When im at work and have sat down for a long day of slacking the first thing I do after logging on is pick up the same pen to fiddle with while I work. Its a lovely double ender of a graphics pen.

At home I'll sit and play with my balls

How about you

Mainly while on the computer.

Violin. Typing. Writing. Painting. Drawing. Punching out chaves and misogynists. And much more besides.

I was thinking generally while on the computer.

Masturbate.

And uhm...

Yeah pretty much that.

Sometimes I like to draw. I used to pretty good at it, but I've had exactly zero motivation or inspiration to do anything related to visual arts in like the past year. So yeah... That's about it. Sometimes at the sametime.

I also tap out the rythmn of the music I am listening to often.

Multitasking is such a skill.

I seem to stroke my chin a lot. Odd.

i practice my micro bitches!

I seem to be some sort of rhythm addict, and continually drum out patterns on my folder and keyboard. Even now, as I'm typing this my feet are tap-tip-tapping away, and even my typing has a strange sort of cadence to it.

I honestly thought this was going to be a thread about what you do with your hands at a gig. Seriously, when everything gets going it's fine because you can wave them in the air and dance, but when the support bands are warming up, it's hard to know what to do. Fold them? In the pockets? I can never decide.

Right now though, and for a lot of the time during the day, they're tapping away at my keyboard. When I get home, they fumble around with a mug and a kettle and then wrap themselves snugly around a 360 controller. Oh, and I have a habit of cracking my knuckles, so they make a lot of noise sometimes.

cracking my knucles or running them through my hair, hoping the action would make them smoother...

Fingering multiple women.
Hmmm. Yeah... I Wish

I do various tricks with pencils (twirl it around my thumb and then catch it. Move it between the spaces between my fingers just by raising and lowering my fingers (like what they do with pokerchips sort of) balancing it vetical on one finger ect.) But I don't do any of that while I'm on the computer. I do stuff like that while I'm bored at school or something.

On the computer I mostly just have one hand on the mouse and the other sort chilling on the table. Occasionally I stroke my beard like an evil genious. That's about it.

Straightening out my beard (when I have one), drumming music (particularly while I'm listening to it), readjusting clothes, typing up long rants vaguely reminescent of Yahtzee (which is odd, because I've been writing like that since well before I read his stuff). Oh and a bit of fap I guess.

Oh! And cracking knuckles. A lot. And stretching my arms a lot. Recently got into manual labour, so lots of stretching and warm-downs in the hopes that I'll still have functioning articulation at the end of it.

Does biting my nails count?

Also, speaking of zero motivation, did you guys catch Zero Coordination on PO? I wonder what his Trilbiheadedness thought of it.

don't do it if you can't spell it

You mean to keep my hands busy? I crack my knuckles and stroke my beard, usually. When I get frustrated I tend to run my fingers through my hair.

beard stroking seems popular.. and i do it too (tho, people tend to shout at me, apparently i do it ALOT)
other than that, i'm usualy smoking, eating, or drinking...

My hands spend most of their time around a 360 controller.

Im supprised hust how popular beard stroking is.

I find it helps me think

I try not to keep any dice or similarly dimensioned objects around my general area, as I start fiddling with them and I can't stop.

Failing that, I do some pretty amazing stuff to my lips.

The Hotshot card cut (one handed, flick out a card)

It took me ages to learn and now i just practice for speed.

Makes you a poker legend around the group and makes any Magic: the Gathering get together an awesome social event.

My free hand is usually stroking my pussy.

He's an awesome cat.

I stroke my imaginary beard every so often, re-arrange balls, tap things when I can't think of how to articulate a sentence. And of course masturbate. Maybe crack my knuckles before I start typing. Oh and if I'm in one of my homes I'll be pushing a cat aside who seems to be in love with the monitor.

Shadow puppets... look! deformed rabbit!

also punching, poking, pointing, typing and in general eating.
Wish i had a beard to stroke :(

Shave alot, it'll come in quicker. I often stroke my beard, but its only bushy enough around the chin, the rest is a chin-strap.

Video games and playing guitar, and pounding 4 foot steel bars... Land Surveying is fun.

So -that's- what they call it these days.

I play with scissors/pens/hair clips/pliers/calculators ect.

Basicly everything i can find on my computer desk at any given time.

P.S. does playing with things with your feet count?

Deffinatly, and you win your very own internet if you can play chopstick on a keyboard with you feet and provie evidence.

fuck, no beard.

Well since my hands are smarter then my head I let them do what they please. Normally it all goes very well where only on occasion I find little cuts and nicks, spots of mysterious white goo, or a bloody yet unsharpened sword or dagger.

And the best part? He doesn't know I'm typing this right now....
