I know it's a most wonderful and enjoyable life reading books, and writing stories, yet the horrors of real life lurk out there. Is there anything else you all do apart from reading? And writing?

I like to ride my mountain bike, although sadly there really aren't any good trails around my current city of residence.

I like to work out (with weights) and I also do yoga sometimes.

Since I have a three-year old I spend a lot of time at the nearest park, or sitting on the floor doing puzzles and colouring in Bob the Builder colouring books.

I used to play a lot of computer and video games but have sort of gotten out of that habit.

But the main thing I do in my free time is read. :)

What about you Gabador?

I play basketball twice a day when I can. I shoot on my own, seeing there's not many english people who like to play.
I love to cycle. Just the other day, I cycled a whole lot, and it's really fun.
I play computer games, and I read.... Whoops. That's allready known. I'm a hermit by nature, so I'm not very sociable. But a night out is good now and again.
But my most trusted, and interesting interest is my thoughts.Sounds bigheaded, but I love to think. It is just so much fun coming up with a lot of What if? scenarios. And new ideas. Phylosophizing(if there's such a word) I came up with explanations for a whole lot of things while doing it.

I used to skateboard and got good enough to acquire a few sponsors, but recently I injured myself pretty badly and now I can no longer do it. Sucks.

I love to paint and draw. It's something I've done all my life and will always do. It's good fun.

I play any musical instrument I can get my hands on, and I'm currently in two bands. I play guitar, bass, drums, banjo, accordian, sing, and can play a bit of the piano, violin and flute and make a lot of beats on my computer. I used to practice for hours and hours everyday, but then I discovered writing, which now eats up most of my free-time.

I also play a lot of video games, watch movies more than I probably should, make short films with a friend of mine and am a veteran of the ultimate sport, wall ball (A.K.A. butts up).

But really, reading and writing take up more of my time than anything else.

I like to play a videogame now and then. I'm currently playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault online but I'm growing tired of it. The game I waiting for is Warcraft III.
I also like to hang out with my friends and play some soccer. And of course I spend the rest of my free time in a pub or at a party.

Travel as much and as far as I can.

I only wish I could travel more. It's so much fun. Unfortunately it also takes a lot of money, and I'm not exactly a millionaire.

Where do you travel Crysania? Is it work related or recreational?

Ahh, I remember doing stuff just because I wanted too, but then uni exams started and I took the long retreat into hermitage.:p
The future is bright however, exams are drawing to a close and it will not be long before I am once again pogoing and making a fool of my self in public.

I research and teach historical European Martial Arts. Mainly C16th English single hand sword, and C13th German sword and buckler.

I also never leave home without one of my guitars.
