A lot. Setting my literary side aside, I do a lot of stuff. Studying is like, a must for me, because I'm running for academic heights. I'm also the Editor-in-chief of our school paper and a Board Member of our school council, two positions making my life happier but much more difficult.

Other than that, I spend almost every Sunday at Church, Sunday School and the cinema with my family. You might think that being with your mom and dad is weird for my age, but the three of us rarely bond anymore even though we are in the same house because I am really busy with a lot of things, YWS not included.

I also play video games (Pokemon and Final Fantasy fanatic here) and play Scrabble, Uno and Game of Life. I collect stamps, books and DVD's. I also do Photoshop and InDesign, so some people order multimedia works for me, making me more busy. Life is good though :)

Seriously? Other people do that too? :mrgreen:

Well, I also draw (figuring, I go to art school), and I sing when there's no one around.. I also play guitar, some piano.. I walk around and dream a lot. And read, of course. And don't study, but rather member stuff in classes or something *shrugs*

. . . I will probably think of other things later, huh.

When I'm not on YWS, I design cars for people based on their faavorite cars, colours, and vinyl preferences.

I'm more of a lurker now and have been for years but here I go.

I read, play with my animals, am a low ranking martial artist, hang out with my friends, demonstrate martial arts when I can, sing horribly, spend way too much time online, and am studying to be a vet tech. I love tattoos and plan on getting more (I have two).

I love to go for long runs, but unfortunately haven't been able to get out very often lately with the weather. I also read, train dogs, play piano, ride horses, ice skate, and walk dogs for my neighbors. Not terribly exciting, I know, but it's good enough for me.

I turn to read, write, draw, paint, learn different random stuff out of curiosity. I used to run, swim and ride a bike for the fun of it but my parents won't let me go out anymore. And I enjoy meditating or hearing music while relaxing on a beautiful sunny or rainy day. And I do turn to think a lot when I'm bored...which means I spend most of my time analyzing life in a very peculiar way.

I read, sing, songwrite, act, draw... I guess I mentioned singing.
Yeah, those are some of the things I say about myself.

I'd get bored doing these on a usual basis though, so I keep looking for new things.

I enjoy non-fiction books about my hobbies, and when I read those I call it "studying" or "research," though I'll probably never write a paper about any of it lol. I like "studying."

Which is true. I have a hefty collection of Japanese study aids. Books of grammar, books of idioms, kanji books, text books, dictionaries. I don't actually own an English dictionary, come to think of it.

I'm always on the verge of drawing something. As a child I drew well and often, and everyone thought I was going to be an artist. My father sort of started trying to groom me for that path, and I think my psyche rebelled because now I don't draw much anymore at all, though I'm always wanting to. There was an awkward few years of my life where "Why don't you draw anymore?" was more often heard than "How are you?" Not to brag but, yeah, I can draw pretty well ;)

I collect Tarot decks, but reading has taken a back seat.

Kimono: AKA wallet vampires! I collect and wear kimono, which is often a thankless and impoverishing love :(

I work full time, so reading is the easiest hobby to get into in my free time because it's so portable. I travel to visit people and spend most of my cash on bus tickets, subway fare, food, and trying to amuse myself :/ I don't have any cash left over for my incubating hobbies, like a collection of gargoyles (I have... 3 so far) or Victorian costuming (of which I have none, nor do I even have the sewing skills!)

Anyway *shuts up*

Hmm. Let's see.

I read. Anything, everything I can get my hands on, more or less, even if what I read infuriates me or makes me supremely uncomfortable. It's basically a compulsion. I wikidrift like you wouldn't believe.

I love genetics, because they are letters that make and break creations and it is fantastic and horrible and beautiful. I also love figuring out how brains work, because brains are weird-looking but basically magic.

I have a hobby called avoidance. I am very good at avoiding confrontation, stairs/escalators, dogs, kitchens, blood, and skulls. Yes, this is a hobby. Not a list of phobias.

I rescue cats, because I am a cat whisperer. If there was an Olympic sport involving capturing feral kittens, I would win gold.

I do artistic things, like pouring various fluids onto paper to see what happens, exploding ping pong balls, painting portraits, dressing like 'different people', taking weird photos of things, collecting small antiques and attaching them to collages, and turning my room into a pit of chaos.

I play and help create SIM games. Because why not?

I dance. Previously with a group, now by myself whenever music is on. I cannot watch Glee for this reason.

I should go into acting or gambling because I can lie better than anyone else I know, which is saying a lot, because everyone believes my dad's side of the family has a genetic predisposition to being card sharks.

I horseback ride when I can and I have a preference for Arabians. They're basically the horse equivalent of a luxury car.

I'm also trying to learn German and hope to eventually learn Irish Gaelic or Shelta, because I like language a bit too much than is technically probably healthy.
My SPD senses are tingling.

Ballet.

Pretty much the only thing I have time for besides school. I go to ballet every evening from 3pm to 10 pm. Except for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I spend my weekends babysitting and my Sundays at the church for most of the day, and then cleaning for the rest of the day. xD

I draw and paint, play guitar, sew stuff I'll never use, and make badass cakes, even if I say it myself.

*takes deep breath*

I...

Swim, sing, draw tattoo designs, read, sleep, party, doodle, talk too much, crack sarcastic jokes, laugh, play Truth-or-Dare with my friends, do my homework, (most of the time >.>), listen to music (LOTS of music), SBs, cause I'm totally addicted xD, play video-games, dance, snack, solve my friends problems, make up languages, do accent impressions, stay up late, do random things, paint my nails multicoloured, dust, and trade/give away food at school. Besides that I'm prone to getting severe migraines,spacing out, laughing hysterically, and the not so occasional blond moment. ^u^

Spoiler
I'm certain I didn't cover anything, but i guess that's the gist *shrugs*
