Hobbies?

So, Its all a question of "What do you do when you're not Sleeping, Eating, Learning/Sitting in a classroom staring out of the window, or doing nothing?"
What do you do to pass time?
Do you have an unusual hobby?
Tell us about them! Let the world know of your extraordinary activities!

I personally either make youtube videos from a limited amout of video clips and an endless supply of music (See my youtube channel XP) or I'm doing some flash-art.

I thought we had a topic on this a while back?  Anyways, my hobbies include: playing videos games, browsing my favorite sites, reading Harry Potter fanfiction (and plenty of real books, too), hanging out with friends, and the occasionally writing of said Harry Potter fanfiction (as well as accumulating notes on original stories), all interspersed with daydreaming and creating new story concepts.

Ironically enough, though this is the website I visit most often, I haven't really touched RMXP in a long while, but I do have plans to turn part of one of my favorite books into an episode (complete with voices).  I still have to sit down and write out the script, but I don't know how much time I will have to that along with wotk, the new semester starting soon, trying to convince my dad to let me get a new TV, and playing the shitload of video games I have (just got FFIV for the DS and am loving it).

Also add in working on the plot outline for the new version of my flagship HP fanfic project, Obsidian Phoenix (you can tell I really like HP, can't you?) and my other original writing projects: Darkfire, Crawling, OPiT, another as yet untitled project, and at least one more short story based on suicide.
 
hmm i like to play video games =]
kickboxing, lift, more video games, hang out with friends lol.
Not much going on in my life

Though i personally like to collect Magic: The Gathering cards haha
 
Harry Potter fanfiction?  That sounds interesting. 

I personally spend most of my time watching T.V., playing video games, and sleeping.  Most of that is caused by me needing recovery from various family things, like going to Atlantic City or having birthday parties (my mom's family is quite large).  I draw sometimes, although not so much anymore. 

I like making things - crafts and stuff.  I recently knit my friend a scarf, I can weave baskets, and I like to make jewelery with wire and beads.  I can make some pretty good stuff, and it usually saves me from having to buy stuff for my friends' birthdays.  My most prevalent hobby, though, is daydreaming, which leads to a lot of short stories and game ideas.
 
Awww, Guardian knits. :3

I write and read a lot, mainly SF with a side of dark fantasy. I also play video games, mainly RPGs and NetHack. I'm pretty good at NH and ascend regularly because I have no life. :( I also enjoy Wikipedia, DDR, and art. I draw occasionally and even more occasionally do space art in Photoshop. Then of course there's wasting time surfing the Internet, etc.
 
I play guitar and (attempt to) write music quite a bit.  Other than that, I read, watch tv (particularly Law & Order: Criminal Intent, if Vincent D'Onofrio is starring), play video games, daydream, or blindly Stumble through the internet.  I used to be into acting and making movies, but since my friend Jonathan moved away, I've never really found anyone stupid enough to make movies with. :/

It is.  FanFiction.net has one of the largest HP fanfic archives with more than 366,000 stories.  Be very careful of what you read, though.  Some of it is very bad.  Pretty much steer clear of anything that uses l33t speak in the title or summary.  some very good stories to check out are Saerry Snape's Not Myself (a Severitus style fic, but still very good.  It made me cry) and companion stories, S'TarKan's Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past (a timetravel fic where things start to go out of control), BlAcKdAuGhTeR's Diary of an Orphan (an AU fic told mostly from the point of view of Harry's long time friend, Jenna Black), Bungle in the Jungle: A Harry Potter Adventure by jbern (told completely in second person, and masterfully done), and many more.  PM me if you want to know of others.
 
rmxp and administration

drawing and music, playing bass and yelling into a microphone in ranges from screech to growl to really off note deep rasp voice that actually sounds kind of bluesy.  playing card games.  women.  collecting bras from said women.  Fetishism activities.  Videogames aren't really a hobby that's more of a pass time I'm not a big gamer, I rarely play anything these days my systems are collecting dust.  drink mixing, making different rum concoctions.  i actually enjoy sewing and am going to see about learning knitting with those big balls of yarn to make sweaters and crap from an old woman on my block.  arguing sides of arguments i started just to have a good argument.  i think i'm going to start doing knife tricks again, but i haven't really been all that unclumsy lately with my eye sight going more, so we'll see about that.

oh and filling our random posts for no reason other than to kill a few minutes till i head out.
 
on a serious note, webdesign, photoshop mockups and shit i find entertaining. i have way too many web designs and stuff that will never go anywhere.

i spent nearly 100% of my free time on irc. it's always open on my secondary monitor no matter what i'm doing

also i am a hardcore mtg fan even though i haven't actually played too much recently. i love the deckbuilding aspect and usually just take out all my cards and organize them and rebuild all my decks every couple of weeks, even if i haven't played in a long time.

i'm also a pretty avid masturbator

i like cooking!! but rarely cook much since we never have shit in this house.

i don't really have much time these days for anything though other than work :(

In high school when we weren't selling, smoking, or hunting down drugs this is essentially what we did other than messing around with chicks, listening to music, or try to start bands.
 
i like watching sports. my foxtel is pretty much constantly on fox sports1, fox sports 2 or...........fox sports 3. Ive come to the conclusion the only sports i wouldnt watch are; tennis, equestrian, basketball,netball, water polo, athletics and the beijing olympics.
 
cooking, woodworking (not penises), spamming this shithole, SOMETIMES drawing (i'm ok at it but most of the time my patience wears too thin to finish anything), making my fucking game (except it involves 243198359131=351-893590 hours of pixelling which is annoying), playing any video game i can get my hands on ................ uhhhhh

i used to like to do film editing too but i hav enothing to edit :(

currently i've been filling my time with tons of exercise but i don't like exercise ;(
 
Hmm.

Video games - mainly MMO's like RuneScape or Guild Wars; and also Final Fantasy (though I just got Dragon Quest for like £2.99, not played it yet though).

Warhammer 40k - I collect Adeptus Mechanicus / Imperial Guard.

Making websites, however rubbish they are.

And of course RMXP / posting here lots. (Hehe I always have ~ 2 posts more than Atemu for some reason)

sleeping is a great hobby of mine.

Reading, drawing, attempting to write (though it usually comes out miserably), violin, piano, singing, playing with my new guitar (I can't actually play it, the lower strings sound like shit)............mall ratting.....old-school gaming....ooh! And making cakes. :D  And miniatures, great fun.

EDIT: bah! Forgot translating.
