chat on MSN etc, play console games or other PC games, cruise Ebay, assemble a shopping list....? If its something temporary like watching a certain anime, then state it as so but otherwise, tell us what you do :O

Imma guessing cruising these forums is going to be pretty common :P

Oh, if it involves logging off, its not AFK, just incase someone thinks that P:

---

Personally I go nap (I tire randomly), cruise the forums and watch anime. Currently im watching Gurren Lagann for my anime.

    I used to AFK alot ingame, about 80% of my online time was being AFK, only to see if I was needed in a Nirv or TT run and catshop goods.

    Now I just log off when I know I'll be gone or AFK for long periods of time.

    I still roam the forums when I can though. b:chuckle

    "Addicted"

    I go afk for : Bathroom rush, shower, prepare food, make coffee, read forums if I see no one needs me.

    Else i'm on. Like 14-18 hours a day, farming/grinding/helping.

    Till my nervous system shuts me down, and even then...does happen I "intend" to go to sleep but get a help call at last moment and i'm like "ok why not...but then bed" and I go on doing something after and eventually crash...

    Ya I don't work, no kids, no in-home obligations (except keeping it clean).

    I don't live with my girlfriend right now (and in game wife) but when I will..."afk" will mean something else , lol

    I have a husband, 4 pets and 2 kids so when I afk it can be 10 minutes or 10 hours. Usually I just log in and have bursts of activity throughout the day. Thankfully my awesome guildies are understanding of this though a couple on my fl less so.
