What are your hobbies?

[Sun_Worshiper]

What do you do for fun or to take your mind off the stresses of life?

Chuck Norris movies.   Chuck does not wear a watch-- he decides what time it is.

Mostly, I bodybuild, read, hike/camp, play Magic: The Gathering, and watch horror movies. Since having the hatchling, however, I've not done much of the last three. But I look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when I can return to them properly.

I suppose that, at this point, I also publish as a hobby. Apparently I can't stop. =/

Reading, walking, bicycle riding, motorcycle riding, writing, and photography.  I've done a little bit of backpacking, but not in recent years.  The reading and walking aren't so much hobbies as compulsions.  But they're usually enjoyable compulsions.

I am a powerlifter. For relaxation and downtime I read science fiction/fantasy novels and play video games (mostly RPGs).

Performing music (vocal and instrumental), working with horses, and lots of reading for pleasure. I did take fencing lessons for a while and wouldn't mind getting back into it.

I love to work in the garden, but since most of my past 3 years have seen me mostly sidelined from walking and doing a lot of physical work, I crochet.  And crochet. And crochet.

Of course, when one crochets, one also has the hobbies of collecting yarn and crocheting patterns.

It probably sounds boring, but I love it, and it's saved my sanity (mostly) and gets my mind off other things.

I play basketball a few times a month. I also play chess online and do crossword puzzles. I am loosely part of a book club - although have not participated in a while.

I also exercise, read books, watch movies/tv, and go to restaurants, but I'm not sure I would classify those as hobbies exactly.

I have also left some hobbies behind, at least for now, such as biking and studying foreign languages.
