What do you do for fun, and why?

[Forthegood]

Guitar, alcohol, women. Are their other things in life?

I like to go to the gym, and play XBOX Live FIFA 2009, but its not fun when you just lost 5 straight 1 goal games

 

[URHere]

-Theatre - because I'm addicted
-Martial Arts - because I feel like a bum if I don't train
-Writing for an Online Magazine - because I don't get a strong enough fashion fix in medical school
-Writing plays/screenplays - because I've been doing it for most of my life
-My Documentary - because medicine isn't just about treating people, it's about outreach and education, as well.

I do 8-bit paintings. My friend inspired me, so every now and then I try to do one of my own. I started off with a Bubble Bobble painting for my girlfriend and right now I'm working on Sonic.

 

[the antihero]

- wrestling, submission wrestling
- boxing, muay thai
- lifting heavy weights for strength (really just squatting and deadlifting and any westside barbell powerlifting stuff)
- chasing girls

I used to play videogames but I've kind of stopped. I for some reason see it as a waste of time and I'd rather be in the gym or on the mat. That's a shame too because in the start of this year I was so excited for all the games coming out..gears of war 2, fall out 3, far cry 2..and now I just don't care. My xbox is more or less a $400 paperweight. I should sell it or something..

frolfing

I've been playing for about 5 years now, entering tournaments here and there. I've also learnt that using the word "frolf" is very frowned upon by the pros (got a lecture from one after I used it warming up for a doubles tourny ); any of you guys notice this?

Anyways, my activities, in no particular order:

-guitar
-trumpet
-disc golf
-ultimate frisbee
-footbag (extra credit for anyone who knows what this is)
-TV/internet
-hanging out with friends

That's all I can think of right now.

 

[Vulcan]

Fencing and Capoeira!

Definitely. I've played for a couple years, and even my friends will give me crap for saying "frolf." I don't dare say it around the pros, though.

This thread made me realize that I have very little free time anymore, I haven't gotten to do much except for working out recently. On the weekends I'm usually catching up on housework or volunteering on Sundays.

During the semester, I spend whatever leisure time I have doing a 4-6 mile run or at the gym. Both excellent stress burners and helps keep the mind focused.
Also, when off semester, I have a bit more time so I do what I love doing the most: working with my hands and building scale models of cars. Here are some images of my recent project, can anyone name the car?

That was just a test fit and its far from completion. I've done everything from painting to sanding and glossing it. as well as putting it together. thats close to 100 pieces right there.

 

[SB100]

I do a couple things fairly consistently:

Bowling - I've been bowling since 4th grade and ended up taking it on at my high school. I became captain my junior year and ended my senior year with a 210 average. I still try to get to the alley any chance I get while at school. Why I do it? It's enjoyable both as a group activity and at the competitive level.

DJing - I have a radio show at my college's station that I've held since freshman year. I do it because I have great passion for music, especially turntablism and mixing electronic music.

 

[RySerr21]

I play rugby becaus its f'in bad ass.

 

[WolverineDoc13]

-I enjoy running! It's a new hobby -- ran my first 5k this past month! many more to go.
-I write short stories
-freelance journalism
-Career Advising (It's my job, but I have fun doing it)
-listening to my friends' problems
-movies/music

Looks nice! I used to build model cars too. I'm not entirely sure of the make, but it looks like a Porsche?

 

[teddybear]

Go-kart racing, cars, music, looking at goodlooking men.

Ferrari FXX?

Close. Its not a Porsche

Its actually the Ferrari Enzo. i didn't want to paint it with the ubiquitous red, so I decided to go with black

Second that. There are few things more satisfying than running the table on someone.

 

[1TB4RKSB4CK]

Writing poems relieves a lot of stress. Also sex but I mean that's just casual.

 

[AntiHouseMD]

I'm trying to get better at running, as it really helps with stress. I also write in my journal and read, mostly English mystery novels.

 

[Procyon]

I run and lift a lot. Nothing quite like the feeling you get from a good couple hours pumping iron. Listen to music, read, play video games on occasion. I feel like I need more hobbies. I've been trying to grow bonsai trees but they keep dying on me.

 

[Tuan]

Running (marathons) - relieves stress/great feeling of accomplishment (runner's high)
Work on my car - because its just fun
EAT! - because food tastes soo good!
