What do people around here do in their spare time (other than hanging around these forums, of course)?

Some of mine are:

- Playing the piano. Been at it for 14 years, but unfortunately I never got good at it. I enjoy it very much, though.
- Reading. I learnt to read when I was 3 and haven't stopped yet Big Grin
- Drawing. My skill is mediocre, but it's fun ^_^
- Playing games. I'm definetely no HC player, but I do enjoy a good rpg.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I grow veggies, and do a one piece irish folk band for my little dancing girls.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Hmmm..
  • Making chess sets, then selling them on eBay. Buy Now
  • Growing my hair.
  • Annoying my son by pretending I'm racist like Terry Jones' character clearing up after Mr. Creasote in The Meaning of Life.
  • Driving around the country taking my daughter to gigs.
  • Procrastinating about learning to play the guitar.
  • Programming in Delphi 7, php, javascript and whatever else I can get to work.
  • D.I.Y. dentistry.
  • Watching Babylon 5 from S01E01 and from the end of the shadow wars to the last episode at the same time.
  • Cosmology.
  • Bit of physics.
  • Astronomy.
  • Natural History.
  • Predicting the future of mankind over the next few million years.
  • Other stuff.

-Playing video games
-Writing(something I wish I did more of)
-Reading
-Listening to music(is that really a hobby?)
-Playing bass guitar(well not really playing it, but more using it to make noise in my basement)

Well, thanks for asking this question, because I have now come to the realization that I don't do shit with my life.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Sadly I don't play chess (I did try, but I sucked too badly) I just think they look badass

Those RC robots are pretty cool as well. Must suck if you build a robot and it gets torn to shreds, though
