I'd hazard to guess the majority of forum users here are gamers, so outside of gaming (in all it's bloody forms, you pickers-of-nits) what are your hobbies and interests? Providing you have some outside of World of Warcraft [/cheapshot]
My unorganized list: - Music: listening, writing, sound design, music equipment, foley, etc - Reading: Fiction, Nonfiction, Technical, Graphic novels - Writing: Lyrics, bits of fiction, forum fluff, lengthy emails, brainstroming - Cycling: good excercise, fun, tinkery - Visual: Sketching, photoshopping, animating, photography, etc - Movies: Horror, cult, art, weird, etc - BDSM: if you have to ask, you probably don't want to know (plus, the Escapist is an all ages forum...?) - Psychotropics/Pharmacology: (see above) - Psychiatry / Psychology: liberal arts education + mental patient - Philosophy: All sorts of ideas, but I favor existentialism and its premutations
So basically my interests are in line with what one would expect of a unrepentant, mentally ill, drug abusing, audio-visually inclined pervert. Your turn(s)

Using basic Micro Economics, on forums or on campus, to break Marxists(Communists, Socialists, Conformist Che t-shirt jerks) Conservative anti-authoritarians(Libertarians, Randian Capitalists) Post-modern Anarchists(Anarchists, Anarcho-Capitalists, Marxist Anarchs), Radicals (Environmental Anarchists, psychos to crazy for PETA) Neo-Cons, Facists and anybody who supports Theocratic governence.
Aside from that I enjoy speculative fiction especially Lovecraft, Terry Pratchett, and Film which I have quite a wide and obscure knowledge of.
Acquiring the accumulated knowledge of humankind. I know. I'll probably never pull it off. But I do have a lifetime to try. (Maybe more, if reincarnation is true.)

My largest one is definately music, as that's what I'm going to college for. Music: vocals, song writing, playing on instruments (oboe, flute, picc, and keyboard) Boy Scouts: Almost eagle...... Foreign Languages: German's my favorite, I am also part of the German club (no jokes, please) Nerd-y games: Magic the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons every once in a while Card games: Texas Hold-em and Mao Debating: I love to hear the other side's point of view (if there is one) Movies: Fantasy (LotR), Mystery, Comedy, Sci-Fi Watching Abridged Serieses (if that's a word): Yugioh abridged, yu yu hakusho abridged, naruto abridged (yea, you get the point) Acting: Always in the school plays and musicals Religions/Philosophies: Finding out about each one (favorite is Norse paganism) Thinking about how things were created: From beings to words and phrases I'll edit the post when I think of more
I was going to say how you could just look at my profile, but I don't actually say any of my hobbies and interests. All the following are things I both participate in and observe.
My obsession: Film My passions: Music, democratic education, comics, visual art, literature, dancing, the stage (acting, generally), video games, current events/politics
I draw, write occasionally, listen to music, create music, and read. A lot. Mostly fantasy and sci-fi. As for physical activities, I fight with swords and run.
Seriously though, martial arts (see profile), music, break music in audacity. Thinking up completely fucking awesome game ideas then forgetting them when I go to write them down.
Conspiring to take over the world. Espousing ludicously extreme politics. Advocating the execution of HIV-positive sex offenders. Trying to convince people that helping the poor is only good when your helping them to work harder. Watching amusing things on the internet. Watching erotic (and in some nations, illegal) things on the internet. Drinking alcohol. Indulging in other substances. Contemplating why exactly muslim people are treat either as universally-mad homocidal fundamentalists or fragile, sensitive 'speicial interest groups' "with no apparant middle ground" Attempting to do as much work with as little effort possible. Building 1/72 scale aeroplanes (and abusing the maid if she damages them) The study and analysis of history. Reading anything that gets too close. Writing overly-violent fiction on internet forums. The occasional brawl or fistfight. Contemplating vengance on a kilometre-long list of enemies. Poker, Rummy, Whist and other such entertainments. Sporadic-compulsive videogaming. Wargaming with miniature soldiers.
-Playing my bass and listening to music take up a fair amount of time. -Playing games, obviously. -Playing football every now and again with some friends. -Drinking and drinking games are always fun. -Poker once in a blue moon. -Watching a LOT of films and going to the cinema. -When not doing any of the above, surfing the intertubes and posting on here.
I write comics, none that currently have artists, and some short fiction. I study history, mythology, religion and folklore. I write copious amounts of Pen and Paper Roleplay material I am designing a simple story based Adventure/RPG using the RPG maker program (mostly to see if I can actually do it) I read lots of fiction. I watch lots of movies. I like to Wall Climb and go cycling.
- I love playing music. I play most brass instruments and a little bass. - I like playing games. I like most games even though I'm terrible at RTS' - I like it when I want movies to never end. - I really like history and am currently majoring in it with hope of teaching eventually. - I am obsessed with England during the Interregnum for some reason. - Lastly, I love me a good sail.
