...being a grammar nazi. It's spelled "pastime."

Just kidding. I do bits of everything. I play games, read books, play a few sports, do a little electronics stuff. Whatever seems interesting.

I think out of all those i definitely play PC games the most. TV being a close second.

Actually, I do too, but I'd still rate boardgames and reading over that.

EDIT: If you do more than one, just pick the one you do the most or enjoy the most. For me, boardgames, all the way. Although PC gaming is a close second. And reading books is great. Hmmm...this poll would REALLY be interesting if AT polls allowed multiple selections you could prioritize....

Uh i have to work for a living,to pay my Mortgage,electric/heat bills,etc..........

When the weather is nice I like to work on my car.Or take it to a car show/cruise.
This time of year,I read,nef,and watch a little TV.

the internets. but you didn't even put that as an option (neffing at ATOT is not quite it.) :)

Well, you aren't working ALL day, now are you? Nor at all on the weekends....hence, the assumption made.

Updated that option. Also, added choices for our redneck friends and fundamentalist Quakers!

definitely playing Dungeons and Dragons (or any other tabletop roleplaying game).

but since I haven't found any groups to play with since college, I'd have to go with reading.

Don't give up on tabletop gaming just yet! You'd be surprised what you can find in your area if you tried.

interesting link :) I was involved in a D&D game that was played over IRC for awhile, but that kinda fell apart after a couple months.

I like to camp, hike, and fish, as well as the usual video games and books. I'd love to learn how to play the guitar at some point, too.
