I paint little model aircraft and tanks and attempt making dioramas. Reading is huge for me, so is tennis and video games. Come to think of it, I have too many hobbies, its a shame they are mostly pretty geeky.

Reading, writing, fishing, mast- actually, on second thoughts...

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

Tabletop RPG's is my second main hobby, Werewolf the Apocalypse and my own fantasy setting mainly.

I also read, write, have a 360 which I use off and on, Playing a lot of Lego Harry Potter atm

MMO's, mainly World of Warcraft, well until Champions goes f2p, then that might see some action while I wait for the World of Darkness MMO and 40K in 2012.

Making gaming scenery, I actually see this as a side hobby as I can spend a lot of time on it.

Music, movies and some tv. (Comedy, History and Science stuff mainly.)

I garden, cook, and play A LOT of LoL. Oh, I also have a tidy little grow up and running in my closet. Tending the plants takes time, not sure if I'd call it a hobby though.

The Last Chancer Who Survived





Norristown, PA

I like movies/home theater kinda stuff, video games, playing with my dog and around the holidays I turn into a big train buff. I have a 0 gauge xmas train that I set up every year and I'm sure I'll be adding a little bit to it every year. I doubt I'll ever have a place big enough for a big train layout in the basement, but I might look into something more permanent with smaller scale trains, like N or maybe even Z.

Longtime Dakkanaut





Bournemouth, UK

In to my archery, photography and 3D design at the moment. Trying to get my 3D skills & Photography up to speed so that I can offer that as a freelance service.

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

Music! I've played bass and harmonica forever and finally got around to picking up guitar and washboard. Some others I've dabbled in enough to play basic amounts are mandolin, banjo, bongos and piano. Other than that I'm a socialite and networker at a hobby level. That openness and being able to bring people together has paid off infinitely and led to my last hobby. Sex is definitely a hobby for me. I love doing research, getting new devices and interacting with different kinds of people. I love getting to know people

Worship me.

Waste of braincell's? I know what that stuff can do to people, I've had 2 friends in a clinic because they became addicted, and yes, it is an addictive substance, just not physically, mentally is another thing though most people leave that part out.

That said, I smoked the gak for 4 years, and then I became 18, so I could actually just legally buy it at a coffee shop, and I became bored of it (what a suprise there). Then I did shrooms for 2 years I think, same ending.

Now I don't touch anything except an occasional beer etc.

I do work with the stuff though lol, I work for the biggest herbal drug supplier in the country
