Aside from obsessing over handbags, what are your hobbies?

Personally, I like to learn, expand my intellectual horizon, I scour the web like a freakin' bot at times. I enjoy watching TV shows (especially 24, CSI, CSI:NY, Family Guy) as well as movies (only the English originals, the dubbed German versions give me rashes), and I love mountain biking. Mountain biking rather tends to be an obsessions of my own, I blew almost $3k on a Cannondale 1.5 years ago, and I plan on buying a new one this year sometime. :lol:
 
I love to read (particularly mystery novels i.e. Agatha Christie) Love to workout 6 days a week! I definately love to do some online shopping( thanks alot Vlad and Megs ..it is your fault ;) !) The rest of my time is spent trying to get this psychology degree..one more year yay!! However, after the meeting I had on thursday regarding grad school..I needed either my usual rum and diet coke or some retail therapy!
 
I also read alot...the last book I read was "my friend leonard" by James Frey, excellent book! (I support him totally, and have now lost some faith in Oprah) I am in love with my dog, Maya, so I spent 90% of my free time with her, I have lost all interest in clubbing or doing much of anything since I got her in September. She really is my little baby, and I hate leaving her. I wouldn't say travelling is a hobby, but I have family in Canada, England, Holland, and now here in the south, so I do it quite a bit, and enjoy it of course. Otherwise its alot of online shopping, and drinking chai latte's! Oh, and I've re-discovered the t.v. show "Roseanne" LOL seriously...try watching it again, hilarious! I love nick at night. I also obsessively take pictures of Maya, its rediculous, but otherwise inspiration is at an all time low.
 
I love to run, read, go to the beach, hang out with the bf and friends, go to shows, sleep (!!!).... The bf and I watch a lot of movies, we have that online Blockbuster service :love:
 
I love to read, sleep, EAT (you're not alone Noriko!), watch rated R movies (the more bloody, violent and scary the better), hang out with friends, people-watching, hang with family, snuggle up with bf, traveling, etc...
 
i'm a huge concert person. i love music, and i've seen the cure 7 times. depeche mode a close 5. and of course photography, but i have to admit the cure/music came first before photography. photography came a few years later.

i collect barbie dolls. fill my room with stuff. crunchy goes with my everywhere if i can take her. i hang out a lot with my bf.
 
I love eating and cooking, I'm vegetarian so I think I'm a lot more conscious of my food choices as well as food preparation.. or at least I try to be. I read a hell of a lot, I really want to be able to try to say at least something reasonably intelligent about everything someday. Of course that probably won't happen with everything (sports.. so boring !). I love surfing the net, and reading the news online since I don't have cable - I'm a total news buff. I also end up fixing a lot of computers, both at work (at an ISP) as well as at home.. my roommate wanted to get me a shirt from thinkgeek that said "No I will not fix your computer" but I probably would have worn that to work which is probably not the best message to send ! ;) I like movies a lot, especially documentaries (Art of War anyone?). Augh, I feel like I'm writing a novel, but I've also got to get in that I really love animals, so I'm fostering 2 cats with my roommate at this point, and I also have a rat named Spot. I love them all so much !!

Oh and I've been on a video game kick recently, my best friend reintroduced me to the world of PS2 with katamari damacy and I must, must have everything katamari !!

I used to love pottery and photography.. but those are in the down cycles now.. they'll make a come back eventually !

I really like video games :lol: Also watching movies, and of course eating *hangs head in shame*

No shame in eating....I love to eat! Plan my days around meals ;) .

My other hobbies are: playing tennis, reading (last book I read was "Marley & Me"), shopping, making jewelry, watching movies (a lot of movies...because of the snow this weekend, I rented a few things).
