I enjoy to cook, (Bought top of the line normal brand appliances, and that wasn't for show. I enjoy model railways, reading, TV& Movies (In the cinemas or on DVD without commercials, not all of it main stream) while I do other things. I'm not too much into music except for my "drive time", I enjoy autos/computers. I used to snowmobile but haven't had nearly as much time for that. Over all I'm a fairly boring person. I used to play Reach/Quiz Bowl while in school. I used to be in Students Against Impaired Driving / Peers Against Drugs. I was not on the chess team but I was in the science club. I'm a former scout. (I would definitely enroll my kids in that program if they so wish, along with 1 or 2 sports but not push them, again only if they wish). Oh and I love to travel, wish I had the time and money. So what do you like?
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Hmmmm is there more to life than Disney?

Before becoming a family man and a professional, I have been in the UK's National Youth Theatre, played drums, children's entertainer, I was a non com officer in the Sea Cadet Corp specialising in Seamanship - Tall Ships Sailing, Rowing and Nautical Communications. I used to War Game and Role Play, I beat Cambridge in the Debating Society, ran Student Community Action Wales - a voluntary agency of over 5000 students on 92 different community projects (Child Protection Contact Centres, Visiting the elderly, supporting the disabled, environmental conservation projects etc.) I also used to Line Dance, Ciroque, and Salsa. But now Family and work take up 90% of my time, Disney 8% and everything else the remaining 2%.

Anyone who has access to my MySpace profile or have me on their AIM/AOL buddy list can tell you I am ALWAYS logged on! I also love to shop, and travel. Two hobbies/interests that require mucho dinero, which I have none to spare for big sprees or trips. I also love making new friends, especially ones with new and different (and legal) interests (so I can copy you LOL). So if you like to chat, or have a myspace page and need another friend, hit me up on my email (in my profile) and we'll chat! LOL

We don't do it nearly enough, but I love to go to museums - especially historical ones, science and art museums too. I love planetariums and watching the stars/planets through a telescope. I love festivals and fairs. Finally, we stay very busy with activities at our church. See, there are lots of things to do outside of Disneyland!
Originally Posted By jasmine7 I'm a classic geek. I love Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, comic books, am an avid World of Warcraft player. I love history, especially British & classical history. I'm an avid reader, especially if it's sci-fi/fantasy or non-fiction historical accounts/biographies. I love movies and have a huge collection (too huge, according to my folks, lol). I also love photography, Renaissance fairs, and playing with my cat & dog & my parents' three dogs.
Originally Posted By Disneyma I love to play games. Playstation or computer. I also like to swim and read any thriller. Oh, and I love to plan my next Disneyland vacation. I love to orgainze the pictures and spend time online "researching" our next trip. Sorry, I couldn't hold out any longer! I am a Disneyland junkie, sorry.

Originally Posted By fkurucz I used to be active in martial arts (Tae Kwon Do) until I developed some arthritis in my right knee and my doctor told me to forgo any high impact activities (ie. no jogging, soccer or TKD!).

Its hard to find a place that teaches Tai Chi as a martial art (as opposed to Chinese Yoga). Otherwise I like to read and be a soccer dad. We also have a couple of dogs (a Bichon and a German Shepherd, how's that for an odd couple?), but I guess that they don't count as "hobbies".
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I have the flame of a Gypsy that burns deep inside me,as I like to be free in thought and creativity and can take things that are discards and make something of them. I make/paint and sell Folk Art. (Like the stuff you see in The House of Blues in Down Town Disney.) I have a deep rooted LOVE of music and have a very eclectic taste. From country/bluegrass, blues, rock'n roll, big band era *think Benny Goodman,count Basie,Tommy/Jimmy Dorsey etc... I also have a deep deep LOVE of old movies and TRUE stars of days gone bye.. Carey Grant,Danny Kaye,Katherine Hepburn..you get the jist. I love to cook/bake, garden and go antiquing.. I'd rather live in an old farmhouse or barn out in the country if I could or like in Rhode Island near the ocean/lake. ( stuff you'd see in a Country Living magazing) I feel like I was born too late but just in time..I'm an old soul caught in a new world. Yup.. that pretty much sums me up.
Originally Posted By 4Disnee I love to do yard work it is very relaxing and rewarding to me. We like to camp with family and friends. We have a 56 Ford Pickup that we take to car shows. We love to hang out with our family and friends any chance that we get. Our son just got a Quarter Midget for his birthday so that is our new hobby. So much to keep us busy but Disneyland is my all time fav!
Originally Posted By a goofy guy Other than being a Disney fan, I also collect coins. I have old coins and Silver Certificates from the U.S.A. and some paper money and coins from around the world! I also like to crochet.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I'm pretty boring compared with a lot of you! I love to travel and wish I could do more of it. Like Jasmine, I'm a big comic book fan and I also LOVE my books. My favourite author is Jodi Picoult, but I'll read most things. I love listening to music, but lately have only been listening to music on the way to and fro work. I just got MP3 speakers so I can listen to music while I'm reading in bed. I'd live at the movies if I could! I've seen 34 thus far this year, which is more than once a week. It's pretty much my favourite thing to do. I also have a huge DVD collection, so I'll often spend a Saturday night watching DVDs at home. I scrapbook and I shop, and I shop for scrapbooking materials! My scrapping stuff (excluding the actual scrapbooks, which are in my bookcase) take up an entire cupboard, and I can't stop myself from buying more. But I love all kinds of shopping, and to prove this have just bought another WDCC figure from eBay, lol. I've recently become dangerously addicted to Facebook, and find myself checking it at least once a day. I also have two Live Journals that I post on regularly (one's a "Regular" journal and the other is my Online Hate List!!), in addition to LP of course. And last, but definitely not least, I love mythology, especially Greek.
