When you are not online or at school or work? What is it you do to entertain yourself or what keeps you busy? Books? Music? Building something? Race Car Driver? Do we have many things in common other than this site membership?

Gardening, I love my garden, I have made it a little spot of heaven.. I grow lots of different plants.. just to see how they work with red clay soil... I also have a large house, which is hard work but love it totally clean and tidy... and I generally fiddle about outdoors with really non girl stuff like blower vacumns, and leaf mulchers, and guerny..wood stacks..
In the winter, I make clothes, just for myself.. really creative stuff... so I am a happy chap... but yeah, work is long days, and I have a second job also.. working remotely.. so I am kept busy, with all of that, my family and friends..

That is a lot indeed. I envy your organizational skills. I tend to be a bit scattered. I do work to get things in place, in fact tonight I have been organizing some of my music processing equipment. I have so many cords and power supplies it is like a science fiction movie of sorts. Thank you for sharing. I might have a question on gardening some day. Last year I just got a couple of goats and they ate most everything excepting a few plants I kept out of their reach. ;-]
I enjoy driving, and spending time on my motorbike. Although not very good at it, I like to paint. I train and teach a couple of things every now and then. I also like clothes shopping

I belong to a Toastmasters club, the Scottish American club I love visiting my local zoo I walk and hike when I can - in my local parks or in national parks around the nation - sometimes the beach - I swim I write, I read a lot! some gardening and I watch a lot! too much television -
I visit my friends or just pick up and drive somewhere and see what the neighborhood looks like - travel, I go to concerts, horse shows, community events I am trying to paint some rooms in my home -
But mostly lately I work - I don't know what I'll do when I retire as this has been taking up a chunk of my time - and I like to stay busy.
It would be nice to share this time with someone special -

Dragos1: Oh, I found them a good home over a year ago now. I had fun with them but they can be a big responsibility as well. I just have a cat now. lol. ;-}
Whew...!! I figure that goats could possible think it was Christmas in my garden... and I would be a very sad person..
Down time when not on here, which I'm not on as much. As the weather gets warmer there are a lot of events I take my kids to. Festivals and such. Usually costume themed. Otherwise, reading, knitting, dancing, taking time to hang with friends at a favorite watering hole. Oh and Movies.
