What is your favorite pastime other than mtg
What people like to do can tell you a lot about them, and I would really be interested to know more about every here
Mine would have to be Tae-kwon-do which I'm a second degree black belt In, I've been doing it since I was 4 and I'm 16 now. I love it so much because all the friend I make there and all the stuff you learn, like word are your strongest weapon and respect, discipline, determination, perserverence and conference, which all are very helpful in life. Without Tae-kwon-do idk where I would be its changed me so much for the better, I probably wouldn't have many friends without it.
Now I would really love to know what everyone else dose.
I play drums. I love it, been doing it for probably about 10 years at various different intensities. I always wanted to get into combat sports.
Mine would be fishing. Love the feel and fun of it. Been fishing for 25 years since I was 6. Been playing magic off and on since beta.
I play music mostly. Guitar, bass, and synth in various side projects. I've been getting back into reading and writing, and I dabble in various photoshop projects.

I use to play guitar, played about 3 years was really good at it but then school for in the way, I was homeschooled the time I was playing it.
Any fighting sport it good to do from what you learn, at the Tae-kwon-do school I go to I've been there the longest of all the student the one that's been there the second longest has been taking it for 3-5 months shorter then me. Since I'm 16 I dont get payed for teaching but I still teach, the other guy is the second main instructor, the owner is an 8th degree black belt and is the best person you will ever meet, he's always smiling even when he's not happy(so you never know if he's in a bad mood) he's every respected and teaches bully proofing at schools all over, he is the person I look up to

I teach Silat, a couple of the malayasian styles of it. Been involved in Martial arts for over 20 years now and love it and love magic as it gives my brain a workout ha ha. Funny reading the other post as I sea fish on and off. Nothing quite like it!!
Teaching it is fun, and 20 years that's a long time, but I'm never quitting so I'll be doing it that long and longer,
My favorite is bowling. Both my parents love the sport and they passed that love to me. My high school team, the Birch Run Panthers, made it to states our senior year. We ended up placing 2nd in the state for teams. I still bowl regularly. I ended my last fall league with a 216 average. MilSim Paintball is another sport I thoroughly enjoy, but only when I have the money to fund it.
A more creative activity I enjoy would be screenwriting. It's my current course at school, and my favorite. We are almost midway through our 1st feature screenplay. 90-120 pages and it's rough.
Another thing I like to do is snowboard I've been doing it for 5 years now, it's a lot of fun.
I'm also very creative, Iove to draw and write story's, I'm actually working on a book that if it turns out good then I'll make it a trilogy.
It's time is when swords and bows were used and there's magic in there, it's a theme kind of like skyrim it has the imperials and the rebellion that dosent like its ways so far it's ok but it need a lot more to it and editing a lot
Guitar player and martial artist here! Love both of them, they're great for letting off some steam. I've also grown to really enjoy cooking, when I get the chance.

I haven't tried a pie or cheesecake yet, I'll have to give it a whirl, and see how it goes.
As for martial arts, I've been going on and off with it for around 11 years, and am now starting to get back into it recently.

I tried making cheese cake once but it didn't come out right and I never found out what I did wrong but I did make an amazing apple pie

That's pretty sweet. A skyrim-like universe would be a fun setting to play with. Especially with MtG for some inspiration.
My screenplay is about a CIA sponsored economic hitman who stumbles onto a financial conspiracy. This project will need some heavy rewrites, but I'm not going back yet.

CIA story sounds fun
I've always like old times when swords and bows were used, its really fascinating to read story's in thoughts times but my favorite will always be fantisy worlds like, the wheel of time
Cooking.
I cook and I fish besides playing magic.

What do you like to cook the most
Salmon on the grill is probably my favorite, casserole's, steak, and a couple desserts: fried bananas covered in chocolate with a cinnamon powder is my daughters favorite. Love working in the garden, wanted to go to school for botany at one point and time.

Omg that banana thing sounds amazing I want the recipe like not even kidding I need to try that
I've always been an avid gamer. Pretty much every genre. I game with a few good friends on a pretty regular basis.
I'm also a pretty good cook/baker. I love to stir-fry Chinese food for savory meals, and cakes are my specialty for baking.
Cheesecake is tricky - but it's really all about 2 things - the recipe and and the pan. You -need- a quality springform pan for cheesecake. And of course, your recipe has to be legit ;) I can probably hook you up with one that I know is good, if you dare to try again. I must say, cheesecake is one of the most obnoxious cakes to make.

I'd love to try again cuz cheesecake is my favorite and what would you consider a "good quality" springform pan I have one but idk if it's any good
Watching Doctor Who lol
On springform pans: The short answer is it can't leak. In or out. At all.
Video games for sure. I'll play almost anything and That's basically the biggest tie between my friends and me (not the only reason, of course.) We're all pretty big gamers and any normal discussion can quickly turn into a discussion about games.
Recently it's been all horror for me. I love playing a game that makes me pause out of fear. Oh, that and my friend may have just gotten me bak into Starcraft II. Which means I'm going to have to go buy Heart of the Swarm when I pick up Metro: Last Light ๎

Mix flour and Cinnamin together well, melt 2 tablespoon of butter in a skillet, cut bananas length wise then in half, fry em up.
Mix another teaspoon of Cinnamin and a 1/4 cup of sugar together. Drizzle Hershey's chocalte syrup over the fried banana once cooked then sprinkle the Cinnamin sugar over once done.

I have everything ins make it tonight
Dam now I'm hungry lol
Haha go to town on it.
haha texting and skateboarding too.
And texting. I text a lot.
Let's see.
I play the cello. I've been playing it for 5+ years and love music in general. I play a bunch of video games. I'm not too MLG but I enjoy the stories or the gameplay. I love anything nerdy in general. As previously discussed in Dr. Who topic.
.politics., economics and law - a hobby of my lifetime.
RPGs when I was younger, cRPGs now.
Fishkeeping (I have biggish marine fish tank).
Electronics and home automation. http://chattyhome.com
Recently, cooking. This seems popular ;]
Maybe I will pick up Warhammer Fantasy Battle again ;)
Can I say making iMtG?

.politics., economics and law I don't know if I can grasp yet another person I've meet who wants to go into law
Umm, not sure where to begin. Well, here is the list that best shows what my favorite pastimes are (I have a lot of hobbies, so do not be surprised).
I have a profound love for Anime and Manga. So I spend much of my time partaking in activities that are associated with those mediums.
In addition to the above, I also play the piano. I have played the piano for around 8 years or so. I mainly play by ear since the songs I like have no sheet music.
I am also a huge video gamer (I love my JRPGs).
I am a brony, so MLP: FiM is another favorite pastime of mine.
I am also a very philosophical person, so any kind of debate that requires me to critically think or contemplate meaning in any given idea also seems to stimulate my enjoyment in conversing as a whole.
I am an avid Batman fan, so bring on the movies and novels (Batman and Robin the movie can stay right where it is at 83 miles away from anything else Batman related).
Writing articles for you guys here is also a favorite activity of mine.
I am sure there are more, but the above make up the majority of my pastimes outside of MTG
I play magic, read, write, do pixel art, geometrical art, and other styles, and I like photoshopping things:) I don't watch much tv but when I do I watch science and discovery channel. I am a southern baptist and I stand firm in my faith, I very much enjoy going to church.
I play MtG: 2013 and CoD:BO2 on the weekends when I'm not visiting family or at church.
Mtg of coarse.
Well, I read quite a bit of manga, and watch anime. Then I write fanfictions about the mangas I read.
I love video games such as Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal 1, and 2, Uncharted 1, 2, and 3, Assasian's Creed 2, and 3.
There are some parodies I watch such as Team Four Star's "Dragon Ball Z Abridged."
I sing. A LOT. It would be my job when I get a little older. I play piano, which I just make up stuff that sounds either ethereal, or dark and sinister. Then I play the French horn 3rd year playing.
That's what I can think of at the moment.
A few things :)
For one, I've played piano for almost 10 years, so that's a large chunk of my day is practice for that. Additionally, I am a competitive fencer! (No it's not actual sword fighting) this takes up much of my weekdays after school. Finally, I enjoy a good book. I recently cut all video games out of my life. That was a change for the better- I see them as a waste of my time now anyways.
Lets see, I'm a gamer of all types.
I am a former musician, I used to play drums and guitar avidly but school and work got in the way.
I'm really big into anime/manga. I also cook. That's what my schooling is for right now, culinary. I can cook all sorts of things. Worked in a seafood/steakhouse as a cook for near 7 years. I also have a pomchi named Growlithe that has has the power to turn me into a 6 year old girl.
I also love concerts/live shows. Whether its big artists or local/underground venues, I just love the entire scene.
I love to sing, but when I'm not singing, I am playing League of Legends or Sims 3.
Let's see:
I play soccer
Throw in track
Play in a band
Avid statician for my schools boys basketball team
I picked up running last year and have been enjoying it when I can (although I've been busy lately, poor excuse I know). I plan to get back into biking this summer and try and get above my old 50 mile limit. Other than those, I like to read and drive around with my friends and hang out.

I am a guy, but he is adorable and makes me giggle like a girl from he cuteness.
I sing and play guitar, I play tennis competitively, I study literature for university, and I dabble in coding
Archery, I'll be the only guy at the range with a traditional longbow and not a compound bow, I also enjoy swimming
I am quite the swimmer, I miss the ocean off the beaches of Hawaii, but I have a good life here in Idaho and settle for the pools, lakes, and river.
I am still fairly competitive in Super Smash Bros. but have given up competitions for that game.
When I find time I enjoy a little Skyrim or CoD with my neighbors.
Above all though I love knowledge, specifically teaching. It doesn't matter the subject, I just enjoy observing what others do with the knowledge I share with them.

I've been trying for the longest time to find a nice, big, standalone archery target so that I can get back into archery. I really enjoyed it. I still have a beautiful recurve bow, just waiting to be restrung and used. I'm not a fan of compound bows either - takes the fun out of it IMO. I love recurves.

Hear, hear! Compound bows are only good for hunting, in my opinion. In regards to hitting targets with em, it's too easy.

Mine would have to be Tae-kwon-do which I'm a second degree black belt In, I've been doing it since I was 4 and I'm 16 now. I love it so much because all the friend I make there and all the stuff you learn, like word are your strongest weapon and respect, discipline, determination, perserverence and conference, which all are very helpful in life. Without Tae-kwon-do idk where I would be its changed me so much for the better, I probably wouldn't have many friends without it.
Now I would really love to know what everyone else dose.
Not to be mean, but it took you 12 years to become a second degree? I started when I was 10. I got my 2nd at 15.
It all depends on where you go, it took me 3 years to get to green stripe at which point I quit because I was bored because I wasn't learning anything new
Tennis is fun!

I started and had to go through a bunch of belts I had to go through striped belts like orange with green stripe then I got my first degree when I was 10 and it took me 3 years before i got my second.
The school I go to is well known where I live it's the best or close to the best school in Ohio in a lot of people's opinion
Search Cinncinati Martial Arts Club and check out our website I probably have a picture or to of me on there
I used to play video games, draw, paint, play board games, play guitar, collect legos (especially) and dabble in cooking and baking.
Now I have a 1 year old instead๐.
I still find some time for those other things but it's a lot less than it used to be. Even so, I figure in 4 or 5 years my genetics will kick in and I'll have a board gaming, lego building, paint brush wielding little girl with which to share my passions.
Usually I find myself craving to leave the city when I have free time. I usually go camping with some friends to the hot springs in thr woods or high desert and we throw a mini party, djing and all that jazz. Ill take long exposure photos, video and practice fire poi while camping.
Then there's festivals.....good gravy Marie! They are fun!
Otherwise I like to get stoned and eat good food when I have some free time to myself in the city in between gigs girlfriend and magic nights
Ok the past 2 1/2 weeks I've had only one pastime except Tae-kwon-do and it's a game on the iPod called reign of dragons
I'm so addicted to it now and would recommend you try it, it's free with ingame purchases
If you do start to play it can you please put in my referal code, it's BZF94VS Just go to you status then tap in your referal code and put mine in we will both get a special card if you do
kk I'll try it, you should get Defender of Texel too, that's the one I'm hung up in right now
I got 60,000th in the pvp event, I feel so special
I downloaded the game, but I can't connect to the game server, is it offline right now? ._.

Piano. I especially love to make up music. I don't brag all that much but I must admit whenever there's a girl in the house I kinda like I tend to start playing that cool song I've been practicing lately... :D
I'm somewhat of an outdoorsmen. I like to hunt and fish, shoot firearms, and recently I have picked up frisbee golf. I also play video games.
I love music, im in 2 bands, i play guitar and piano. I also do a lot of graphic design work and i hope to be a freelance graphic designer sometime in my life
my favorite pastime is still gaming though, be it racing, shooting, or sitting down for a good RPG, I love em all
For my past time I make short films not going longer than half an hour some are animated some are with real people its a very fun thing to do when someone has so much on their mind
please don't build me a dirt house with cobblestone furniture! XD
