What's the very best way you could distract me right now?

Asked by asmonet (21445points) March 25th, 2009

I keep messing with my stitches and I need to stop. I want to do something that will distract me, what are your favorite flash games? Odd websites? Puzzle websites? Anything at all.

Besides Fluther, what are your favorite time wasters? Anything interactive is good.

How about Lexulous, Mo?

Video games. Because you need two hands and attention. If you don’t have a system, do you have any friends with a gameboy or DS you can borrow?

I’m also very pro-baking or other cooking. Baking generally takes two hands. And! You get a nice reward at the end. Make cupcakes and decorate each one differently.

Ah, before I read the details, I started forming a rather sinister and sexual comment.

I read a lot, so I don’t know if that would work for you. I read and write constantly. I also like @EmpressPixie‘s idea of baking cupcakes!

Yes, baking is a great idea! I had to bake & decorate cupcakes yesterday for a basketball party and it took hours!

Baking and video games are not options, I’m at home, stranded and all my fun stuff is in storage. Internet only. Normally, great suggestions! :)

@FGS: Why yes, I think it would. ;)

Read Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. It’s great. And free online.

I can pull my pants down. You’d be surprised at how it distracts the nuns!

Why isn’t fluther distraction enough? Where are your stitches? Why did you need them? You could ask us for research assignments. Then you’d have to be really creative in finding stuff. Like, could you find a video about the sexual habits of gophers? Or slugs?

@asmonet. I’m completely interactive. Start pushing my buttons and I turn out to be like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. Lots of surprises but nothing dangerous. =)

Have you tried Frenzic? You can get a free trial. So very addictive.

NewGrounds & Hulu are both good ways of wasting time online.
