haha =D Time whizzed by when we least expected it.. lol =D It's often the case when i'm watching a good movie on tv and before i realize it, it's already past 4am when i felt like i have barely watched more than 1 hour.. lol =D BUt when we are not interested in things, even a minute seem like forever to pass by and it's frustrating to count by the seconds.. lol =D

That describes most of my evenings in front of the computer. I think I should go to bed, but then I do not, and then it is midnight.

That happens to me mostly when I am on the PC. I tend to get involved! I remember one time, 1995, my brother gave my son DOOM PC game. I am not a gamer but thought I'd give it a try and see what everyone is going on about. I of course, couldn't play it properly, so I set all the controls to things like "constant life" meaning I couldn't get "killed" or have to go back to the beginning after being killed 3 times. Full ammo...just the ultimate of everything. I had it like that all the time. Okay, kind of fun if I didn't have to keep starting over. One day I took the kids to school at 8am and came home and started to play....I looked up and it was 2:30! I have to pick them up at 2:30! I thought I'd lost my mind! But it was. I had literally sat there all day playing that stupid game. did I make it to the ultimate level? Not that day but I did eventually, and it was such a let down to have "won" I thought, good grief...why'd I waste my time! And I never played that or any other PC game again!

Same situation happens to me all the time especially when I'm enjoying what I do, I normally don't notice the time and when I look at my watch or the clock or the time on my phone I usually end up surprised because of the time that had passed without me knowing. This usually happens when I'm doing my online work, when I'm talking to someone over the phone, when I'm in an interesting conversation with friends, when I'm at a party or any sort of celebration and when I'm reviewing for a lesson during major exam (I don't enjoy this particular one but time flies so fast when I'm studying during a major exam) and most of the time I wanted to pull back the time to where it was when I started doing those activities I have mentioned. I usually end up contemplating on the saying "So many things to do, so little time".

Well it's the same to everyone. That's what they say right? Time flies when you are having fun. And i swear to god that when i study time seems to take an eternity to reach an hour. That really hurts me a lot. Because my dad wakes me up and asks me to sit and study at home for a long time which i really hate doing! Why does time go so slowly? I hate it! I look at the clock every second and realizes that just a second has passed. How slowly it moves! Cheers!

This happens to me all the time. When ever I read my books I get so into the characters. For example I read only a few words then after two hours of non real world time, I realize that I've read almost the whole book that I start. It really helps pass time when I'm waiting for a new show coming on. Does anybody else get so into there books?

All the time especially when I am on the computer, time just seems to run away...I guess it is a sign you are having fun because when time drags is usually the bad times..

That's what happens when you're enjoying what you're doing.^_^ Ive had that feeling too. It is mostly when Im with the people that I love and we're out or something or just hanging out and talking. Time really just flies by when you're with the people who matter. That's just what I think anyways.^_^

It has happened once or twice. But it usually doesn't really happen very often though. For one reason or another, it doesn't really.

Oh that is so sweet. It reminds me of the time way back when we used to talk for hours, literally, to your boyfriends. The time just seemed to fly buy. It is still the same with your husband. Nice. You are lucky it was only 30 minutes....not 30 years.

Hiya jugs, Definitely yes I have done that all this past Week. My watch is losing time again because the Battery needs replacing yet again and I keep thinking that it´s a certain time and I have to keep checking with the ordinary Clock in our Room. So I have had to be very careful not to let the time fly too much. Have been very busy with one thing or the other. My can time fly and you don´t know where to.

That happens to me all of the time when I am on Mylot. Actually whenever I am on the computer, but it seems to happen more when I am on Mylot. I get on right after dinner, sometimes before I even do the dishes and before I know it, I am tired and it is bedtime.

This is something that tends to happen to me on a regular basis. In fact, it is something that happened to me today. I had my monthly crafting evening today with my crafting group and it seemed like absolutely no time had passed between the time that I got there and when it was time to go at the end of the meeting. It is good at times that time seems to fly by, but there are other times that this is not such a good thing to have happen.

I think this happens to me when I do myLot at home. I would do a few responses, and would do a couple more before I head to bed. Only to realize that I've had a few more posts than I should have. And that time just went by too fast. Soon I'd find that I didn't have enough time for sleep!

This usually happens to me when I am deeply engrossed in some work and the time flies by. That happens even when I am with people I like and we chat for hours together. When there is a get together of friends and family, oh, it is such fun that we feel even those few hours we spent together were like just few minutes. And wish we had more time to spend!

Yes, i'm always experiencing that especially when i'm busy. There are many times i said i would work another 30mins on something before going for lunch or bed, but time end up passing so fast it's 1-2 hours after my targetted time. I'm just too engrossed in whatever i'm doing and so time just slipped pass without me realising it. There are times whereby i even set alarm to remind me, but it's of no use too.
