    Music. I have my guitars right next to my computer and hooked up through my external sound card. So even when I'm watching Netflix I'll pick up my guitar and play underneath it. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't pick up a guitar or go and practice drumming.

    I used to have a lot more. Photoshop/graphic design, reading, writing, maybe some others I'm forgetting. But I feel like any time spent doing that is time that I'm not working on music. Which in a way makes me question whether music is even a hobby for me anymore, it's probably more of a lifestyle choice or second job.

    Reading is probably my main hobby. I read quite a bit, comics as well as novels. I write when I can. I like to jog and meditate. I'm a cook but I don't really do much of it outside of work. I also don't game anywhere near as much as I used to/would like to.

    I'm the whitest person alive, essentially.

    I read when I can, mostly non-fiction and bios. My history FB page is back up! I started posting again last week.

    Most recently, I've started taking Pole Dance fitness classes. I'm getting hella big bruises, but I'm loving it and can really feel the changes in my body!

    I nap.

    There is nothing else I do on my own time.

    You should do it. It's worth it.

    -Naps: There's no better way of coping with a mind numbing situation with this.

    -Listening to what ever Music I want, when I want and being completely alone while listening to it

    -Art: something creative I can be practical and colourful with. And this is a place where I also need to be left to my own devices at present.

    Writing: I've had the writing bug since I was first taught how to use a pen and paper. At present, while I may feel willing to share this talent, I have no interest in making it a career. Once I see it as a job, it completely stops being fun for me.

    Gaming: this is like my music hobby. I shall play when I feel like it in the safety of my own imaginative cocoon
    ^_________________^

    Going for walks whenever feel like it, on my own, even if its night time. Where the loudest voice is only ever just my own thoughts. Being in touch with nature, and walking off whatever I'm currently irked about.

    Apart from gaming for me it's crafts and plushie making! It used to just be video games all the time but as I work with computers all day I really needed something that meant I wasn't staring at a screen.

    Video games first and foremost, obviously. Watching series, sports and film on the various screens. Reading, and by that I don't mean so much reading stories, but reading things like Wikipedia or articles around the web that are of interest to me. I just like to browse. There are a few sites such as EoFF, BBC Sports and imgur that I visit pretty much daily as a hobby of sorts. My cat, Smitzy, is sort of a hobby in that I often go out of my way to just chill with her and pat her while doing nothing else in particular. It's therapeutic. Oh, and world creation. I enjoy doing that. And looking at art online.

    Other than that, projects, I suppose. I occasionally just get into a mood where I just get some people together and make something happen, be it big or small. This can result in things such as the Ciddies, the FFVII: Moments art project, setting up a Minecraft server with a heavily customised modpack (this takes longer than you might think), or whatever, I guess.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    My hobbies all go in phases I think. I stick with one mostly with the other hobbies just popping up occasionally.

    Right now it's gaming and buying games/systems/etc, but I'm feeling like that phase is nearing it's end. After I play through FFV I'm probably done with doing a lot of gaming for a bit.

    My next hobby that's slowly taking more and more time is reading.

    Other hobbies include: writing, playing guitar, singing, acting, trying to teach myself to play piano, playing soccer (this I haven't done in a long time, but I've been feeling the itch lately), binge watching tv shows, collecting and watching horror movies, board games, running/going on walks, cooking, drawing, photography, hiking, geocaching, listening to podcasts...

    I'm sure there are some others, but these are probably the most likely candidates to end back up as an obsession.

    He also races cars, works on cars, plays video games, and reads. He listens to a lot of music as well. He likes a lot of comic books too and we've been starting to collect the Akira manga for him.

    He also has an interest in welding and metal working and glass blowing, so I am excited for the future when he gets to experiment with those hobbies.
