Off-Topic

Playing and watching football (or "sawker"), vidju gaming and skiing.

Video games, sports (mostly watching; some playing), listening to music, reading and writing. That about covers it.

I read a whoooole ton. I play games, too, though not as much as I used to. Comes and goes in spurts.

@litrock: What kind of books? I'm always on the look out for a new author and such because I eventually get into a habit of reading random history books.

@FinalDasa: I read a whole bunch and very widely, though I had lapsed really bad the past year and have only now gotten back into the habit of a steady diet of books. I like all sorts of things, though, so ... well, here's the goodreads profile if you want a fullish list: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/933093-matt

@litrock: Wooo! Another Goodreads user! I added you as a friend.

Music and sound.

I make electronic music and classical/ambient/soundtrack-ish music pretty much every day unless I'm too busy with work. I'm 6 months (maybe 12 months depending on whether or not I get an idea for my thesis before March) away from getting my masters in audio design so sound and music are a pretty big parts of my life. Here's an example of something soundtrack-ish I've made:

Glad you liked it :)

I always feel so boring listing off my hobbies. Video games, music, history/geography...all generic shit. I really want to get deeper into reading, but I'm so indecisive. I've barely cracked the world of books and it is always so daunting to try and randomly pick out a book to read. I end up going into the book store and just becoming completely overwhelmed and leaving with nothing.

I have a borderline obsession with reading comic books. I also play video games and argue on the internet.

I collect lint from dryers and knit them into sweaters for the wee folk running around my apartment.

No, I dabble a little in doing a bit of comic, fantasy and pin-up style art in various mediums.

MMA Gaming and the Internet love me that nerdy stuff

Semi-professional drummist. Book enthusiast.

Video games, though they've taken a bit of a back seat since I started my Miyazaki Marathon and watching other movies too. I'm trying to get back into reading more though it's a slippery slope. I also do martial arts (Tae Kwon Do & Kyuki Do) and enjoy tennis (though I'm not that great at it).

All the usual stuff, vidya games, music, watching sports, reading (never as much as I'd like as I'm an impatient reader (when reading a book I've more than once found myself staring at it and saying (actually speaking out loud) "I want you in me right now!") but when I read for pleasure I read very, very slowly (other laments I've made to books "I wish I could just breathe you in and be done with you. If I could role you up and smoke you I would.".) Also my eyes are failing me (they've always been poor, they're just getting worse), and at 25 I don't like that reminder of my own mortality.)

I try to write on occasion, but that generally goes poorly. I've yet to write something I like.

I gamble. Poker. That was easier until online poker went and got done in by the guver'ment. Dang guver'ment! Now it's just an occasional trip to Foxwoods casino a couple hours drive away, as small time gamblin with my buddies doesn't scratch that itch. I don't get the same rush. I need that rush to make me feel alive!

I'll snowboard on occasion. Maybe shoot some hoops.

Man I hope people read this. I'm more proud of this post than I am of any of my legitimate attempts at writing.

I drum, and I write screenplays that I never intend to get made, just for fun and because I guess I'd like to do that when I leave uni. It's surprisingly fun.

Film is probably my greatest love, but music is right up there with it. If not I'm watching a movie, I'm almost always listening to music of some kind. Other than that, video games occasionally (Dark Souls pulled me back in... before that, the last game I bought & spent any significant amount of time with was Fallout 3), reading (although I don't do nearly enough as I should), and photography.
