Have Any Hobbies Besides Lifting?

Whoops. How could I forget my favorite! Motorcycles (and, recently, track days!)

This saves me from winning the Most Geeky trophy.

SO far it’s down to soldog and sfp in my book. But SteelyD hasn’t weighed in yet…

Heh. I just read soldog’s. I also just started playing WoW again (after a break of two years. I was playing from launch until 2007, and now my girlfriend and I are playing again.)

MCL, Rosie Greer did beautiful needlepoint (If you don’t remember Rosie you may need a note from home to be here), and what is space opera?
Woodworking
Swimming, SCUBA diving, spear fishing, water skiing, but it’s been a couple of years
Volunteering (don’t know if that’s a hobby)
gardening (veggies)
compulsive reader, lot of history lately. Loved scifi before, burned out on all the series, go back to it everynow and then.
My dogs
Cooking

I guess video games do beat out most stuff.
I thought watch repair was geeky…
no takers on dungeons and dragons, no one will admitt it?
hmm what are Meats’ hobbies

Space Opera: Huge-scale, sweeping drama encompassing galaxies. A great contemporary author who’s wonderful at it is Iain M. Banks. The Algebraist is a good example of his.

Also, Alastair Reynolds.

Does that get me out of the geek spot?

Wait you guys did not read mine too closely - D&D guys make fun of Warhammer geeks.
But on another side to me I still roll with BJJ/judo guys and used to have a 10 sec Trans Am and a 9 sec Hayabusa.

Favorite Fantasy author is David Gemmel-- by far

ps: I played D&D from when I was 10 till about 34 yrs old minus the time I was in the service

LMAO… I was going to ‘opt out’…

  • Saltwater fly fishing (OK, this is an addiction)
  • Collect rocks/fossils
  • Collect old maps
  • Write computer code, build computers (yes, for work AND fun)
  • Digital Photography/Editing
  • Read Sci-Fi/Fantasy (at least a book a week, Just finished “Iron Angel” by Alan Campbell)
  • Guitar
  • Gardening (yes, gardening, bitches!)
  • Whitewater rafting/yakkin’

Internet, mulitplayer video games became more of a habit/addiction than ‘hobby’. :wink:

I bet I win, I do SCA Medieval Renactment Combat…

I will now wait for the geek trophy.

Motorcycle, heavy metal music, getting tats worked on, sketching(now and then), vector calculus (one more year until a BA.S. in mechanical engineering). That’s all I have time for until school is over

My avatar (I wish), does dating younger women count?

That’s not geeky - it’s just strange.

J/k. I had a bunch of friends who were involved in it. Most banged-up group of people I knew, but very dedicated.
