Default Interests other than Cars?

I think we've done this before but what are your main interests outside of cars and work? For me it's music, love my bass guitars and really enjoy playing music.

Personally, Computers (hardware, emulation, programming on the odd occasion, video games), science and technology, listening to music, heaps I can't think of at this hour (it's been a long day).

I like long walks in the park, candlelit dinners,... hang on...wrong site

I occasionally play substitute guitarist in a band, love fishing, making stuff (might try kite making, after taking the kids kite flying today) and making stuff work, computers (of course), and shit loads of other stuff, too.

I have lots of different interests. I love playing around with and building PC's and other new gadgets. PC games I tend to get addicted to until I finish it, I used to do a fair bit of work with Paint Shop Pro but haven't done anything for a while.

I love arts and crafts, sewing (patchwork), cross stitch, restoring furniture, big scrapbooking fan.

Love my music, photography, reading, watching documentaries. I think my favourite would have to be anything medical though, if I could get paid to study for the rest of my life I'd be at Uni. I already owe enough in HECS as it is though, I don't think that will stop me going back and doing another Bachelors or getting another Diploma in something. :
