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)

Reading, mostly fantasy or sci-fi.
Writing, just bits of random fiction here and there.

Searching for really horrible fanfictions of shows, books, or movies that I like and having a good laugh.

Watching and re-watching movies that I like.
Same goes for tv shows.

Messing with one of my cats. Preferably the big, fat, evil one.

I like running and swimming as far as physical activities.

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.)

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)

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'm sure you're all shocked. /heavy sarcasm

Reading profiles.

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.
