What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

[DesertMummy]

I love writing, hope to be a journalist some day
I skateboard, its a really fun thing to do with friends
I play basketball
I follow American politics pretty closely, and I don't even try to be unbiased
Regular 16 year old gut stuff, cars, movies, tv, books, girls, friends, and the like.

I am very interested in photography, and am trying to get better (lately I've been doing a lot of reading on it, and have wrote out a very expensive wishlist of new equipment I want >_>)

I also enjoy Anime; just got back from Minnesota's Anime Detour a week ago, awesome~

I read a bit, just finished the Hunger Games

One of these days I would love to try D&D (I know i have some friends who play it,)

 

[WaReloaded]

Well outside of gaming, I'm in a few bands in which I sing, play guitar, bass and the drums (although nowhere near as regularly as I'd like to). I consider myself an aspiring Writer as I spend a lot of my time working on lyrics for my musical projects, poetry for myself and novels in hopes of getting them published. I spend a bit of time at University and in some of my spare time I write for an Australian "newspaper" which I'm unable to name. I do a lot of walking at night, especially when it's cold and raining, but I assure you it's for self-medication and not some other overly, pretentious reason.

I like to vary up what I do:

• I'm a keen hockey player (field, not ice) and play twice weekly, down from five times weekly when I was playing club as well.
  
  I'm a big fan of music - eclectic taste with a core of indie rock. Spend a lot of time trying to find new music, and love going to concerts.
  I'm also trying to review the UK Top 10 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.365058-The-UK-Top-Ten-Review-09-04-12] weekly, give it a look!
  
  I read often and fast, but have a peculiar passion for teen fiction. Maybe it's just the pacing that appeals to me.
  
  I watch a lot of movies, of all different genres, often with my girlfriend.
  
  I watch lots of TV as well, though not of the sci-fi variety. Lots of sitcoms and other comedies, plus the occasional teen drama.
  
  I socialise, whether on the forums or just chatting to people I know. I'm a big fan of getting to know new people, just shy at introducing myself - an eternal conundrum. [small]Feel free to look me up for a chat! [/small]

 

[arnoldthebird]

Basketball, since November of last year I can dunk
Watching any decent film
And the rest would be my subjects at school, Chem, Physics, Ancient History and Mathematics.
And reading, if I can get a decent book then you can say goodbye to me until I have finished it.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

-I read a lot, my head is always buried in a book, or some comic.

-I play the violin, and I play in an orchestra. At the moment a friend of mine is teaching me cello.

-Cooking. Most of the time I'm too tired to make anything real fancy, but when I do, Goddamn it's yummy!

-Magic The Gathering, sadly I know no one around where I live that plays. I lost my old deck and I'm slowly building a new one.

 

[Whoatemysupper]

Playing piano and collecting chess sets. I only collect rare sets and only if they're from the country that they depict or are supposed to be from if replicas. My favourite is my Isle of Lewis ivory imitation resin chessmen.

 

[BathorysGraveland]

Listening to music is a big one. A short while back, I wanted to create and play music as well, but I have since lost the desire to do that aspect of it. So now, it's purely to listen to the music others have created, and this I do quite often.

I'm also an aspiring author, so of course I enjoy reading. I enjoy making work and progress on some of my own constructs as well, but that comes along very, very slowly.

This may seem odd to some, but thinking is another big one. Often I'll just pace around thinking about things, having conversations with myself in my head and general things like that.

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

Drawing, Writting, Listening to Music, Reading, Taking the piss out of things, learning about creepy fetishes and trying to figure out a way to earn a living drawing porn.

 

[Eddie the head]

I ride four wheelers. Half necessity half fun.

I shot guns.

I read a bit.

I also maintain generators but yeah necessity.

 

[Slenn]

I really like to draw on my Wacom tablet. However I have been preoccupied with organizing stuff for graduate schools and working with other classes and what not.

I also like to day dream a lot especially when listening to trance or ambient music.

 

[Launcelot111]

I've been on a big board game kick for the past few months.
I listen to music a ton. I play a little guitar as well, but not amount of practice could make me more than mediocre.
I play basketball when I can or even a little tennis if I'm lucky.
I like to cook, though I'm pretty much at the ground floor of that hobby. In related news, going out to eat is also a big hobby of mine.

 

[Dethenger]

My aspiration in life is, ultimately, to become the best version of myself I can be, which usually has to do with my understanding and interaction with the world. My hobbies either reflect that, or are coincidentally relevant. As far as understanding the world: I like drawing and listening to music, more importantly to gain an understanding of the principles behind songs and drawings. I like to understand what, exactly, the difference between this [http://plaza.fi/s/f/editor/images/legendofzelda_skywardsword_arv_01.jpg] and this [http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l815xuEJ5B1qd9fimo1_400.jpg] is, what aesthetics they enforce, and what those aesthetics achieve. I read books on whatever topics I'm interested in, mostly philosophy, because, as I said, I want to better understand the world. Well, actually, the more I read about something the more I understand that I understand very little, so I guess it's not so much about understanding as it is having a capable mind.
As far as interaction with the world, I write, draw, and work out. Writing is an interaction with the world of ideas, seeing if my perspective of the world is any good; drawing is an interaction between my mind and raw material, I guess; my mind making something in the physical world. Working out is purely an interaction with the physical world, because as my body is my only actual means of playing the the sandbox of the world, it may as well be a capable one.
