Okay, computers and video games and everything electronic aside. And sex. So those things out. What do you like to do for fun?
For me, ballet, ice skate, talk with friends, dance ballroom, write, and shop.

Watch sports. In particular hockey. I do some sports writing and analysis. I'm also a big College Football fan. But lately, hockey has been my life.
I also listen to AM Radio all day long. At school, I'm the Assistant Music Director for our radio station, and I've become obsessed with talk and sports radio.

Guitar's okay. If you can play electric, you can play accoustic, right?

Yea but I don't own an acoustic. I do shop quite a bit but its almost always tech related.

Nope got to have electricity, lost power for afew days a couple months ago and ran an extension cord to the neighbors so I could have power.
I lost contact with all my old friends so no one to do stuff with. Though myspace has allowed me to be in contact with a few of my old friends havn't had the chance to meet up with them though.

Last time I went to a tennis court was with Nick and his dog and balls were thrown for Max to fetch. Tennis rocks.

Oh man...As people post I think of what I do. Paintball is hella fun with a bunch of people. We usually try and play and its like 2 v 2 which sucks but when we finally get like a 5 v 5 game going its awesome. I want to play at one of those places with the big blow up things. I have only played in the woods.

You've mistaken me for someone with a lot of time. I do photography, which is pretty technical. I brew beer. That's a bit technical too. I also like to go hiking and camping. Mostly because it's a good opportunity to take pictures and drink beer.

Hobbies?? Who has time for hobbies ... I work too much.
I enjoy cooking, and the end result which is eating.
I enjoy watching movies - as a confirmed couch potatoe with a great home theatre, it means watching movies at home. Going along with the cooking - it makes it dinner and a movie.
I also enjoy doing lead light / stained glass work. I have designed a stained glass pattern based on this (http://www.paletaworld.org/dbimages/3548_1.jpg) that I want to make as a large 3'x4' panel ... but I need a workshop to do it.
This weekend, I need to tear down drywall and insult an exterior wall so that our pipes don't freeze again. While the drywall is down. I am going to pull powercables to the far wall of the garage, and setup a workshop area, specifically so that I can set up my stained glass work and leave it there. It will also let me do some wood work ... which I also enjoy (but suck at).
Why stained glass?? It is a mechanical artform. Lots of engineering invovled, and you get to use some cool tools ... and working with glass is just lots of fun.

Wow. So many of the things I like to do involve some kind of tech, so it's hard to say but I do love myself some beach time. I like going to concerts or shows and maintaining two planted aquariums (that is real technical in essence though). I like playing tennis too but no one it seems ever wants to play with me. And if I had the space in my apartment, I'd soooo get a table tennis thing set up!
