How do YOU spend 2XP Weekends?

Fridays I've been playing a beam/time corrupter on Justice, so I expect I'll be doing that during 2xp as well. Saturday I'll do what I can to get my warshade from 45 to 50. I'm not optimistic. I know some people do really well with warshades, but I'm not one of them. Sunday I normally play with a group of regular friends, so I reckon that won't change.
I'll also try to make a little extra inf off the market, as usual, if I can find the time to prepare in advance.

My oldest character, a seven year vet I created barely a month after release, and my forum namesake is only level 32. I plan on getting her to at least level 33; maybe even 34.
your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.
Depends.
If I have characters under 50, leveling them.
If I don't have characters under 50, playing missions with my wife to level her characters.

How do I spend 2XP weekends?
Playing another game. Or reading a book. But then, I'm one of those weirdos who turns off XP frequently...
I'll play Friday and Sunday for sure.

The Resistance has boobs too, and better hair!
I've got some 35s I'd like to build up. Most likely the Peacebringer (which I don't enjoy playing that much) and contoller (because I'm likely to find teammates; Force Fields is kinda worthless when you're solo.)
Total Characters: 120
Lowest Level: 1, Luke Johnson (Staff/WP Brute, Virtue)
Assuming i22 hits before then, I'll be leveling a new Dark/Dark dominator. Assuming Staff is around before then, I'm gonna need more time and less pants.

I22 Out, with a new MM Primary, Staff set, Dark Controllers, fixes to Gravity Control AND the Bonus XP boosters STACK with double XP?
*Dashes off to apply for vacation time during the whole weekend!*
Mwahahahahahaha! Sales of energy drinks just doubled!
"Comics, you're not a Mastermind...you're an Overlord!"
Dependant on what the WST is that weekend (and whether or not the bonus multiplies with DXP), I'll most likely be trying to get as many of my mid level toons to lvl35 - getting them over the drag that kicks in around lvl30* - and to the all important 'sweet spot' for things like MSRs, ITFs etc...
DXP w/ends always have a higher player count, so there's more teaming / TF actions going on, so I hope to get some older toons over the lvl35 hump.
Of course, that plan will go to pot, and I'll probably waste it farting around with concept toons based on bad puns that I end up scrapping after a few hours. So no different from any other weekend
*As I percieve it, anyway

"Business as usual."
The missus and I have joked about "cancelling everything" for 2xp weekends, but the reality is we haven't taken advantage of the last few at all. Despite the buildup, we go about doing what we usually do. Leveling fast just isn't something that drives me to play the game.

From the moment it gets turned on, till the second it'll be turned off...
Phone off, lights out, snacks handy, enough drinks, enough smokes, door locked, no sleep.. and dead to the outside world for a few days!
I got two 40's i wanna make 50, and an army of tweens that need some love.
I guess Nephila will be unused that weekend.. for the 1st time in about a year and a half that i will lock him out of game time.. going to feel different.

If I have time and energy to devote to playing, I play whichever characters strike my fancy. I rarely plan these things out - they happen as they happen.
I think the last few times I barely played, if at all.

Locked out of the full server.
What you might want to think about is transfering to a slightly smaller population server for the weekend and then transfering back. (I realize thats a pain but it's an option)

How do YOU use your time on double xp weekends? Do you level the lowbies, push on to 50 or something in between?
Although i might go as far as sticking to my highest sub-50 toon, I guess i might as well make use of the extra boost towards 50.
