Snowboarding. If I was any better at surfing, I'd add that, but I just started this summer, and I teh stink.

[Tisket]

Have a new(ish) kid so I spend a lot of time being totally amazed by totally normal advances in development.

Have a new kid so I spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about the state of the world today. So much so that I am listing it as a hobby on a message board...

When our budget allows I have been learning to fly.

I paint (badly).

The rest is pretty much work and sleep.

[Hips]

reading, console gaming, d&d, fencing

[AnticorRifling]

If I'm not at work, at the gym or on the computer I'm naked. Hell sometimes I'm naked while at work or at the gym, and more often than not I'm naked while on the computer.

[CrystalTears]

I COULD HAVE LIVED MY ENTIRE LIFE WITHOUT KNOWING THIS!

Raids will be so different in my head now. kthx

[AnticorRifling]

Whatever, I just confirmed what you've always been hoping.

[Skirmisher]

I thought we were all naked while on the PC.

[Wezas]

Those of us who visit the PC from the office don't have the luxury.

I would like to imagine (most of) the PC & WoW female players playing either tropless or at least bra-less.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

It really depends on the indoor temperature whether I go topless or not while gaming. During the summer, you bet your ass, heh. It's a jungle!

[CrystalTears]

I game in my night shirt only.

Heh, you'd be surprised how so many of my NON-computer related activities are actually tied in to myspace. Pictures definitely. I am always taking new pictures to try to add to my myspace.

Reading - everytime I get a good book that I like, I'll blog about it. Same with movies.

Work is another hobby (heh yeah fun hobby) of mine that takes up a huge amount of time and I totally wind up blabbing on myspace about it.

So yeah, even if myspace is a computer thingie, I have a lot of non-computer stuff that ties in.

[Artha]

College.

[Berylla]

Working - Long hours at least 6 days a week
Cycling - big Lance Armstrong fan, I try to ride my Trek every morning
Reading - never enough books in the house
Genealogy - I inherited genealogy research from both of my Grandmothers, it took me 5 years to organize it all
Web Site Design/Graphics - My partner and I have our own business
Travel - I have a lot of international customers so I've been able to do quite a bit of traveling in the past 2 years, with much more planned
Handbells - yes, I'm a ding-a-ling
Choir - I sing with my church choir when I'm in town
Music
Cooking - I like to try new things
Taxi Driver - I am THE Mom taxi. Not so much this year, though, since my oldest just went off to college and my younger one is good at finding his own ride.

[Back]

So few things I do are not computer related.

I made a list and eliminated anything that I have not used the internet for...

Photography (I really should carry a camera at all times)
Clothing (never internet driven. I have to see it, feel it and try it)

There are so many more things I do and am in to that I cannot honestly say I have not used the internet for at one time or another.

[Artha]

I read a lot too, though not as much as I used to. Currently I'm reading Dante's Paradiso, then I'll be reading Milton's Paradise Lost, and then if I'm not dead, the Dialogues of Plato.

I play some pool, usually a couple hours each night, but not usually on weekends.

I sell drugs in my spare time to supplement my income, usually crack but sometimes heroine too.

[Kranar]

Very big on poker (texas hold'em). Paid for a crapload of my university tuition.

Formal language theory. The stuff you learn about the nature of truth and the role of semantic interpretation is very rewarding.

Army related stuff. Shooting machine guns and C7s, doing FIBUA exercises. Don't really do this as much as I used to but the army definitely has its good moments inbetween the 95% of crap you're put through.

[Alfster]

It really depends on the indoor temperature whether I go topless or not while gaming.

It's a jungle!



Boobs shouldn't have hair.

[Shari]

Those of us who visit the PC from the office don't have the luxury.

I would like to imagine (most of) the PC & WoW female players playing either tropless or at least bra-less.

I'd say...90% of the time I'm on the computer I am bra-less.

Edited to say "When I'm on the computer...AT HOME". Cause I'm on the computer all the time at work, and that would be bad. :(

[DeV]

and that would be bad. :(No, not really.

[SpunGirl]

After the experiences with your last two ex-girlfriends I'm glad you came to this conclusion.
