    Default hmmm

    Other hobbies:

    Basketball
    Watching Anime (Dragon Ball Z, Kenshin, Flame of Recca, Gundam, etc)
    Snorkeling
    Working out

    umm.... there are probably others but I wouldn't really classify them as hobbies, like shopping or watching tv...

    Hobbies ? ... yes, I used to have those, then college came along. Going out with friends isn't considered a hobby, is it ?

    Let me see, I used to like :
    • Mountain Biking
    • Rollerblading
    • Hockey
    • Reading (I haven't read a book for fun in like a year )
    • Anime (that I do find time for, mainly cause I can code and watch at the same time )
    • Games ... now that is seriously missing right now

    Drag Racing is a great rush. I have a 78 Camaro with a 383ci sbc that runs 9.60@139mph in the 1/4mile and 6.12@112mph in the 1/8mile. Im building a 91 Mustang Coupe right now that will be powerd by my Chevy motor from the Camaro. Its about 400lbs lighter so I hope to get in the 8.80@150mph range with a 200 shot of nitrous.

    Cool Models and MTB

    My main hobbies...

    Model building - I'm quite fond of spacecrafts and the "robotech" style models and dioramas.

    Graphic design - Building web sites, experimenting in Photoshop, creating images (on screen or "in the real world").

    Mountain biking - Every chance I get!

    But then again, how much free time do I really have? 10-hour days and being on call 1 week out of every 3 puts a tight clamp on available free time.

    And I DO have to spend some time with my wife and kids eventually... >

    Cool spare time

    In my spare time i lift weights, i seem to pull it off everyother day.

    I like playing video games! I recently modified my playstation. muhahahaha!

    I rent movies a lot.

    I go bowling ... catch a cheap movie at the theater, go to the local arcade...

    A real time user is playing Ultima Online! Sometimes i don't get to bed until 7am... (of course class isn't very fun when that happens)

    I haven't really read a book since i was in 5th grade.
    I think i have only read one book in my entire life...

    HRM .. u know basically i like to do anything i think might be fun.

    There isn't really a lot of things to do. Kinda depressing. So if you wanna cheer me up you can give me some "fun" ideas!

    Reading Sci-Fi and Fantasy is my next most favourite hobby- just finished "Prelude to Dune: House Harkonnen" by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson.
    Were any other readers of the prequel novels as disappointed as I was? Compared to the original "Dune" novels (by Frank Herbert), they absolutely sucked
