I am interested in hearing what you all do to fill in time. :) Football doesn't count in this topic. :D
A few hobbies of mine are-
1. Fishing
2. Parkour
3. I also play guitar (okayish).
So...what are yours? ;)

It is an A+ workout. I don't attempt anything higher than myself.

Online poker - not for real money though ATM
Golf - very poorly :)
Bass guitar - although not as much as I used to when I was in a band :(
Planted Aquariums - have a squiz at my tank (man wish I'd cleaned that algae off before taking that pic!):

Wow very nice setup TFB. I am thinking of getting a 6x6ft tank and set it up witha natural riverbed scene for a Murray Cod. :D
When fully matured yabbies and goldfish would fill it up.
Dancing - although my mum won't drive me to classes anymore so it is becoming quite rare.
Music - Used to play Violin and attempt to sing
I know this sounds nerdy but I also did some Adjudicating this year for Queensland Debating Union. I always loved debating... a co-curricular at school where you are allowed to always be right n tell everyone else that they are wrong...

Cricket is fantastic. I play for my school.
Best Batting- 108 off 106 (9th batsman :o). Best Bowling- 6 for 19 :eek:
I bowl medium pace with alot of swing. Like Hoggard.
I used to be an opening-batsman but I just swung at everything and had about 5 ducks in 15 matches. ;)
1) Sports - AFL, NRL, A League, EPL, NFL
2) Body Piercing - I got my 10th piercing today :D
3) Going out with mates especially my mate Phillip he is the best - love you. xxx
EDIT: 4) Listening to music
5) MSN
6) Internet
The usual....
My first love in life is music. I suspect I would be lost without it. The net has been a godsend on terms of discovering new music. Is that a hobby? I do play chess though very badly.

Recording video and editting, making short films, stuff like that.
Pretty big on the weather too, love a good severe thunderstorm, quite beautiful to capture on film
Also a bit of an animal man, love marine animals and reptiles the most.
Bit of a stats man and tactics man when it comes to footy, always reserching and updating stats, looking to copy or modify tactics and adjust to my coaching style. Quick fun.
Oh, and I love coaching footy :D

just starting to get into a bit of scrapbooking
started a tapestry about 7 years ago - still going!!
music - huge part of my life so listening to, watching on foxtel, docos and a bios, live shows etc
reading - nothing better than finishing the housework, clean and tidy house, then an afternoon laying on the bed or sitting on the back patio and reading a good book
I am addicted to crossword and sudoku etc etc
Is spending time with your friends a hobby
Planning next trip Overseas - googling places to go and see etc
Watching trashy shows on telly!

Tried them/that/it:confused: only recently. And it's good. Those number puzzles are what I prefer.
We really do have a broad range of people on this forum, don't we! Crazy stuff.

No, no freeware games sorry.
Hobbies?
Only one at the moment - Duran Duran - and even that is on an extremely limited basis! I dont' care what it is, if DD comes up - my ears prick up and bingobango I'm off..........so maybe that isn't even a hobbie...........a limited time available obsession is probably a better word.
After my household doubled in size last year to includ another adult and a baby, then 3 months ago added a 7yo...........well hell I'm flat out finding internet time for study or Bigfooty, let alone have any other interests.........I was horrified to find I had a new book on my bedside stand for 3 weeks before I even opened it........I used to be such an avid reader - read the davinci code in one sitting.............:(
Right now I really should be making tomorrows lunches and b'fast bowl for daycare/before school care and getting other junk done for my son to go off to his grandparents house seeing as he has finished school for the year already........but I'm here instead................guess who's gonna be up at 5.30 tommorow making lunches and waving folks out the door at 6am........:(

This sounds more like a plea for help.

On some days I'm sure it is!!!!!!! But until I win lotto and employ a maid/housekeeper/nanny...........welll instead it's up to me. And see even tonight - can't go without - gone and done deed/s and no longer do I have to get up at 5.30 tomorrow morning.
You see I'm really not a morning person - AT ALL - so Hobby-wise.......auto-discount ANYTHING that means ones brain has to function in any capacity pre-8.30am.
