Hobbies, hmm.
I draw a lot, I play rhythm guitar in a band, I draw, I read books, I listen to music a whole lot... Oh, I draw sometimes, too.
I play videogames, sometimes I just sit around and do nothing. I have many hobbies.
I, too, go to school, but I wouldn't really call that a hobby...

sedriss

partying, playing the guitar and inventing new magictricks.
By the time you read this you've already read it.

Bernie

Drawing, making adventures (AGS) and platform games (MMF) and listening to music while doing so.

Mobile devices and technology rule the other part of my life and then there is the woman factor that takes a bit of a chunk out of it too...

Paper Carnival

Well I used to love making games... Now I don't find a joy in it for an unknown reason. I suppose it's that drawing my own gfx takes too much time and I never managed to find an artist to help me with it. The only game I completely finished was nice, but since it was a puzzle game and I'm still a kid I couldn't make any interesting levels, so I gave up after the fifth.

Right now I love music and I'm learning the electric guitar. I also enjoy just being online

Favourite bands: Disciple, Tourniquet, Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, System of a Down and more

Hobbies? Oh god.

I read, write (novels, short stories, poems, scripts and songs), act, sing, play piano, collect vintage fantasy novels, collect comic books, collect rocks, study Celtic, Egyptian and Classical myths, listen to music (mostly weird stuff like They Might Be Giants, Arrogant Worms or Lemon Demon, or Celt-Rock like Dropkick Murphys, Enter the Haggis or Mudmen). I sew, cook, and I've recently become interested in thrifting. I do country dancing- we're talking renaissance dances here, NOT line or square dancing. I go to renaissance festivals and until I started getting really creeped out by the baron (head of the group), was a member of the SCA.

Oh yeah, and I STILL manage to have a social life, a job, and get reasonable marks. I just don't sleep.
Sssshhhh!!! No sex please, we're British!!- Pumaman

Andail

I sometimes take a walk around a nearby lake.
I also trim dogs for professional dog shows.

The dog thing is not true.

That's not what you're mom says! Zing!

Um...I, too, attend classes, if I wake up. Watch tv, mess around on my computer, programing here and there. I enjoy chess, and other mind-logical puzzles. I play a weekly game of poker. I fraternize with my fraternity (Band service fraternity). And generally just slob about.

MrColossal

and mills will school you at chess and then school you at poker...

only after making up a bunch of fakey rules for poker like whatever "The River" is and "Dealer has to take off an article of clothing if he deals a jack of spades."

Meanwhile, this is everything I do.

Pumaman

I walk around randomly scaring old ladies and standing menacingly in underpasses.

Dart

When you're in the International Baccalaureate program in high school, there isn't any time for hobbies.

BUT, whenever I do get a free second or so (which is quite rare), I practise archery with my bow, skateboard if it's summer, play video/computer games (Legend of Zelda and Quake III Arena, w00t), do stupid stuff with my friends like biting into bars of soap, and devise ways to get out of IB and visit Ottawa.

Oh, I'm also trying to learn Hebrew now as a side-hobby, but it's so hard to learn. Stupid grammar rules. ._.

Blackthorne

I drink.  I smoke.  I listen to music while drinking and smoking, in the corner of a bar, usually. I don't drink and smoke as much as I used to.  I barely do either now, at least not in the quanitites I would like to.  But a beer and a smoke a night will have to suffice.  Sometimes I play guitar - a little.  Or piano, if the mood strikes me.  I read quite a bit.  I love film, and I watch them constantly.  I also write screenplays, stageplays and comedic bits when I get a chance.  I've directed some short films, I've recorded an album, and I once published a comic book with a friend.  I enjoy long walks off of short piers, and inhaling ocean water through my noses.  I like running backwards, naked, through corn fields.  I also enjoy plowing tobacco fields with my bare hands.  I've been known to collect wax paper wrapping from McDonalds, and I have a teeth collection.  Most are my own from when I was a kid, but once I stole my neighbors dentures.  They're in there too.  I also collect 8Bit NES stuff, but so far, I only have an NES and a copy of 'Rolling Thunder' by Tengen.  I want a banjo, and I have a fiddle.  I write incredibly bad love poetry for everyone except my girlfriend.  My mailbox number is 474, PM me if you wanna chat.

I notice none of you has said "I spend 6 hours a day on IRC" yet.

Apart from AGS, I read, listen to music, watch movies, play a LOT of Counter-Strike: Source as well as other games. I also spend far more than 6 hours a day on IRC. Aside from all that, I'm a 2nd-year university student.

Read a lot. Write a little. Listen to lots of music. Talk on msn. Sit around in #ags. Occasionaly i go into this so called 'outside' place. I'm not sure if anyone here willl have heard of it. But apparently there's this big ball called 'the sun' and it gives off 'natural light' Yeah, I thought it sounded weird too.

I work everyday teaching English to little Japanese kids who view me as more of a jungle gym than a teacher (I know this is about hobbies, but this is too fun to be thought of as a job).  When I have periods off, I'm working on my AGS game, or browsing these forums for tips and, very rarely, posting.  I used to use my free periods to work on my website (Flash programming is another hobby) http://www.omahatookinawa.com but for the last month, all of my creative juices have been poured into AGS, so I haven't updated it in quite some time.

As for this strange "outside" place that Alec speaks of.  I have discovered it ever since I moved to this sunny beautiful island of Okinawa.  I go to the beach when I can, and last week I started surfing lessons.

Oh, yeah, and there's that whole girlfriend thing that takes up some time, too...

Kinoko

Man, I can't wait until teaching kids English is my hobby ^_^ (fingers crossed)
