What's keeping you busy...?

Twilight Princess... about 3 months to go until we get our hands on that legendary game! What are you doing/reading/playing to keep yourself busy before it's release and also to get our obsessed(no offence to anyone ) mind off Zelda for at least a few hours a day?

I'm playing Tales of Symphonia(GC) & Tales of Phantasia(SNES) mainly until it's release. I just started ToS, and if I finnish before TP's release, I might start Baten Kaitos or continue to play Majora's Mask for my second time on CE.

And soon, the second of the Inheritance trilogy is to be released. Eldest, second to Eragon, is comming up this month! I'll be busy reading that. If you havent read the first, I really reccomend you do! (website)

Lastly, I have a job as a lifeguard & swim instructor at the local pool. I'm very busy with that.

That said,
how are YOU keeping your mind off TP? :cool:

well, I work and have a life, that's a start.

I'm just playing old Zelda games, WW, aLttP, etc. and reading a lot. I read a lot too, I'm almost finished Harry Potter 6! Also on the forums a lot.

Im playing zelda collectors because i got it to work now(majoras mask kept freezing), from getting a new gamecube so thats kept me busy. Also ive been revisiting minish cap and wind waker(with added tingle tuner heh heh), ive been able to play 4 player now with my mates getting a cube so thats kept me busy.

First time i've been on the forums for ages.Hi everyone!

Erm,just carrying on with my life as normal.To be perfectly honest,I didn't think about TP from the end of June till now,so i'm just biding my time.

I train in martial arts like muay Thai kickboxing, I am starting submission wrestling tomorrow, and I have been going to Zelda forums, and playing Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask inorder to make time pass. I really can't wait for Twilight Princess. I have been waiting for a long time and... it is just so far away!

I think he means as in games... what games are you playing untill TP comes.

For me, BattleField 2 is keeping me going at the moment its alot of fun. But I can see myself playing OoT again slowly untill TP comes out...

I work and play PSO and am online quite a bit(duh)

well in that case:

right now, I'm playing Psychonauts, Grim Fandango and FFXI.

I invest in a tent and a mini-fridge, camp outside the nearest Wall-Mart, while playing handhealds, and wait outside till that day.

(if you couldnt tell, that last sentance was HEAVY in the sarcasm)


But really people. I am one crazy fanatic when it comes to Zelda, but surely i can find ways to occupy myself before then heh.

Anyway, AP world History is really interesting, but its keeping me busy... So school in general you could say. And rutine visits to playing the older games i have on my NES.

diablo 2. or, old zelda games. i still play ocarina of time a lot

I'm occupying myself with Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life right now. Yeah, crazy wild fun stuff, like GTA, only mello. Right. Growing crops, man. And eating mushrooms that make you tiny. It's a wonderful life.

Well it was mainly directed towards more what games are you playing, cuz I hear alot of people saying "Im gonna play <game title(s)> to help wait for the release of <game title>. But if you have anything lifelike, go ahead and share.

I will play Guild Wars, Tales of Symphonia, maybe Ce (if I find it), Soul Calibur, SSBM, Mario kart, maybe SNES games, read books, forums, play with my ocarina when I will have it , go to school.... I think thats all....

I'm currently playing...er...replaying, a bunch of Zelda games. I just finished Master Quest the other day, and I've still got the second quest in the original Zelda to beat. Maybe sometime I'll spluge for the Oracle games and beat them.

Oh, and I'm playing Animal Crossing. But then again, that's a perpetual game.

let me see i read almost any thing i can get my hands on i am playing fire emblem in some of the free time and this week and next i am at band camp from 9am-5pm (for the first week second week is 9-9) please dont say any thing like "one time at band camp......." because i already know it and its kind of annoying now

wathcing movies over and over until i know the whole lines that the ppl say...also playing wind waker..and reading those gay books for school..

Battlefield 2 is a great time killer! I've been trying to beat Zelda I and II because I haven't beaten them yet

Well, I first found aout about Zelda TP in April....but knowing it was a long time until it would be released, I forced myself to forget about it.
Then, around the mid of July, I remembered it again and looked it up on the internet to see if there was any new info....and there was, which got me terribly excited...
Now I'm trying to forget about it again, because that seems to make time fly by way faster, but, alas, it is truly difficult. So I try passing the time by chatting in the forums, studying for my Learner's lisence, goin out with my friends, and getting ready for back to school (starting high school! ^.^). Ugh... since were freshman's this year in High School, my friends and I have to concentrate on not getting froshed, which I think will keep me busy for a good two weeks haha.
My grandparents also have a farm, which keeps me busy because all my animals need some love ^_^........ Oot and MM are also at the farm so I'm just playing around on those hehe.

I try to keep my mind on work. My job requires alot of effort, mind power, patience, memory, and most importantly sanity! And for those of you who are wondering what job requires all this, It's a tour guide.
